My eyes weren't good enough to see the plate and there's no way I could have caught up to him with traffic and my gas tank still filling.... Stay safe out there folks. There are some who hate us because of what we represent to them, and we are vulnerable on our bikes with them in their cars/trucks. I want to ride solo bc of covid, but want to ride in groups bc of crazies like that. The conundrum of these times for cyclists everywhere.

Yes, that's especially annoying to hear. You'd expect a fellow cyclist would respect and appreciate.

You wouldn't think a jersey would matter. My Assos Mumu jersey is for sure a hit with everyone around here. Smiles and toots all around. I also have a Performance jersey, black base with rainbow colors. Thankfully, haven't noticed any issue's while wearing.
