Everyones going to assume the worst when you honk. At the same time drivers are going to assume the worst when they see a pack of cyclists. Bad cycle to be in if you ask me. I cant claim to be any better, if someone honks at me I sometimes react poorly, but I also dont ride in the middle of the road.
I hopped on the the back of a group ride recently, because I desperately needed a pull back into the city. I couldnt beleive these guys, just in and out of the road, for some reason ignoring the massive shoulder we had.
Groups build confidence and macho-ness it seems to me.
