I've only just started reading this thread and maybe someone else will
mention it but:  If another's riding behavior is scaring you, why not tell
him?  When I see a rider behind me crossing the line in order to keep up,
I'll often pull over and mention it to him.  Ask him what he'd do if a car
was coming the other way.  Find out if he knows what it would take to stay
in his own lane.  He stands to become a better rider from this.

The alternative kind of sucks; slowing way down for the rest of the ride
and the other guy not getting any better.
