I really like your idea about asking a car to follow behind you for that section of the road. That seems like the safest possible way to go. I bet you could end up making a friend from this eventually. I think you're smart enough to do something nice for a driver if they start doing it more than once. Maybe a coffee handed through the window or something along those lines. Even if someone declines to take a coffee or a donut, they will like that you mentioned it. Co-operation with drivers, is almost unheard of around here. Just think about how it might work out if you find a cyclist that is driving to work at the same time every day!!

I have never read about, or heard about, this idea before anywhere. And most of what I read, listen to, and talk about, is bike related.

I have offered to do this for cyclists when I am drivng, but never thought of asking for this. Some of the cyclists don't understand my offer. But a couple have.

A couple of my friends draft my car once in a while.
