It's just a really wrong, stupid thing to do.

Agree. Sounds like this guy was just playing games, but on a bicycle it could be lose-lose scenario.
But it's not just cyclists. Ever come up on a cart going 12 mph in the cart lane....until you pull out on the main road to pass and he speeds up to 22. You drop back behind him and he slows back down to 12?
Ever come up on some yahoo doing 35 in a 55 zone on a 2 lane road, pull out in the opposite lane when it's safe to pass and he speeds up to 70, again, only to slow back down to 35 when you fall back behind him.
Some drivers, regardless of their vehicle, are _____(you fill in the blank)
I guess they have the same philosophy as the guy who posted "if you pass someone reading a label in a one way aisle at Publix, you're cutting the line" (But I've never seen anyone reading a label drop the box on the ground, grab their cart and run down the aisle so you can't pass)
