When I was into road cycling I find having a banana sticking out my rear jersey pocket would make drivers treat me better. I later saw a study that drivers think cyclists are less human, so my theory is it reminded them that I am, in fact, just a person using the road.
Alas, even the banana stopped working, though. Road cycling is horrible now. Too many cars.
