I've heard it's legal. Any strategies that work? How do you know that the person you're behind is helping you or holding you back?

    I have wondered that myself. I have tried it a few times, and have felt that I was moving too slow, based on perceived exertion. As far as I know, that's all you've got to go on. If you feel that you are going too slow, pass that person, and try to pick up another. The guy you were drafting will probably try to get on your feet.
