You did good in everything else, you honked and the guy snapped out of his stupidity and you gave him a good blasting. The guy was brain dead to not even look, had headphones on whilst riding (???) and ran a red light. Moron. I don't know how bad it would have been if he hit you. A broken bone and a lot of scraped off skin. For some people that's a risk worth taking. Does that mean falling behind in work, insane medical bills and stress on the family? I don't know if cycling is worth it for everybody. It's not my place to say any of those guesses about what it means to you in real life. I'm curious what the stressors are for cyclists. Being in a car crash at least gives you the peace of mind that in a reasonable accident the car will take all the damage and you can walk away and get a rental.
