People seem to LOVE to tell me what they think with gestures and words while riding...some nice things, some not so nice and then some odd things.
Other night I had some dad(kids and wife in the car) yell to me "I would have been at fault, but you would have been dead"
WTF? Guy was about to change lanes into me, so I gunned it sensing it coming and right as I hit the throttle he signaled and I zoomed past. I guess he wanted me to slow down and kiss his bumper? I didnt feel that I did anything wrong, I got into the turning lane at the proper time signaled etc etc, he did not(crossed solid lines). I didint even bother to respond I just glared. and resisted :Flip: I suppose I could have braked instead of throttle....but seriously id rather get a head than behind and personally didnt think the guy was going to hit me unless I did nothing.
Almost as good as passing someone and them flipping you off at the next light. I feel like people are more aggressive towards bikers than they are to me in my car. Other than maybe a little speeding try to not(and rarely do) break any laws.
So just curious, what reactions and or things have people done towards you out there?
