Cars & carts weigh a lot more than my bike & I don't want to meet any of them.

I know the rules of the road but ALWAYS allow for the possibility 1)the other guy doesn't know the rules or 2) chooses not to follow the rules. Let's be safe out there. And thank you for your patience with this annoying cyclist.
I don't always slow down when I'm cycling, nor do I expect anyone else to. What I DO expect, is that if the person behind you has taken steps already in order to pass you, that you do NOT speed up to intentionally prevent them from doing so.
