    +1 - verbal communication takes the guess work out of it. The other option might be to agree on who does what at the start of your ride.

    That's why I'm afraid to ride with others. I only ride with DH and I prefer him in front. Or I'll say "you go in front" or some communication. We're usually riding single file in a bike lane. It's good to have this thought out ahead of time though.

    I don't usually ride with others, but I've a couple of friends I do ride with from time to time and we are usually riding single file with some distance between us.
