I probably shouldn't have said something that was funny and insulting. I'm sure that didn't actually help the situation any. We were both about a mile from a college football game, which is the same thing as a horrid traffic jam. She was probably stuck in it, and on her way somewhere. Fortunately she was already pointed the wrong way, having started to make her turn, so it didn't seem quite as threatening. And, the "I'm gonna run you over" part didn't fully sink in until I was leaving the situation.

But anyone who watched probably won't take their bike on that road. Ironically, there's a MUP half a block from where I was riding ... but I avoid the MUP, because it's not safe at 20+ mph.
