Point being, you're going to get yelled at by entitled motorists no matter what you do. They haven't figured out that moving through the world in a 15x6 foot box will limit their movement considerably. If it's that much of a problem for them, they need to get a motorcycle.
Haha. In those situations I sort of want drivers to honk. Then I simply point to the bike lane and they'll see I can't ride in it for the car that's in there forcing me to ride in front of them.
