Nice little story. Someday I hope to have such luck with the right witnesses.

I do have harrassment and witness story though: Last week at 6:30pm a friend and I were cycling about within a bike lane on a multilane 45mph road - it was toward the end of rush hour flowing counter flow, so traffic was fairly light. A JAM passed us and honked and shouted at us to get 'our gay asses off the road.' He then slowed to our speed but kept one car length ahead. The guy I was with told him to f off and then pulled out his cell and loudly called out the plate numbers. We were adjacent at this point - the driver going off like an idiot. Anyway, he sped off and we continued. A moment later a guy in a car who had witnessed had pullled ahead and to the side of street and as we passed asked if they guy was harrassing us, I said 'Yes' My friend said 'Don't worry we took care of it' Moments later another driver pullled up next to us and asked if that guy (the original one) was giving us a problem. We said no. About a mile later a police car passed us with lights on. I doubt it was related (after all they would have asked us and also response wouldn't be this quick), but it was fun to imagine one of the two kind drivers had called them.

It was really nice to know that two random drivers noted the minor harrassment we had and took the initiative to see what was up.
