I think I have a cloaking device....

So being a nice day but windy I decide I'll do my outgoing bicycling trip
through the forest preserve into the wind and then take roads back with
the wind to by back.

On my way back I am riding a 4 lane arterial road. Being sunday, traffic
is light.

I going along in the right lane at ~22-25mph, 40mph speed limit. I am not
taking the lane, there are 1.5-1.75 lanes available to get around me.
Needless to say I end up with dimwits slowing to my speed behind me
because somehow, on a bright sunny day with clear sight lines and ample
chance to change lanes. I understand why people get behind me at
traffic lights, they are gambling on power-to-weight ratio and the sloth
of the drivers in the next lane, often their bet pays out. But when I am
moving between lights, the odds that I'll have a KITT like 'turbo boost'
are aproximately zero making their lack of changing lanes something I do
not understand...

Maybe it was the grey t-shirt.... Most likely just astounding stupidity.

Maybe your cloaking device is projecting an image of you into the lanes
to the left?

One of those more advanced models.... never thought of that.
