Funny I don't remember ever being disrespected while riding a bike as a kid or teenager. My wife and I had just completed a ride on bike path and had returned to the car when a car full of rednecks shouted obscenities at us for no reason. I was at the LBS and was telling the owner my story and he proceeded to tell me how many times he's had stuff thrown at him out of car windows and people yelling at him or honking horns. I guess you can't ever get away from rednecks. I have had this happen while walking back to the car after paddling local creeks, that was in PA. The rednecks can't resist when they see a guy in a spray skirt. I really didn't think this would happen with bicycles? Says a lot about society, doesn't it.
