Had a tailgater almost the entire way this morning on my current slightly less direct route (I'm avoiding a four way control that's set up right now). There was never any safe spot to overtake with parked cars on either side so I guess I'm glad they didn't try to force their way through but having them revving away right on my wheel and not getting the message when I kept looking back at them was aggravating. Thought the backstreets would be a bit more chill but I guess if I'm avoiding roadworks there will be rat runners in cars doing the same thing.
I've got a few backstreets routes, rush hour rides always end like this though with cars desperate to pass on roads that are narrow due to loads of parked cars. I just end up sticking with the main roads and bus lanes.
