First of all, use a MIRROR. I ride roads where there are no shoulders--- and swear by one.
I have found road rage to NOT be taken seriously at all when reported by a cyclist and where there were no injuries. I was repeatedly harrassed by the same motorist on my commute (same route, same time, same location) and ended up posting his plates on craigslist to get has address. I never had trouble after I knew his name, where he lived, etc.... cops would not do anything.
you've been on this forum since 2004... how can you not know the answer?
seriously, file a report with police, road rage is taken pretty seriously.

I'm looking into who to notify about it now. I'm not sure which police department has jurisdiction there, as it may be outside of the Austin city limit. Clearly not a 911 matter at this point.
