Drafting off commuters?

Wednesday after I picked up my kid from school we were on our normal route home. We were going through a roundabout when someone on their evening ride decided to pull in behind me and get a draft. No communication to me whatsoever. I wasn’t super bothered by it, but it did throw my son for a loop wondering why some guy was right on his hip. He got lucky that I am experienced with group riding dynamics, but that could easily have gone sideways given that we were in an unprotected shared pedestrian/bike lane on a 40 mph road with a fair amount of both pedestrian and car traffic.

Does this happen to anybody else who commutes on an e-bike or other cargo bike? How do you all handle this?
