I'm with Silver. Sadly I must say. These people do need taken to task. However... they have the upper hand in their potential "two ton killing machines". If it's your regular route, what if the guy was psycho and literally ran you over next time? Dead men tell no tells. Silver doesn't want a dead hubby.

I have found myself screaming out "... hey, I pay road tax too!!!...". Which is not fist fighting, giving the driver the finger, or profanity... just a "fact". To have the car turn around. As a woman out in the middle of no where, alone, I've learned to try and keep my mouth shut.

My new riding partner is very vocal. She was telling me that upon almost getting clipped her last alone ride, she was going to approach the car owner's house to educate him. Last ride we were out on, she spontaneously flipped this guy off that about clipped us both. OK, the jerk-face deserved it. But... it sorta scared the he$$ outta me at the same time: refer to history of car turning around incident.

Last rant...
The argument I had with someone once is what really gets me... "...OH! you *can* too get off in the gravel ditch birm with those road bike 23 tires???... just get the F over!!!...". OK, this guy does not bike. I'm sorry, there is no freakin way to get over, especially if going at a higher speed, instantly into the gravel berm. Well, without crashing! The road tires are called such for a reason... they work on the freakin road!!!

Ah, a feel a lil better now.
