Not adding to animosity on the road
And my personal favorite:
Right or wrong, you'll still be dead
I hope your commute home is better. Maybe something like this will happen to make up for this morning: http://www.thechainlink.org/forum/topics/a-first
Leading by example . . . in a perfect world, that might work.
I was a "model" vehicular cyclist for about my first 5 years of serious riding. Now I'm not.
In my "vehicular cyclist" phase I would be victimized fairly regularly as Christopher described.
Now I rarely am.
... because making a broad generalization about an entire sub-section of the population based upon a statistically-insignificant number of experiences is not rational.
Do you know how much of the time ChristopherMCA is harrassed/physically threatened by drivers relative to how much he rides?
I don't see that information here.

Do you know whether ChristopherMCA is a 'vehicular cyclist', and whether that riding style contributed to him being harassed?

I find that if I am riding in a calm respectfull way, I get (for the most part) calm respectfull cars around me.
If I am riding in an angry "crazy" way, there are more "incidents" with cars.
