from my years of bicycling back home from wsu, i recall a number of
unpleasant encounters motorists. some of these have lead me to think that
there are some sociological implications of the bicycle that may be at the
core of the conflict. sort of like "anyone who has enough stamina left to
ride home after working a full day must not have a "real job". for some
folks the bicycle seems to bring out a prey-killing response.
