If I gave you the impression that hostility between drivers and cyclists was unusual where I live, it's absolutely not the case. Drivers in NH are more hostile to cyclists than anywhere else I've lived, it just doesn't seem to have any relationship to how people actually ride around here. I get honked at and close passed when I'm way over to the right in a breakdown lane, absolutely obstructing nothing whatsoever.
