Drivers Honks then Tries to Flee 

so true, I used to ride a moped in college. guys in flashy sports cars would whiz by in traffic.. I'd catch up at the next light. they'd gun it.. but the lights are timed for 30 MPH. so they'd be waiting, and I'd whiz by , just as the light was turning green. rinse and repeat for nearly a dozen lights as we cross town.. I actually thought you were on a motorbike at first. and wondered why you were in the bike.. but then you explained you were cycling..

100%. I've encountered this. I have confronted people over this. My literal neighbors cannot imagine I am a part of their community using our streets and that they will be confronted after aggressing at me on my bicycle, using their car. Great job.

Whats up tough guy? Love it!!! Ive done it as well. They often assume we can travel faster than we do with more and more EBikes out there

You did fine, I have done the same thing. Like you said you can only take so much.

Great point made in this video. We are all neighbors out there. The majority of trips are less than 3 miles which means most of the people you honk at or get pissed off with live on your street or on the next block. It's basically like leaving your front door and immediately screaming F-YOU at the guy next door watering his lawn... the other driver or cyclist that you swerve at is probably going to be the person one spot in front of you in line at the Whole Foods.

Riding my bike one day a motorist honked his horn and I saw him laugh assuming to impress his lady friend. Dumb a$$ got caught at a red light I asked what the problem was and again he just laughed. I asked him if his lady friend blows like the horn magically changed the smile to yelling at me. I now laughed and drove off.

Also can't believe that Camino Del Rio south "bike lane" is still that narrow and blocked by vegetation.

physics be damned, the paint on the road says you can be there. 🙃

Next time he honks at you on Adams you need to tell him he owes you a drink @ Polite Provisions.

Honestly some times you just have to push back.

the title made me laugh lol

Even before I was into riding my bike, I would never consider honking at a cyclist. I really don't get people today. When I was younger, the streets were shared with bikes and pedestrians. But these days, motorists will honk at anyone not in a car. It really discourages anyone from taking up cycling which is a shame because the less people in cars, the less traffic there is! Separated bike lanes would help a lot as well as traffic calming. When I first started commuting by bike, I would stop and talk to people who honked at me and my daughter who was in a trailer. Some people were polite and didn't realize what the experience was like being on a bike. Some were less accepting to conversation but face to face, they would at least listen to me. The common thing that I noticed was that they all seemed to want to honk and get away with it and act like a spoiled child when caught. It's really unfortunate that people in cars have become so antisocial. Lately, I stopped talking people most of the time. I might change some minds by talking to people but I mostly don't want to waste my time. I do give a friendly tap on the mirror if I need to let them know they are being inconsiderate or doing something dangerous. But I'm tired of lecturing people and just want to get to my destination without getting harassed. I try to remember to not take it personally. People in cars will find any excuse to honk at cyclists because they don't like sharing the road. That's it. They don't care about the rules/laws. Also, they don't know how loud (and dangerous) honking is to people outside of a car, which however doesn't excuse their behavior. I once even had a firetruck honk at us (we went on red 2 seconds before it went green to avoid having to mix with cars). They guys in the fire truck had their ear protection on while they sat and blew their horn. Way to be safe fire department...

Following him was not very smart.

I know it sucks, I've been riding for 14 years. At some point you just have to develop thicker skin. It would be nice if people were more thoughtful but we are not. You need to be more careful, there are a lot of guns in this country.

if you stop riding in the middle of the street would be much safer bro

why rage over such a minor thing? you are the only one causing problems in this video blocking traffic and threatening people.
