i agree with mr dfp.
also, i reckon it's best to ride pretty much as fast as you can (as long as traffic is moving), that way drivers have to think about overtaking you, and generally wait until it's safe, rather than just driving past without considering you as another vehicle.
when i'm riding slow with my missus, i feel significantly more vulnerable. perhaps this is one of the reasons it's hard to get new riders interested, and perhaps the reason that women are more vulnerable on their bikes than men.
