I've noticed that when I'm riding during the week, in the evening, the drivers are a lot more aggressive than on the weekends. I think they're trying to get home from work and they think that I'm in their way.
So I'm always way more defensive and cautious on the weekdays because that car that looks like it's going to turn left right in front of me probably will.
This evening I was riding with a friend on a parkway here that is very popular with cyclists, and my friend got beeped at by a motorcyclist who then yelled at us to ride single file. Like that motorcycle didn't have room to pass us on a low traffic two lane road with wide shoulders?
I can only feel sorry for people whose lives are so devoid of joy that they feel the need to yell at others.
