bpcyclist, having followed your posts for quite a while I know you to be very level headed and patient with a long fuse. You certainly had good reasons for doing what you did. That fella was way "off scale" for whatever was bothering him that morning.....I'm thinking he was really aggravated at something and he was really wanting and maybe needing to impart how he felt on somebody else.....you just happened to be the target of his immature emotions.
We've all been there. Hopefully it didn't mess up your ride that morning.
Sometimes I have to remind myself (about once a ride around here), to not let a motorist or another entity ruin my ride that day. If I let it linger then they've won....and I hate losing!!!
Thanks for sharing!
