As I watched them from behind, I thought it was a chivalrous effort. But I got worried when I noticed the guy was not steady with his bike control, and it looked like he was just as tired.
As he gave one mighty push, his bike swerved and tangled with his companion's. They fell down hard.
The guy had no visible injury, but the girl had a long scrape on her leg. Good thing they had alcohol. I forgot my first aid kit so I can only briefly check on them and proceed on my way.
I tried pushing a teammate once while ascending to Antipolo, but only very briefly and with minimal effect. It was definitely not easy, and something to avoid if you're also tired, or unsteady with bike handling.
Instead of performing the push, I would prefer to just take a break.
