yeah I know it, but that doesn't mean it still doesn't bother me. it's annoying to hear them shifting to lower and lower gear, closer and closer behind me and then watching them pass me angrily and agressively. i'm not slower on purpose and i've got as much right to the road as they do.

sometimes it's actually funny. a few days ago a cyclist caught up with me up a hill. I didn't turn but I could hear him. he actually had a few opportunities to pass me with no cars around but he didn't. I had to stop at a red traffic light. He stopped behind me and so I told him to go ahead and start first as soon as it turns green. Then he looked me straight in the eye and gave me this look of absolute and utter disbelief "you think!?" and shook his head. all I could do was smile when he wasn't watching
