What i don't have a historical sense about is how come motorists have gotten so nasty and antagonistic towards bicyclists!
In some countries (Italy) you will find motorists cheering you on because you're on a bike. They'd no sooner threaten a bicyclist than they would a grandmother toddling across the street with her walker. But here?
We have a thread enumerating the garbage that folks throw AT bicyclists.
I just can't get my head around it.
