As for the yellers and particularly the woman with the Dodge, some people just like to show how stupid they are. They have another same direction lane in which to pass.
Any suggestions on what to do about the people that ride in the gutter? I think these are actually worse than the people that ride on the sidewalk (illegally...there's a municipal code making it illegal to ride on the sidewalk in a business or residential area within city limits). The cyclists in the gutter make the motorists think it's ok to pass a bicycle in the right lane while sharing the lane with them.

Is there anything that can be done to discourage people from riding in the gutter?
