[BThere are motorists who get peeved at cyclists for following the rules of the road. When the motorist wants you off of the road, they may yell at you to ride on the sidewalk or on the other side of the road (against traffic).
It's not too often that I get profanities yelled at me by motorists, but these profanities invariably are shouted when I am riding in a manner that is completely legal.

That's true. As I've said before, I follow the road rules purely for my own safety. I couldn't care less whether others like me or not. In fact, I hope they don't like me. A friend of mine once suggested that 90% of the population has the IQ roughly equivalent to that of a carrot. Therefore: If I'm unpopular, I must be doing something right!
Disclaimer: I meant no offence to carrots with the above comment.
