The double pace line, sometimes known a through-and-off is common place throughout cycling.

Simon Richardson, Daniel Lloyd and Tiffany Cromwell show you how to use a double pace line as efficiently as possible, with pro tips on improving group aerodynamics, and even what you can do when you need to take a break from working in the group!
