Does anyone else deal with stuff like this? I know a few of you have had to deal with jerks while riding and having stuff thrown at you. But how do you deal with stuff like this?

Emily - I completely understand where you are coming from. Being in a similar situation, single woman who rides on her own always.

How scary and frightening. You know something? Even when I'm walking (forget riding), if someone walks close behind me for more than a minute or two in public (not at a mall or the like), I always stop. It creeps me out to have people following me.

You've been given some advice here too, but in addition to that I'd say....consider getting off the road for a moment - like say, turn into a driveway, a house, an apartment complex, or just get on a sidewalk. Obviously the camera/license plate/picture thing is still in effect, as well as possibly changing the time you ride or modifying your route slightly.

Good luck and best wishes!
