I see this a lot in NYC (mostly on the Manhattan Bridge path and West Side Greenway): cyclists going into the opposite lane to overtake slower riders, without waiting to make sure that it's safe to pass.

This exact thing happened to me going north on the greenway. Oncoming cyclist was on my side and luckily I was able to dive hard left. He t-boned me, breaking the new Hakka frame, a good cut on my hand and a big bruise on my quad. Thanked God there was no head injuries. The other guy spoke no english and I felt I had no recourse so after regaining some calm, I rode the busted bike back home to jersey.
