Get a headlight modulator, it has really cut down on the idiots turning in front of me, really. I am extremely pleased with the modulator, only had one complaint from oneold lady who rolled her window down and said " your headlight is blinking on and off!" haha..it gets the attention it's supposed to, I would never take it off now. I can activate it or not, depending on conditions, but in traffic, itsure lets 'em know your coming!

 

Since you don't know who's carrying a gun, or what kind of mental state they're in or if their brother is a real 1 Pecenter or not, it is best to not screw with anyone. Let it go. Go home and put pins in your cager kewpie doll.

 

I have a hard time keeping my cool as well, but I've never done that. I have wanted to though, but I'm not packing so my luck the idiot I chase would be, or the car would be full of piece of chit gang-bangers and I'd end up dead. I have really tried to be mellow when I ride and so far it seems to work. I do ride with my headlights on high, but people still don't look.

Tide - sounds like that was a bad day for you - I'm glad it turned out OK though and I hope the stupid girl learned a lesson. At least you told her what she did and why it was bad.

Ride safe.

 

All of the things that tick off everyone here tick me off too. As far as keeping cool, you have to do whatever you can to keep your cool. I guess everyone deals with it in their own way. I shake my head, shrug it off, and hope they get theirs (Karma). Bottom line is that if riding or any other thing that is supposed to be enjoyable raises your blood pressure, then it's time to find something less stressful. Don't let others take away your enjoyment of cycling.

 

Agree 100% they are always on the phone

 

I find that my regular injection of thorazine works quite well for keeping me calm...
