This idea of staring at the wheel in front of you is incorrect. I was taught to look past the hip of the rider in front. You certainly don't stare at the wheel you are following. After some time riding pacelines or in a peloton, you develop an awareness, a kind of sixth sense of where you need to be in relation to the rest of the group. Of course, like pileups on a freeway, stuff happens. It could be a moment of inattentiveness, or an unforeseen obstacle. In the pros, it can be jockeying for position. In amateurs, nervousness and inexperience.
