This is a classic issue of perspective where some people just don't see cycling as a viable mode of transportation and are suspicious of some ulterior motive. For most cyclists there's is none; it just makes sense, and either way people should (obviously) be free to choose the transportation method that works for them.

I still commute to work on my bike from time to time (I'll do it all the time when I get a new bike and the weather is nice). It is dirt cheap and a good source of exercise. Because of where I live and work it is faster than transit. My choice to cycle has nothing to do with annoying drivers -- in fact I avoid heavy-traffic routes because they aren't as safe. On balance I think my bike commuting helps other drivers because it means one less car sitting on the highway.
