Bikes: 2011 Surly Cross Check

It must be spring. All the knuckleheads are in bloom!

So here's the deal. I'm biking along on the shoulder, WITH traffic, when I see, coming toward me, like a bat out of heck, a cyclist. He sees me, and immediately shifts to his left, allowing me to go around him, in traffic. I'm divided on this, but not about that cyclist being a knucklehead. I don't think I should have to scoot into traffic that I can't see, he should, simply because he can see it. But it feels counter intuitive to shift to my right, even though that is the safer move for me, and let him ride closer to the oncoming traffic.
