I think many commuting cyclists, club riders, and others who regularly just enjoy weekend type riding don't like to see cyclists riding on the wrong side of the road, riding on the sidewalk or riding three abreast in traffic. It gives all cyclists a bad name and it's dangerous.
Awhile back a guy riding the wrong side of the road in my town barely missed causing a serious accident. I saw the whole thing. He started screaming at one of the drivers. I said to him, "It was your fault. You were going the wrong way." He scowled at me and rode off--on the wrong side of the road, of course.
