With a sun visor pulled down, the view up the highway would be obscured. Not a big deal for vehicles moving at roughly the same speed but for vehicles basically "standing still" in the roadway there would be seconds, or fractions of a second to react once the cyclists popped into view under the visor. Have you EVER driven directly into the sun? Even as far south as I live the sun is pretty low all day during the winter season. I never pull the visor down below the distant horizon but some people do. How do you KNOW what he did? He may have a light sensitivity. Many people do. If you are psychic I'm sure you'd be spending your time at the racetrack instead of this place.
