Does it matter if everyone passes you? I've noticed on rides with my 31 year old son that he doesn't really "see" things as he rides because he's focused on speed. You can miss a lot if you don't take the time to look around....he's missed baby deer and a baby horse and other things he was upset to hear he didn't notice (but he still won't slow down). I love that biking at a reasonable speed allows me to enjoy the world around me as I go. Spent too many years rushing around during my working years.....
