Patrick, Sorry to read about your experience. I get yelled at every so often by someone who takes out their frustration on me. My favorite occurred one morning along a busy 6 lane road. I ride on the sidewalk for three blocks in a super busy stretch. As I was crossing the road in the cross walk with the walk light, a car turning right slammed on his brake and yelled at me, "Get the *#%^ out of the road, #%^^+*!" I just waved. I try not to engage drivers when they challenge me. There are too many folks in the world with a short fuse. What has worked best for me has been: to obey all stop lights and stops signs when cars are around, not to ride to the front of a line of cars at a stoplight so they have to pass me again, and to hang a few American flags on my bike. Since I have been doing these things my incidence of poor/dangerous treatment has declined. I will again state that I do not verbally engage drivers. I know others do, but I am not confrontational by nature. It has never worked for me. One thought, can you time your trips on this stretch to less busy times of day? All the best, Erl
