There was perhaps an element of truth in their criticism, or at least
a difference of opinion that you could have or should have stopped,--
however inappropriately that opinion was expressed...

Although I probably should have grin and borne it,

Perhaps you might have simply said something declarative like,
"I didn't think I could stop in time and I was out of the intersection
before the light turned red."

These people were unlikely to respond by de-escalating the situation
regardless of what you said or did. But by not responding in kind,
you might have established your position sufficiently that you
could then grin and borne it.

Responding appropriately to provocation is a challenge deeply
entrenched in human nature/culture. Consider the recent NBA
players/fans fight scene... Letting others "push our buttons" is
common. I don't find very satisfying remembering the feeling
of a provoked angry response, so I try avoid it.

Maybe we need "Zen and the Art of Bicycle Riding." %^)

Had a bit of trouble following what you wrote, but figure I got the jest of
it.
In the future while riding your [censored] bike, try being quiet and give a big
broad
smile at people who put you down, seems to confuse them. They are looking to
degrade you and you smile in return and if they have more than 3 active
brain cells,
at some point they will realize your grin is really mocking them.
Backup plan = get a magnet backed sign reading "I support Osama Bin Laden"
and at the next traffic stop quietly attach it to their car and ride away,
it lets Patriots in other cars take care of those who have unjustly
tormented you.

In my old age I have toned down my rage against car drivers, I no longer use
my shoe and kick the driver side mirror off their car, have stopped using
the Awl I carried to scratch a line bumper to bumper and I no longer use my
(apparently useless) Kryptonite lock to bash out tail lights....although all
of the above did make my daily commute more enjoyable taking out my contempt
on cars and big honking SUVs, I found the Big Smile works just as well.

So he pulled up along-side them, pulled out his locking knife, and
slashed their tires.

He says they said, "What was that for?!" and he just pedaled away,
leaving them in the inside lane of a 4 lane intersection with two ruined

Extreme, yes, but what are they going to tell the cops? They confiscate

In my old age I have come to the conclusion that for a cyclist to physically
attack a car driven by someone who should not breed has a downside, namely
the car driver may use his car as a weapon to punish you...or road rage
where the driver gets out of his car and beats the bejeezus out of you.

A few years ago a guy in a SUV who passed me and cut in front of
me...causing me to hit my brakes fast, I reacted by giving him the Finger
and I guess he saw this in his rear view mirror and then threw his truck in
reverse to run over me. Fortunately for me, I do not appear large in a
semi-prone riding position. When he got out of his SUV to yell at me, I
stood up and he re-thought yelling at me...my being taller and considerably
bigger than he was. I am sure if I was not built like a football player, he
would have done me bodily harm.

Had I physically attacked his SUV and did not look like someone your mother
warned you about, he could have mangled me.

I therefore now feel taking out your contempt and anger on anything weighing
2500-3,000 lbs and driven by a moron, is likely not a wise move.

IF I am attacked by anyone with a motor vehicle, I will and do go totally
ballistic, but for younger and less physically intimidating riders...better
to ignore and chalk it up to just one more memorable riding experience you
survived. Losing your dignity on a ride is better than losing body parts or
your life.

*I know I am getting old because a few years ago I'd be suggesting riders
carry a flare gun and pop a flare into the back seat of any car that has
interfered with your ride.

Riding on the road is a game and the goal is to win money in the court
battle. Try to figure out how you can win a whole lot of money in
court from another car driver who is a danger to society. At the
second light you could have just gone thru it while it was red. This
might provoke the Lincoln driver do do something real stupid like try
to arrest you. That would be kidnapping. Maybe the idiot will try to
run you down and accidentally hit another car. When people get angry
they sometimes make mistakes that you should take advantage of. Only
cops have the right to enforce traffic laws. When I ride I only think
of how I can sue someone and win. If someone does make me angry then
it only increases my adrenaline and which lets me ride faster. Road
rage improves my bicycle speed. In my old age I have enjoyed the road
rage game because it livens up my boring commutes.

I've been sharing the road with cagers for about three decades now, and
have never had a major incident. Nothing worse than losing a few square
feet of skin. At least half of my rides have no noteworthy occurrences
involving cars, not even a threat of danger. (I ride anywhere from
50-150 days per year.)

But I LOVE this attitude and will adopt it. 🙂

I told the last guy who started in on me from his car at a red light that
I'd call 911 and report a road rage incident, and mention the can of beer
parked between his legs if he didn't grow up. He shut up. I rode off.

I did call in a 911 when a crazy lady tried to illegally pass me in bumper
to bumper traffic and run me into the parked cars. I tried to Joshua her
passenger side rear view and she stopped and started swearing at me. There
was a youngish teen girl in the car with the mad woman suffering her vulgar
diatribe at me. She was holding up a huge line of cars with her rant. It
took the cop about 45 seconds to get there. Made the crazy lady pull over
and wait while he took my statement. Not the first time the crazy lady has
had contact with the police according to him. I felt sorry for the girl. The
cop started talking [censored] to me about bikes and cars like I was a ten year
old kid. I was only riding one block to get from one trail head to another
and I reminded the cop about my legal rights to the road and that I was
obeying the rules. Traffic snails through this one main street town. I was
polite to the cop while exposing his anti bike prejudices from his traffic
lecture, but I did criticize him for his attitude. I insinuated that while I
was a rules abiding bicyclist, perhaps he wasn't when he rode his bike and
that was the basis for his attitude.

I still worry about the little girl.

Perhaps within all cyclists resides both an adult and a twelve
year old.. I think it must be the twelve year olds we are reading in those
posts advocating vandalism of cars or intentionally provoking rage from
their drivers, because a squared away adult would surely handle these
situations in a more appropriate way. From the cyclist's standpoint
survival of the fittest isn't exactly the best way to solve hostile car /
bike interactions.

Maybe a short meditation would be good before getting on the bike.

Jon Meinecke's post on this thread seems to be in the right spirit. I
suggest reading it again.
