He pulls over to the side, and as I ride by he yells, "Why don't you ride where you belong, d***head!" My response was, "I am right where I belong, buddy!" and "Have a good day!" and smile and wave.

Really, you can't find room to pass a bike with a Honda Fit?

In another serious vein, what others have posted above is correct. I've been assaulted once and in another instance stalked from behind when I decided to argue with the drivers. You have to let it go, or be prepared for defending yourself from cagers who will never see it the way we do.

How rich - a Fit driver calling someone else a d***head!..... Only thing funnier would have been if he was driving a "Smart", or as I refer to them...a "Stupid"!
