Fair enough. I think the one time commenting probably should have done it. And yes, BCarfree, over a year with nothing like this happening. In fact, I even had a letter in the paper recently talking about how, for the most part, drivers are far more accepting of cyclists around here than most people expect. Certainly more than I expected. Part of my response is that this was the second time in a week with the same behavior. I do admit that there was a bit of the Glen Close, "I will NOT be ignored!!" energy going on, but if no one responds, it just continues. The question is what?
I am thinking about strapping an unused bike light on my helmet with electrical tape and composing a professional looking sign to hang on the back of my seat (I ride a recumbent, so this is feasible) stating, "Warning, your driving is being videotaped" or some such and see what happens next. I probably need to put up an old actual camera looking thing though to complete the illusion.
