OYR that's a super retarded experience.

I've had cars suddenly pull over in front of me pushing me toward curbs, people just turning right all of a sudden while I'm right beside them, I've had someone almost clip my rear wheel then threatened the shit out of me saying how I shouldn't even be on the road..

I'm not a big guy at all, so most of the time I try to just talk to them calmly to inform them that bikes are vehicles too (let's face it, most drivers don't even know that bikes are supposed to be on the road..) and if there's a bike lane, I ask them to double check in the future and whatnot.

definitely in the past I've had screaming arguments and kicking of cars and whatnot, but it's not worth it.. you don't know the person, you don't know what they're like, they might snap all of a sudden and try to run you down.. it's just not worth it, I think.


glad you're okay though dikman.
