....you just have to be straight up and tell him you are uncomfortable with it and for your and his safety to remain behind your and give you your space.
It happens, on the other hand, its a good feeling when u run into other riders and they imediately fallin formation! Depending on what streets i ride back home i team up with different riders, and theres some whos name i dont know but we always ride home in good formation and respect.

that is kind of a tough one. But if the guy is a decent guy, he will respect your wishes and back off.

For some reason, if its just me and a friend, we ride side by side. In a group, we ride staggered... Or, if my wife is riding with me, I ride staggered.. I just realized that...


dont forget the universal cop ahead sign.....

I never ride side by side, ever. Staggered is the way to go.

Just ask him to lead and stay behind him.
