That's one perception, the other is that at the street corner with a red light, a cyclist and motorist can co-exist and do what they both need to do. I generally don't mind sharing in that regard as long as both parties understand and observe each others safety zones. I no more have any issue with it than I have for them passing me when the light is green. Again, the motorist can't be a ****** about it and in your case that was one stupid *****. The only way you weren't going to be at risk with that one, was to get on the sidewalk, because that one is too stupid to go around you. After looking back at her and saying what you did, I was surprised you turned back around, because those types are type A irrational road rage nut jobs behind the steering wheel of 3,000 lbs of steel and rubber. I agree with you that she was wrong, but at that point you were dealing with someone incapable of connecting the dots, you weren't going to straighten her out, the only thing that might've done that would be a traffic citation and even there some people are too broken to fix.
