Maybe I'm too new at this and I need to get used to it - but on just a short 10 mile return ride home, I was almost hit by cars or people (a car door as well), honked at, and yelled at more times than I ever have on a ride twice that long. Two people honked at me while I was riding on a side street for riding in the road (???) nearly frightening me off my bike - AND someone yelled at me for getting all the way into my lane to make a left turn!!!

Man - this is going to take some getting used to... I mean, it's not like there aren't other cyclists around here!
