Probably one of the worst things I encounter while bicycling are these
people who refuse to pass. They'll stay right behind me, tailgating me so
should anything happen, I need to brake, hit a bad pot hole and fall,
whatever I am sure to be hit. They just won't pass no matter how much
encouragement I give them.A line of vehicles builds up behind them for
no good reason, when I finally get the timid driver to pass there is
usually at least one arsehole in the line that then blames me for the
delay. Um.. sorry, but the guy passed up 12 chances to pass, not my
fault.

Coming to a dead stop at the side of the road usually is even worse, as I
have to do it very gradually as not to get hit and then the timid driver
will also stop, blocking the road.

<spit take> Yes, yes, that all sounds perfectly plausible in the
alternate universe in which you reside.

Just one point. Since you're the same guy who is so fast on a bike he
often passes and leaves behind motorized traffic howcomewhyfor don't
you just accelerate away...?!

Please, make up your mind as to which of your stories I am to believe.
They are often in direct conflict with one another and any believeable
example of human abilities and/or behaviors.

seriously, doesn't it get old being the slightly more literate version
