Take your own advice. I see the point and understand it, but 165 shouldn't assume that people don't live in many diverse places throughout life.

Not like people in Dallas are pleasant drivers. And yes, I've encountered DART busses while avoiding potholes and jaywalkers, all simultaneously and with a few horns and middle fingers. But thanks for asking.

My point is this: I don't believe for a split second that you should not retaliate against a bad or ******* driver. But there's a ripple effect of your actions, just as there is of theirs. And the rest of us share the road with drivers that have been pissed off at cyclists long enough that they don't give a rat's ass about vehicular homicide or manslaughter when they're seeing red and running me over. (165, no it won't happen here, more than likely, but I find myself riding in metropolitan areas throughout the summer, so stuff it). Retaliate, of course. Just don't be so blissfully ignorant as to assume that you're making life easier on anyone else on a bike.

The mentality that so many of you are operating under is the exact mentality that asshat drivers operate under.

And I will forever maintain that I can piss farther than any of you.
