This happened six times before my co-worker got frustrated just followed behind him at 15mph until the bicyclist turned off. At this point, the bicyclist was visibly agitated by my co-worker not passing.

He expressed frustration at cyclists who run red lights and he felt that the cyclist shouldn't have continually re-passed him on the right.

I wasn't sure how to respond. My regular commuting route has wide shoulders allowing cars to pass me without moving into the other lane.

Thoughts?
Your co worker obeyed the law at all times. The cyclist regularly broke it.

Cyclists complain when drivers pass them instead of waiting. Then when a driver decides to wait the cyclist seems upset.

Drivers just can't win.
