For the entire way under the tracks, beside the river etc she was right behind me and slightly to the left. Her front tire was maybe a foot or two away from my rear. After a kilometre of this I pulled over by the bird sanctuary to let her pass.
We were going into a 15 km/h headwind, so nothing crazy. My question, is it considered acceptable to draft so close to somebody you don't know in a recreational setting? I could see doing it in a race or something. I am still a little cautious since my crash a while back, so I wasn't comfortable.

When I was young and stupid I'd enjoy drafting buses down the hwy, I could get up to 60 on the flat.
I healed quicker in those days though.
