I just wanted to add something to this thread that I forgot to earlier. After all the road rage incidents that I'd been involved in, the thought occured to me that the only common element in all these events was me. That I was also the only element that I could control.

Someone earlier mentioned about being Zen whilst on the bike. I find I get into that headspace way more on the bike than I used to. Also, these sorts of thing don't only happen on bikes. These kinda things also happen when I'm out on my motorcycle as well.

People aren't thinking about thoses of us out on two wheels because most of them haven't tried riding a bike in traffic or haven't been on a bike in so long that we just don't register. Personally, I think it would be great if there was some kind of graduated licensing wherein people had to ride bicycles on the road first and then after a set period of time, they could move up to cars. I know it would never happen, but it's a nice thought.
