It made me really mad that some stupid old woman would honk at a little girl on a bike over and over.
I don't mind being honked at --- as long as it is a honk from more than 100 feet behind me. Honking right behind or while next to me will cause me to purposely ride erratically as it just makes me angry. If I am driving and out places with bike riders up ahead and I can't move entirely over into the other lane I will tap my horn usually when I am about 200 feet back just to let them know I am back there. When a car or truck honks appropriately when I am riding I will wave a thank you. I would much rather have that then the car to appear suddenly on my left when I haven't heard the approach due to the wind in my ears
