Chris, I agree that "until" is probably a bit vacabulary-challenging for that mentality; better substitute "till." That's one less syllable to cope with.

JRamsey isn't alone in (greater) Kansas City in experiencing recent harassment--I was peacefully pedaling north from Crown Center on Grand Blvd. on Saturday after viewing the high-school art exhibits there, when a shiny (for a change) blue pickup truck that had been about four car lengths behind me passed, the driver and sole occupant shouting something evidently not very nice at me, his face contorted with rage. He illegally passed the car in front of him, on the right, swerving and nearly hitting it, and continued north on Grand at a pretty good clip.

I guess just the mere sight of a cyclist, without any interaction, is enough to push the buttons of some poor emotionally diseased motorists.
