> I'm actually surprised that there isn't more direct action against overly aggressive drivers, "rolling coal", and the like, Bicycling is viewed by most Americans as a recreational or exercise activity, not as a legitimate primary means if transportation. When you bike to work on a road, you are perceived of as recreating in front of someone trying to actually get somewhere "important" in a car. Direct action by bicyclists gets perceived through the same lens.
