You shouldnt feel like this. Might I humbly suggest that the problem is in your head rather than anything your partner is doing. Ride for yourself if he finds you're going to slow and he can I'm sure he'll pass you when its safe to do so. Has he actually said that your riding is to slow ? If not then I really wouldnt worry about it.

I think maybe you are being a little harsh. You're right you should just be concentrating on your own riding and not worrying about what the bike behind or in front of you is doing.

When you say ridiculous moments what do you mean. If he / she is in front his or her visability of what is round the corner or a hazard in the road is likely to be better than yours is. Just because you can't see it doesnt mean theres not something in your way that you need to brake for to avoid.

As E.d. says different bikes have different characteristics. So you have to bear that in mind as well.
