Like CBHI, I'm likely a lot more comfortable with a close pass than they are and a lot more capable of dealing with a bit of contact. Also, my steel bike is readily repairable, unlike their plastic ones. Sadly, I actually enjoy the look of panic on their faces when they realize things are getting hairy.
