Part of my reaction is because when I'm out in heavy traffic in the middle of town, I'm so psyched up making sure I'm safe - watching traffic behind me, keeping up a decent speed, keeping an eye on the lights ahead, keeping an eye on idiot pedestrians about to veer out in front me... so when a fellow cyclist blithely ignores the simplest rules of safety and comes freewheeling down the wrong side of the road straight at me with skirts and hair blowing in the wind... steam starts coming out of my ears.

I usually yell WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD! too, but I feel like yelling HEY, YOU'RE DEAD!!
