Although I do have to admit it is quite ironic that I was honked at in both Road I and Road II... the latter situation which you admit to ignoring.
I never said it never happens. I let you know about the rare exceptions, by email if not by a thread in this forum.
And it's not like I only ride the same route at the same time. Again, today I rode close to noon - totally different drivers out there, yet no harassment.
As to the Road 2 incident, I will merely suggest that maybe you or the other student didn't actually pull off looking like you're supposed to be there in the middle of the left lane of the 6 lane arterial, perhaps because one or both of you didn't really believe it, inwardly.
