I think anything that "humanizes" you helps. There have been a number of observations ( not sure they are actual "studies") that one of the contributing elements to driver-on-driver hostility is the anonymity of the interaction. As a cyclist, anything that undermines a driver from anonymizing you by wrapping you in a convenient stereotype will encourage them to treat you like a person. Helps a lot if the cyclist isn't acting like a jerk, too!
