It could be because your average track (or road) bikes are much much nicer to ride fast than slowly, so we get annoyed when our smooth and enjoyable progress is interrupted.
Which is why I usually commute on my touring conversion or my old roadster. I like seeing lots of cyclists on the road. I think it's great. My eyes hurt from all the flouro and helmets, but I'm hardly a picture of elegance, so I'll forgive that. The only road users that piss me off are those that put me at increased risk. And that old gimmer cyclist who decided to try and run me off the road because I passed him on the left (about 3 metres to his left, mind you)
