When competing it is essential to be aware of the various tactics that you need to pull in order to move ahead. Overtaking is an essential art to learn thus and there are many books as well as websites that write on shortcuts of becoming good at the trick. The idea is to maintain a smooth constant speed that is not your maximum at all times but rather a comfortable uniform one which does not require too much effort.
When one gets close to the rider he should look for the right moment and then at a point where the other person is perhaps straining their most one should start increasing their speed much above normal which will be incompatible by others as they are already putting in their best and so you have an easy window to move forward from.
While doing this the riders should ideally maintain a distance of 3 feet in order to ensure their safety as well as that of the other person.
