I have noted in the couple of rides I have done this that cars are more prone to slow down behind me and wait to pass rather than trying to squeeze by (as was mentioned I believe). Even the route that prompted me to start the thread was much less stressful, along with the alternate route to/from my neighborhood.

Thanks for the tip
