I'm like and old horse in the traces when I get behind another wheel... its just a reflex to draft and I gage their experience by their reaction... if its "Oi get off! Do your own work! I've got a long way to go!". then we know they are complete idiots/jerks. If its a quick glance behind and no reaction then we know they have experience and could care less what you are doing.
Buses, trucks, cars all are fair game - engine sounds, looking under the rear axle for pot holes, staying to one side with the head tilted to see around all make for 35 years of fun with out any mishaps - so far!
Good post, stay safe, keep the rubber down.
