I've had very, very few incidents of people actively raging against me while cycling. I bet less than five or six times in my 44 years. On the other hand, it's guaranteed that I'll have some motorist cut me off, pass too close, or simply not pay attention, on nearly any ride.
Honestly, I'd almost prefer to be raged at. At least it means they noticed me. ;-)
