I ride on narrow two lane twisty mountain roads with no bike lane or even shoulder and very poor sight lines. I have very few encounters with angry motorists, just the occasional guy who must ZOOM past in his pickup truck when the opportunity to pass presents itself. Those roads scare me less than when I'm on highway 1 with a wide bike lane as traffic flies past me at 60+ MPH....I worry more about the inattentive driver taking me out.

As for the anger, I can still go there, but most of the time this 60+er can dial it back, just shake my head and move on.
