It's no secret that some motorists despise cyclists. Before I go too far with this, some cyclist do no favors for the rest of us. & some motorists are very courteous & some have never been on a bike, in traffic. As both a cyclist & a driver I have seen cyclists who are complete Aholes. Plenty of them. I've also been buzzed many, many times by Agro motorists who are just as big of an Ahole as that cyclist. I've had stuff thrown at me & I've been nearly run off the road. We do ourselves no favors, being Aholes on either side of the equation. The whole situation easily culminates into a perfect storm. Best case scenario, Distracted driver, even poor driver vs the cyclist with marginal skills= near accident, all too often. Throw in some attitude & some gets hurt. Unfortunately, unless its a fist fight, the cyclist will lose almost every time. It's dangerous out there. I've always tried to take the stance that "I'm" going to get hurt. Therefore "I" should do the best "I" can to keep myself from danger. & before you call me out as a "Sam safety" kinda guy... I have chased cars down with the intent to beat the living hell out of the driver(or at least scare them to death). As with most bullies, the Ahole usually cowars writhin the safety of their vehicle. Be safe & be considerate. Actions speak louder than words.
