On AsiaWheeling, the obstacles in these cities multiply: unpaved roads, conflicting street signs, vehicles ranging from fellow bicyclists to gigantic fuming buses, livestock, rickshaws, and open sewers. Often, we are without map or compass to sharpen our innate sense of direction and stimulate interactions with the local population.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">So what keeps us unified and organized so that we may surmount the intricacies of the many metropolitan villages? The Wheeling Field Commands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">As you may be aware, the rider frontmost in the pack and closest to the flow of traffic is christened the <strong>bishop<\/strong>, or symply the <strong>bish<\/strong>. The bishop issues the field commands to the rest of the formation, including both formational and directional commands. The rider bringing up the tail is known as the <strong>anti-bishop.<\/strong> All field commands must be both verbally acknowledged and signaled with the hands. These field commands are as follows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Directional Commands<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Command<\/strong>: Rauschenberg<br \/>\n<strong>Abbreviation<\/strong>: &#8220;Rausch&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>Illustration<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/gallery\/albums\/FieldCommands\/rausch.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ZenphotoPress_thumb\" title=\"rausch\" src=\"\/gallery\/albums\/FieldCommands\/rausch.jpg\" alt=\"rausch\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Required Execution:<\/strong> (1) Turn right at the next possible intersection.
