Road rage

To respond to Tom Bs question of growing road rage within the cycling community.
Tom,U may be on the mark!
Especially with the elite riders on some clubs (or shop clubs) there seems to be an intolerance form anything on the road save themselves.
I witnessed cycling road rage with a really bad end.
Going up River Road in North Tonawanda NY several bicyclists chose to get into it with several members of a notorious motorcycle organization.
The warning "Be Carefull What You Ask For" immediately came to mind.

With rising gas prices putting many 'ill tempered' motorists on bicycles, it's isn't hard to see where some of the reverse road rage comes from.
