That's why I always shout ahead to acknowledge that I see them and know that they have right of way; usually with me waving them across etc. Also, it's funny how when cars do this, which is considerably more scary, no one bats an eyelid or considers that they are going to plough through them. This is the formula I've seen used when complaining about this: "those pesky cyclists + insert(road tax/insurance/RLJ/no helmet)".

calm yerself.
i blame the parents.
