this thread is about angry motorists' reactions to cycling on unacommodated roadways. NOT mr head's hyperbole about facilities.

rarely have I been harassed by motorists while riding in a bike lane; almost ALL the road rage I encounter is while "taking the lane".

Like Diane asks in the OP, is taking the brunt of road rage while riding in a vehicular style "VC"? should vehicular cyclists accept ragin' cagers angry at bicyclists taking the lane? Can a community do better for its cyclists? I know, have seen the proof , that communities can plan for bikes in the transportation mix to minimize (not totally eliminate) motorist/cyclist conflicts.

Even the die-hard VC see the value in wide lanes and other accomodations for bicyclists.
