    Question Why the Animosity from Some Drivers?

    So I've heard stories from my male cyclist friends about trucks pulling up beside them and remarking on their sexual persuation or throwing cans at them, and of coarse the close encounter when a driver feels it is OK to play chicken with a cyclist

    But until now I have not personally experienced this negative energy towards myself.

    Yesterday a car coming towards me started to head strait towards me then slowed down and swerved back into his side and gunned his engine right next to me and took off. WHAT THE????? I almost rode off the road. And I did not get their license...I was simply too stupified I suppose.

    Is this high comedy for some insane drivers? Like "ahahhaha!! I almost killed that bicyclist!!!"
    So I though for awhile pondering why the animosity toward cyclists?
    Any theories?
    Are we that annoying to some folks? Does spandex inspire homocidal thoughts?
