Im pretty sure I can walk up Highgate Hill faster than the 210, that bus is slooooow
To answer the question: I dont think anyone would really mind pulling someone along for a bit, but I suppose it would be polite to return the favour if you've been drafting for quite a bit. If you're going fast, in a paceline or anything, then the rider in front might be less happy about it if he thinks that your braking power isn't up to scratch on a fixed gear, and the guy behind might get irate if you go slowly on a downhill.
