So why an aggressive pace line where riders don't watch out for their own hazards? Casual group and paceline don't seem to go together at all. How many other riders passed the hazard if you were at the back and the rider in front of you were the casualties? I don't ride anyone's wheel in casual ride. I really don't even know how to, in fact the last but one shop ride had the fast group led by a chick who was teaching us paceline stuff but even then a girl was riding in her clip on aeros in the line and the slow rider meant no one was really riding hard. This chick did tell us that you point out road hazards when at all possible but it was our own responsibility to watch out, it being a casual ride and not a real paceline.
