Your glanceto the left was a good idea. if you saw the guy when you looked left could you have signalled to let him know you were slowing and changing lanes?
It may have been less risky to have remained in the main traffic stream (and slowed the driver behind you down for a while) till there was a clear space for you to move into the slower cyclist stream
