Occasionally there are hit and run incidents killing the cyclist and the police hunting them down finding they have a history as cycling haters. When I see them on the TV nightly news in police custody I wounder what there thinking now, was it all worth it.
You can tell which "cagers" hate cyclists. They are the ones that pass -as closely as possible- by you even though you're already on the shoulder and there's two (or more), wide open lanes. Thank God for modern technology and the Garmin Varia radar.
