I'm a cyclist and I've been hit by a car twice, run off the road once, and yelled/honked at many many times. What I dont get is: why dont people realize that they are putting mine (or other cyclist's) lives in danger because of something that might make them, at most, one minute late. Whenever I'm driving I ALWAYS give both bikers and cyclists as much room as they need while staying out of their blind spots. It's really not a hard thing to do. Sadly, here in Atlanta, I've read stats that said that in 2003 200 bikers/cyclists were killed. That just sucks!
