[MENTION=104720]alan s[/MENTION], the response to a car approaching from behind varies on conditions. It is not a given that I should move over for him. In fact, as [MENTION=190364]lostarchitect[/MENTION] says, it was probably best to block him entirely.
There are probably 10 different responses you could have chosen from with a car approaching from the rear. Do what you feel is safest in each circumstance. No one is faulting you for riding your bike on the street. Just cautioning you that earbuds are known to reduce your ability to hear and focus on your surroundings. Glad you weren’t hurt.
