Yes, as you forgot to shout "So long loser!" as you go by
I wouldn't feel bad about it, I'd have shouted back that the guy needs to maintain speed, rather than yo-yo'ing.
There is a guy on my commute that will try very hard to chase me down and pass. He can only catch me when there is a downhill or tail wind, and he comes past in 50x12 when I'm spinning 46-16. Put a 'lump' in the road and he goes backwards. I've tried to have a chat with him at lights, but he's got his ipod on so loud he can't hear me, nor does he bother to chat.
Whilst the road bike is fun, I do love taking the 'slow' hybrid on the commute. Has a flat bar, toe straps, fatter-than-road-bike tyres and due to my exercise class that morning/later in the evening, I'm often in running shoes and normal shorts. When I pass a kitted-out roadie I know they're going to be rather vexed... as I'd be in a similar scenario. Can't help grinning.
If people get annoyed when someone passes, they should learn to cycle faster I can take a good scalp, in fact I metaphorically dip my hat if dropped impressively.
