Taking the biscuit

- SE London, Bandit Country
Forgive me, but this has been bugging me all day.
A splendid morning, beautiful weather, Miss T dropped off at school and I am in full flight on the back streets of Crofton Park when I meet a short line of commuting cyclists coming the other way.
'TURN THOSE LIGHTS OFF! YOU DON'T NEED THEM ON!
The lead cyclist is angrily shouting and pointing at my bike.
For those who don't know, I ride with my lights on day & night.
It's a throwback from my motorcycling days.
My front lights are Ay-Up lamps angled down low, so as not to blind other road users and I can vouch from experience that, even in the day they make motorists double check before pulling out and I am visible in offside wing mirrors too.
Once in a while I get a polite, 'do you know your lights are on?' from overtaking cyclists but what was with the guy this morning?
