There is a key phrase used by the author of the letter:
" ... all because of a bicyclist that wanted to ride down the center of the road... "
I, for one, really don't know the circumstance that prompted the letter, but if the cyclist really was riding down the "center of the road", then the motorist might have a right to complain. As all responsible cyclists should also complain.
