Had some fella on 'baby's-first-cycle-commute' trying to draft me all the way from Peckham to Elephant and Castle this morning, which I really dislike because the surrey canal path is rammed with peds all over the place and the Lycra heroes doing dodgy overtakes trying to break the land speed record. At some lights I politely told him to back off, that what he was doing is drafting and that we aren't on a race course/ it's dangerous etc. His chipper reply was "yes I know I'm drafting, I'm saving energy on my commute". When the lights turned green I just waited for him to reluctantly pass me so I could go on my own way, as he passed he looked REALLY pissed off smh.
