So the road flattens out and I go through some gears until I get to 20mph which felt pretty comfortable at a cadence between 95 to 100, which is also what I ride at. Well anyway I check my mirror and he is right behind me, but doesn't pass. He just hung there for a 1/2 mile to the next light where I went straight and he turned. I guess what I'm getting at is, am I going slow or did he sprint to draft. I'm used to getting passed from riding my mountain bike but I figured that would lessen with a road bike.
When your turn is close sometimes it's easier to just hang back from another rider rather than overtake.. just from my personal experiences for what it's worth, and I don't draft strangers.
