I understand the frustration. Whenever my beau and I are out biking, there are occasionally a few people screaming out obscenities at him. Just the other day, he had an altercation with a min-van when someone decided to call him an asshole for no reason. He was on the sidewalk on a bridge and was minding his own business. WTF! Some drivers feel that they own the road!

I didn’t want to say it and be called an vehicle-racist but I’ve noticed that out of all the cars that pass me without moving over, or yell or honk at me, Most of them are pickup trucks. I’m not saying that all pickup truck drivers don’t move over. I used to drive a pickup and was always sure to move over. But I have noticed his as well. It’s interesting to hear others have the same experience.

I find that the people who yell the most at cyclists drive pickup trucks. Am I alone in thinking this? This is just from personal experience.

Wish I would’ve got his plates. My adrenaline was pumping so fast that I didn’t think to get his plates. I don’t even know the make and model of the car other than it was some sort of tan sedan which doesn’t say much. It’s also been my experience that the Naperville/Aurora cops don’t seem to care much for cyclists either. I’ve heard the same thing from others as well.

That was a hit and run – any chance you got any identifying information on the car and driver? I’d still report this to the police.
