I live in an area of Brooklyn that is car dominated an cycling is looked upon as being only for the poor. While not a millionaire I am able to afford a half decent car but I decide to ride my bike anyway as I enjoy it and it has proved much more conveinient for me. The one issue I have is how cars will start honking when there is nowhere i can move to let them pass. I try to give everybody passing room but I won't ride in the door zone to do so. Motorists say something to me all the time and while I try not to get angry sometimes I just lose my temper which usually doesn't mak things any better.
