Granted, things may be different for you since you are from Central Kentucky, but here in Western Kentucky, we have an over abundance of #$@ holes and rednecks...not shriners. Take tonight for example, I am in a left turning lane with a green light (just a green light, no arrow), yielding for all 6 cars to go through the green light so I may take my turn, and the last car had its window down and the guy starts cussing at me for no reason. I just turn my mp3 player up a bit louder and continue on. Next, I approach the crest of a steep hill (cannot even see if anybody is coming in the oppossite lane, and someone buzzes me. No big deal if I wasn't taking the whole lane, but yes, for safety, I positioned myself where it was safest in that situation, in the middle (Owensboro Kentucky doesn't seem to believe bike lanes are important). The guy passes me, crossing the center line with a car coming straight at him. By the time he realizes this, he swerves over towards me. I of course react and manage to catch him flipping me the bird as he guns his truck and speed off.
What is wrong with people?
