When cycling alone, what is the etiquette when approaching and closing down a fellow cyclist. Are you expected to:
a) Sit in behind and not got past until you/them turn off
b) Cycle alongside doff the helmet, then accelerate away
c) Get up to full speed and fly past without even an acknowledgement?
The reason I ask is, I was out last night and pretty sure someone loomed up behind me (saw their shadow), they didn't go past though. Obviously I sped up but they never came past (I didn't keep looking over my shoulder), they eventually turned off without overtaking.
Only ever been overtaken once all the time I have been out, although I do cycle when the roads are quiet, I'd like to keep that record intact
