I've experienced more than my share of near misses with distracted drivers immersed in their technology. Although less common, intentional buzzes or actually having someone try and hit me are the ones that truly get me unglued, and I have to say that this season, I have experienced this way more than in the past. As cyclists we are minorities, and haters of minorities are in full bloom these days, hate seems to be more "OK", haters feel more emboldened and less fearful of consequences. I won't offer up the obvious reason why this is, otherwise the thread will get locked down quick. Stay safe out there, spread some love and good karma, it'll get back eventually. I do find myself now waving at just about every car that gives me space and passes with care.
