So light turns red, I quickly jump off my bike and run to the opposite sidewalk and proceed to walk my bike along the sidewalk. Of course, next time the light turned green he drove past, shouting something incomprehensible (and some other drivers did as well.)

I waited until he was long gone to hop back out in the street.

I'm normally not this way. I follow traffic laws and I'm courteous. But after having stuff shouted at me, thrown at me, and lectured on stuff that *I* am sure I'm right about finally caused me to blow a fuse.
I feel bad for the next cyclist they run into (or over). Good job, and how old are you?
