It's especially dangerous when you're cycling on the right side of the road and come across cyclist going the wrong way.

Had this happen to me recently on a 55mph highway with no shoulder. The other cyclists didn't even take it upon themselves to move, they just headed right toward me.

Only of a 50 km/h (not mile) road, but I had another cyclist do this in the dark, weaving in and out of park cars, wearing dark clothing, without lights, in an area with minimal street lights, do this to me.

It was one of the closest calls I've had. I'm pretty sure I would have run into him head on if I hadn't had a bright front light.
