You're doing the right thing. Once bikers see more people doing this, they'll get less nervous. I don't know how far you are hanging back - I guess I could suggest you hang back a few feet more and see if that helps.
It could be they wonder what you're doing. I assume you are signaling, but in case you aren't, go ahead and do that - I love it when people use their turn signals, even when they're behind me I can see them and it helps me understand what's going on.

Frequently I need to make a right turn, and there is a bike in front of me going slowly (up the Mifflin hill) or just slow, and I don't want to go around the bike and then turn in front of them . . . and if I go slowly behind them that seems to make them nervous . . . is there something I should do to let them know its ok to just be slow and I"m patient? It certainly isn't right to go around them and then turn, crossing their path . . . Suggestions? Maybe there aren't any and I should just do what I do, its just happened a few times in the last few days and feels awkward.
