A bicycle story.

About two weeks ago I was riding my lovely bicycle to work. I was cruising along Folsom when a car pulls into my bike lane and stops in front of me, forcing me into a skid. I correct out of it, but as a pass the car, I knock on his window, letting him know that he almost hit me, a knock and a glance, nothing more. This angers this man so much that

WTF?

I admire your restraint. I've had guys (and girls) up in my face like that (happened a number of times on my mission) but I never got hit. I don't know if I'd be able to not hit them back. I also agree with Alex and liked that you let him know you were intentionally not fighting back--making him flinch is great but the fact that he actually 'cowered' is even better. It's a tough call on the assault charge. On the one hand, the guy should know that is completely unacceptable and involving the law might really drive that home, but on the other hand it would probably just turn into a larger hassale than it's worth and only result in a small fine/community service.
