Default How do you deal with wrong-way (direction wise) bicyclists?

So there you are riding along the road minding your own business and enjoying your ride when some idiot on a bicycle riding the wrong way in your lane approaches. What do you do? Do you stop and let the idiot by? Do you cut to your right so the idiot has to go around you? Do you just hold your line and run the idiot down if they don't get out of your way?

Wrong direction riding bicyclists can be very disconcerting, even hazardous, to other bicyclists and moreso at night when they don't have either lights or reflectors as required by law. What's your favourite way of dealing with them?

Cheers


You don't call him an idiot. You pull out and take a lane and pass them. Lead by example rather than speech.
