I have a bike too and love the 56 miles per gallon. I agree with all you've said about a bike's safety however when there is a Hummer on your ass it doesn't matter how fast I can stop when the guy in front of me slams on the brakes I'm road kill.

I do the speed up and slow down thing when someone is riding my butt (not rudely but just a little). Eventually they usually back off a bit.
