Question:

Is it normal, acceptable or even safe to ride one's bike in the middle of a lane?

Background:
Today, some twat on a bike decided to swerve in front of my car and had the nerve to cuss me out when I barely managed to not paint the asphalt with his brain matter.

Of course my reactionary side came out and I called him all manner of terrible names I swore to myself I'd never use. I know I called him a retard (horrible), a cocksucker (even worse), and gunned my engine at him and begged him to go back into the middle of the lane (as evil as this particular act was, I'm laughing that I actually did that).
Anyway, I need to be able to semi-justify these things in my mind, so I need to know if I was in the wrong to expect this cycling doofus to stay on the right-hand side of the lane, or if he was well within his rights to venture into the middle of the lane.

Mostly I want to know if I have license to flip this fucker off and throw things at him if I ever cross his path again, or just drive by and hope he doesn't see me.

people suck
