First ride outside since my wreck last week. Ribs are still a little sore, and it hurts to accelerate hard... so I don't. Problem fixed!

It was around 36F/2C this morning, with light winds. Really nice ride with the exception of one a$$hole honking at an intersection. It's a fairly large intersection, but at this time of the morning it's nearly empty. In fact, I was the only person stopped at the stoplight before this guy pulls up directly behind me. As the light turns green, I start to accelerate and he lays on his horn and then passes me too close... even though this is a four lane road and he had an entire lane and no other cars around. After he passes, I notice he goes up a block and turns right... so I decide to follow. He pulled into a strip mall and drove up to Golds Gym. So I pull up right next to him as he's parking and ask him, in a fairly stern voice, "What is your problem"? He just looks at me, refuses to roll down his window and then makes some dismissive gesture and proceeds to park. I wait until he parks, but he refuses to get out of his car. What a tool! He's wasn't nearly as tough once the situation became personal.
