Pacing In Other Riders

[Herzog]

maybe not but its no fun when people are being lazy

Lazy? They're probably just knacked from sprinting to catch you

How many people see other riders that are struggling and help pace them in?

I'll do it but tbh I not good at it, Ive a habit of dropping them Other riders are better at it and I usually let them
Also I do tend to do it for riders I know will know about drafting.

People shouldn't be weak.
The struggle will make them stronger.
By letting them struggle, you are helping them.

Waaaay back in about 2004 I was at the end of a two day Polaris mountain bike trailquest in the North York moors, I was knackered and I had about three road miles left back to the finish line and not quite enough time. A gent on a shiny road bike caught up with me and we got chatting; as soon as he realised I was in danger of being hit with a time penalty he offered me a wheel and towed me back and I made it with about two minutes to spare.

To my eternal shame I was so overwhelmed at finishing after a gruelling two day event that I just peeled off into the event centre and didn't thank him, I remember seeing him glance over his shoulder at me. So if he's reading this: "Sorry for my bad manners!"

Altruism at it's best.

Ayn Rand would agree though.

I think the etiquette in this situation is to do a Purito.

Cycle past them no handed and mimic smoking a cigar! Just to show how easy it is.

Just me?

I'm probably the middle of a group of 3 for fitness with my mates, so i get my share of front work but never too embarrassed to get in behind the quicker lad either.

Correct.
Send them to the front.
