as far as locally here there is an unspoken rule that if a bike is parked to one side or another of a spot then it lets other riders know that it’s ok to share the spot. However if they are nearer to dead center… move on. Best thing to do is find some local riding club websites and forums to get a good idea of local attitudes. As far as highways or roadways… if I see a rider coming up I will slide to the left side of the lane to show it’s ok for him/her to piggy back. As far as tailgaters…. if the break flashes don’t work I just do a slalom run in my lane…usually grabs their attention and throws them off.
