Since starting riding in February, i have lost my temper twice where I went full on crazy.

First time was on a three lane road, if you get the timing right on the lights, you can beat all the cars over the bridge and get in the left hand lane. I was there. Some fat moose shouted across all the lanes to me to get off the road. I was amazed. I am very careful not to "get in the way". I responded in a similar way and told her to get off her posterior more often and she wouldn't have that weight problem.

The second was when, after effectively being nudged / forced off the road, at the stop sign I didn't completely stop. I wanted out the way of the crazy man in the car. As he went past me he then criticized my lack of a stop, so I then started explaining that you can't force people off the road. All at 17mph...

Of course my English accent in North Texas may also confuse them somewhat.

I am now chill. I don't like getting mad. It spoils the ride.
