Well the little kept saying he was going knock me out or something, and with three of them their the odds were on their side. Luckily the guy in the back seat was apologizing and calling the other two stupid and just wanted to leave. The driver and I actually made peace and shook hands. (I was reluctant to fight with three of them and sizing up the situation for weapons, escape routes, who to take first if need be).

I'm pretty sure they won't mess with cyclists again and I won't be so quick to blow my top until I see how many are in the car first

Wow! Lucky they had second thoughts. Your right about watching the numbers. 3v1 is not a good situation. Especially carrying so much weight, you prolly only had about 15 seconds of fight in you. Be carfull out there. There are some nasty people always looking for a go at someone.
