You realize that doesn't matter? The hypothetical cager is irritated whether you did something intentionally or not. It will happen, guaranteed. Unless you drive in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood, you will annoy cagers simply by being on the same road. You are here defending their actions and saying a bicyclist doesn't have the right to complain. So I would expect you to take your own advice, is all.
