I have many times more cars almost hitting me on my bicycle than I do on my motorcycle. I ride my bicycle 4k miles a year and have confronted drivers that I can catch up to at stops. It's not a good idea, but when they do it intentionally, it really pisses you off. I've been getting better about it lately and just sticking with the one finger salute. I even had a guy on a motorcycle, just the other day, pass me in the right hand track of the lane! If he would have grazed me, we would have both gone down.

Yes, a lady almost hit me and my son while she was jacking her jaw on her cell phone, we stopped at the red light and I got off and went back and made her hang up her phone, a police officer witnessed all of this and when I noticed him he just smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

I have stopped and told people in no uncertain terms, using extremely colorful language and sufficient volume to ensure I was heard, how many surgeons it will take to remove their cell phone from their @ss. I am getting tired of being crowded out of lanes, cutoff, pushed onto the shoulder of the interstate by poeple on their cell phones. Mostly women, but a few men too. I always make sure they know that becasue of people like them, I won't get a conceal/carry permit.

I was riding on the right side of the road, near the curb, like you are supposed to. Your lane is divided into 3 tracks for a m/c (remember your MSF class} and he almost brushed my shoulder by not moving out near the centerline.

I found just keeping a safe place between me and the cagers keeps me upright. I will say one thing though. If I am in my cage and some rider gets off his bike to come back to my car. He is in for a world of hurting. Really not a good idea to confront anyone. Ride on and like someone else said, get ready for the next one.

As posted before, now that I am older its not as important any more. I live in the country, in the mountains on a dirt road and away from the throngs of humanity and the azzholes that come with it. The style of riding I do, touring (just me and my wife) also minimizes but not eliminating the bull shiet.
I feel bad for those who live and do most of their riding in big cities. If azzholes were airplanes big cities seem to be the airport.
