As a cyclist and a driver, I've never had a cyclist throw something at my car just for existing. My brother has been shot at with a pellet gun. I've had cars swerve at me to run me off the road.
There are a lot of psychos out there with a straight up violent hatred for cyclists and a way too many people justifying it because a cyclist was a danger to themselves at some point.
- microtherion 4y agoLast week, while driving my car, I had a car behind me flash his headlights and honking at me because I decided not to pass a cyclist in front of me in an area I assessed as too narrow to pass safely. So sometimes even automobilists experience psycho attitudes towards cyclists by proxy.
- cassianoleal 4y agoIndeed, and that's really crap - sorry you had to go throught that. In any case, the car behind you honking and flashing their headlights was likely not putting your life in danger. Thank you for doing the right thing and being patient with the cyclist though. Rest assured your behaviour is appreciated.
