What kind of food do you plan on serving? Just curious.

Today I ran into what I considered to be my first real road rage incident. I was riding at a pretty decent pace and then notice there was a Blazer with its bumper like a foot from my back tire. I swerve left and just start yelling **** like "why are you so close to me" etc. He swerves over and the tail end of his SUV smoked my bars going at least 20-25mph. I got really squirrely and somehow kept it together. Then I saw him stopped at a light. I roll up to him and apologized about yelling, and then explained very calmly that he could've killed me. He starts apologizing, saying he was having a ****ty day of work and other things. Shook hands and I was on my way.

Sure, I could've rolled up and busted his window with a ulock or pulled him out and beat the poor dude to death, but I didn't. I figured next time he rolls up to a cyclist he might cool his jets a little, which would be best for all of us.
