Sometimes you try not to appear like you are racing (since your not) just to keep good vibes. I caught up to a cyclist, stayed well back as I knew there would be a red light ahead. As we approached the red light the guy just started coasting, much much sooner and far slower than I would. I could have blown past him and rode fast into the red light as I always do when alone (to better fit in flow of traffic, to have more time at stop to drink/relax,) but instead rolled up next to him and we chatted.

I know if I'd done my normal solo routine I would have looked like a total jerk to him.
