To let you know I know where you are, and that I am comfortable being passed, and also to indicate a safe pass - if I am in front of you, and slightly higher up, I may have better visibility on oncoming traffic than you do.

Of course if you want to go very slowly, that is fine too.

Thank you.  Although to me at times it seems like an order!  Right now, I'm talking about Rock Creek where it is pretty flat but, because of the curves you can't see anyone coming around the bend.

I have done this too, and for the same reasons.

When I do it, it's not an order but rather a "now's a good time and it may not be in another moment".  I do it only if it's clear the car is trying to pass (which is pretty much all of them), so I'm hopeful few take it as an order so much as an acknowledgment.[/quote]

That's totally cool as far as I am concerned as a driver who is quite often annoyed by cyclists.  But frankly, I just don't get it.  It just seems so stressful to ride a bike on these types of roads.  It can't be relaxing knowing you are risking your life each time you get on the saddle.  Just sayin'.[/quote]
