Some cyclists are dickheads

A cyclist tried to play chicken with me, who was in a car, I kid you not! This is the sort of cyclist that gives the rest of us a bad name, here's how it played out. in a 40mph limit I am behind a van doing ~25-30mph obviously looking for an address or something, I see that in the distance on the other side of the road there is a cyclist but that is all for what looks like miles. I move out around the van approaching 40mph at which point I notice the cyclist is now moving towards the centre of the road, bit odd since he hasn't signaled that he's turning right any way I complete the overtake and move back over to the left and on the road in front of me the cyclist is shouting and pointing at his head like I did something wrong! I ride my bike a lot and I think it's because of arrogant pricks like this that some motorists cut me up, it's a sort of do before it's done to you response because they expect EVERY cyclist to do something crazy. What an arsehole!!
