I was on my way to work today, as a matter of fact, I was about a block from work, going through a construction site. Some dirt bag started blowing his horn and yelling at me in a brand new car. I slowed up to almost a crawl and I knew he couldn't get around me and that he saw the police man about a block back. I made him wait for me to make my turn, taking up the whole lane. After I pulled into the parking deck, I yelled to him, "That's what you get and you wouldn't say that to my face!" It probably cost him 10 extra minutes for being rude and I still got to work early. Sometimes, you have to teach people a lesson the hard way.

"never when they're behind you"

Bah, you're believing their propaganda about being bigger and stronger. The paperwork's enoguh to stop nerks mowing you down. Good work, spider.

that works great unless you encounter the motorist who will teach you "a lesson the hard way", until your next stupid stunt you'll be the hero.

Nice job. He got what he deserved.

I tend to wait until there is no opportunity to pass me, then turn, give them a look straight in the eye, stop and turn my bike sideways, slowly dismount and survey my bike for possible malfunction and proceed to check if my chain is at the right tension and each of the bolts are tightened appropriately. Sometimes it takes a good three, four and even five minutes....or just long enough until the opposing traffic has a break and then I proceed in the middle of the lane with a smile on my face and an innocent whistle on my lips.

Are you serious? I wish I had the balls to do that. You, sir (or madam) are my new hero.

I just give honkers the "I am unimpressed" look and go about my business.

I dunno about being a hero, but I like to make my point in a dramatic or theatrical way. Keeps the experience memorable for all parties involved.
