Most of the time it happens to me is when I'm in a large truck. And, since we tend to be held liable for accidents we didn't even cause, I'll do whatever I can to convince the tailgater to move on.
Usually that just involves gently slowing until they pass. It's amazing how many people use truckers as a form of autopilot, hanging out right behind or flanking the truck. Makes me nervous, as it completely removes my escape route to that side... the PASSING side.
As for the post just above mine, I've frequently slow-applauded folks from my bicycle. LOVE the facial expressions.
