Oh man, I've been in the biker's position. Lady didn't even get off her cell phone when she half-heartedly asked if I was okay, and didn't leave her car.
I was honked at on a three lane road. Guy kept honking as I got over so I moved to the center of the lane. I came to a dead stop, tuned and yelled as loud as I could, "Hey buddy. I have as much right to be on this road on you."
He flipped me off and said "Fuck You!" I did the same thing, adding that paid my taxes for this road too. He sped past me...to the Wal-Mart which was apparently a real important place for him to be on time. The guy in the BMW behind him just gave me this apologetic look shaking his head and holding up his hand, as if he was trying to say sorry.
I was kinda high on endorphins from the past few hours of biking and I really shouldn't have done any of that. Yelling and flipping off someone from a bike isn't ballsy..it's just stupid. That guy has some road rage and I could have died.
...But he had three lanes! No traffic! I don't see why some people get so angry at cyclists.
