all of these stories really surprise me....I have been riding for over 2 years now and not once have I had anything thrown at me, anything yelled at me, anyone threaten me, anyone swerve at me in their car, or a dog even make a move towards me.....I once had a rattlesnake cross the road in front of me, but I'm not sure that counts...and believe me, the pickups certainly outnumber cars in this area...just lucky I guess
oh yeah, sometimes the cows have looked at me menacingly.
