I know that it is always the person behind who will go down if wheels tap. But what if there is a large difference in size and the wheels overlap? I ride by myself quite a bit and absolutely do not like to be drafted without being asked. I feel vulnerable enough without some guy sitting on my wheel without notice (and it does happen). I don't like riders I don't know getting close to me at all for multiple reasons. I generally feel that the smaller rider is going to take the brunt of a collision so unless you've proven to me you can ride a straight and steady line, and know proper group bike ettiquette, keep your distance.
