One of them was clearly on the wrong side of the road!

Next time we are headed somewhere, should we drive like the rest of the polluting public and join the mess on the freeways? We were clearly within our rights as defined by the CA vehicle code, but this knuckle dragger did not want to hassle with taking care around bicycles.
