I gotta side with Steel on this one. The only thing he could have done differently was maybe not calling the guy a jackass but when you're on a bike and someone almost hurts you who doesn't raise a finger or start throwing some words out there my mother told me not to say. Your blood is pumping, your adrenaline is scoring, your senses are maxed out, it's easy to get mad on a bike.
Now for a positive story. On my day after Saturday ride I went about 38 miles and four cars passed me. The two coming toward me both waved and the two going around me slowed down and gave me plenty of room. Honestly 99% of the people around here are very, very kind to me when I ride.
