22Feb 400PM - Cedar St near Denison Pkwy, I merge out of a driveway into a near stationary queue of cars, hand signal left, and soon turn left into a nearby alley. After I turn, a driver opens his window, and shouts "it's not a fucking sidewalk!". My response: raise middle finger, shout "piss off, asshole!"
Result and comment: 2 pissed off people: one driver, one cyclist. How to improve? Ignore driver issued insults. Continue to follow rules of the road (I was able to safely merge into the near stationary line of cars - perhaps this offended the involved driver - don't merge next time I am in this situation?) Make eye contact with drivers I interact with whenever possible.
23Feb 100AM - St Rte 352 toward Riverside, lights on, traveling west on the white line which marks the road's shoulder, I observe a passenger open the window of the subcompact car he is riding in, mutter something unintelligable, then close the window quickly (it was cold out). My response: ignore.
