I find it safest to just ease up on the gas when someone wants to pass.
Exactly the same, although mine only goes 20.8 downhill with a tailwind. I have no idea why some people get their undies in a bunch because somebody passes them. Same happens on a highway. My guess is that it is a form of primitive territoriality, but I'm not a psychiatrist. They'll scream all day that they are only interested in safety, or that they are pointing out the law, but in reality, they just don't like getting passed!
