If I were the rider going 10mph, I would stop and let the other cyclist pass. I wouldn't assume that he's going to observe any form of courtesy by slowing down . . . Take action yourself to prevent a wreck. That's my take.
That is my take on the situation I may roll up behind the pedestrian and shield it from the 20 mph rider
