Ha! Yes he was a little like that. His attitude was very much of the "you're trying to tell ME how to ride??" variety. I tried to explain politely about courteous riding but it was lost on him.
Maybe I should have one of those "Cyclists! Beware of passing this vehicle on the inside" stickers on my rear mudguard.
Anyway, thanks for the reassurance all. As you were.

I'm going to guess he was a wannabe club rider who expected something like this.

You aren't in his club riding all out speed fantasy but just trying to get somewhere. While commuting the only 3 signals you should need ever are to signal a left turn, to signal a right turn and to signal to a car/behind to slow down(the kind flapping arm pushing down), I add that one as it just makes riding more pleasant when you approach something odd and the driver behind understands rather than trying to pass you and then suddenly slamming brakes on when they reach whatever you had been slowing for. Beyond that your a cunt riding too near to other riders.
