LOL, yep, I don't mind pulling but if they ask me to go get them some water I have my limits.

I have never understood why people have a problem pulling strangers. It is actually pretty hard to take out someone's rear wheel with your front. Usually the guy drafting goes down and the one up front just gets a startling experience. And even that is in the rare chance of an adverse event.

In fact, I often make a "follow me" sign when I pass guys I think are capable of benefitting from my draft". No skin off my back.
