I've tried a few family-style group rides where the "slowest rider sets the pace." After three or four rides the majority start running stop signs en masse, insisting that I follow suit and getting angry when I don't (saved my neck more than once by ignoring them). They refuse to let me ride at my own pace even though I make it clear that I'm self-sustaining, they can drop me and not look back, I don't care. I don't want to draft, I don't want to be drafted, and if talking is in order it'll happen when we can ride side-by-side. I don't want to be lectured about my choice of bike, accessories, or clothing. When I ride alone the only pressure is self-imposed, if there's any at all.
