This was actually the topic of my first post to this forum. Interesting how it resurfaces from time to time.
Since then, I’ve gotten used to it during daylight hours, but it still freaks me out at night when I can’t look over my shoulder and see who’s behind me. The overlapping wheels is bad; I’ve had that from time to time but I usually try to get away from that rider the best way feasible (either slowing or speeding up).

Thanks all for the feedback.
This post sums up where I am. Happy to pull someone along, but ask first or chat me up along the way – but larger point about last night you state perfectly: “freaks me out a night” when very limited visibility makes it hard to see who is there, cannot judge how fast they are coming, have no idea where exactly they are in relation to me, unclear if they are they passing or drafting – and was only alerted to their presence as I was looking out for him closing in somewhere back and was only alerted by his heavy breathing right on top of me! And then to grumble like I’m not a team player when I was so much more polite than the situation called for = chutzpah.
Anyway, an outlier example as most all of the nightly trail users are great to each other….and it still beats crawling out of the city a midst the angry horns encased in my car.
