Gee, this discussion leaves me a bit depressed.
I used to like to think that those who rode bikes were at least a
bit more environmentally conscious.  This included the personalities
of those who bicycled.  I've seen other riders yell [what I regard
as] needless obsenities at cars [not too close, but windows open],
and there will always be the cyclists and joggers who try to run
red lights and nearly get hit.  On the other hand, I saw a woman
throw from her car on 101 into the freeway [no bikes involved]
while driving to Berkeley the other day.  I've no idea whether she
survived or not, but she was alive when I left [after the paramedics
arrived].  This isn't just hatred; it's insanity.  It's an issue
beyond bicycles and cars.
