I miss this kind of stuff. In the 80s and 90s my day was not complete without a bit of honking and swearing. Now I can split through lines of motionless MLRs (motorized living rooms) at 25, skid to a stop in front of the line, track stand with no hands and the effing motorists have the nerve to roll down their windows and say nice things about my bike or skilZ.
Feh. |

The whole list. :) |
To the men that honk and curse, I give them the thumbs up.
To the women, I blow a kiss. |

It happens. If you log enough miles, occasionally you'll encounter the illogical profanity yeller.
If you like your route and everything else is going fine, disregard the jerk and keep pedaling. To do otherwise would grant her her wish. You are taking the right approach too in avoiding road rage on the bicycle. Anger rarely results in a better outcome when riding. Keep your wits so you can continue riding safely. Analyze it later if you need to, and file it in the circular file unless you think there was something you were doing wrong. The less time time that you linger on these encounters the quicker you get over them. After all, you just want to enjoy your ride and be safe right? Nothing you can do to change what happened, but you can change how you percieve these incidents. That is not to say you should ignor danger or signiicant threats. That's a different ballgame. |
she definitely likes you. that's what my wife and girlfriends call me. when you see her again blow her a kiss

Put in this context: If you rode the bus, and someone going by screamed the A bomb at you, would you not ride the bus anymore? What if you were driving a car, and someone yelled at you? Take advice from the penguins... smile and wave boys, just smile and wave.

If I found myself on a bus, I would immediately do everything in my power to stop riding a bus. Busses are depressing. Never had a good bus-riding experience.
