The main reason I gave up road riding and only mountain bike now. I'd rather have a run-in with a tree than an Escalade going 50mph on a residential street, which is how they drive where I live. Was never verbally dissed but have been spit at, and then there were always those cars (usually a blinged out Mercedes paid for by mommy and daddy) full of teenagers who seemed to think it was fun to buzz the geezer on the bike within an inch of running him off the road. We have the "3 feet law" now here in CA, but apparently only the cyclists know about it.
