I didn't either.
Don't guess that ever happens in that group.
I read where he learned that as a kid from his dad. I didn't read about them having any of their sons or daughters along in that group so they could learn, though.
Didn't state your point specifically, but came close...

From the article:

A group is concerned with others’ well being. We point out obstacles in the road, we signal directions and we take care of each other. A rider who is struggling is sheltered from the wind and given food and drink. We wait for those who have punctured and help them repair the flat. Every cyclist has a bad day. A group will get you through the bad moments.
