Jupe, I live in Minneapolis too. I have noticed HUGE problems with motorists. I get honks and angry looks even when I am in the bike lane! I will give them all the finger and sometimes with both hands. I am just waiting for one of them to stop their car and get out. Then the headline will be, "Motorist killed by biker in road rage incident" Ok, so I am a little mad. I recently had a "multiple honkage" incident though. I was in the bike lane on Summit (I think, the one with the really really nice bike lane on both sides) and this SUV honked at me as he drove past. Then I caught up to him and passed at a stop sign. He honked again! Then when he passed me again, yep! more honking! I was at such a loss, I just laughed, nobody can be that stupid. I was thinking about how my cleats would make nice scratches in his side door at the next stop sign, but figured it wouldn't be worth unclipping. Anyway, to sum it all up, MINNEAPOLIS DRIVERS ARE RUDE, DUMB, IDIOTS, who also drive bad on freeways and all other places cars go.
