To be honest, at the rate you corner you'll be puree regardless of more robust bike wear.

Trees, armaco, stonewalls, cars and such only exists if you hit them.

I must admit that it has happened to me once... my bike was breaking down at the time

Oh whatever - if I see a biker close up behind and he obviously wants to pass, I pull across to let him go - he might be in a rush or late or just faster than me. If I'm feeling bad and don't want him to get past me for some reason, I'll hog the road but most times I let him go. If he's a real nutter, he won't be doing it for much longer !
