I can only assume that you live in an area with a lot of very rude
people.

I can honestly say that it happens so rarely here that I even can't
remember the last time it happened to me.

Actually, no. I'm the guy who says it's a rare occurrence. I think I
get a horn blare maybe once a month at maximum.

Of, course I don't ride in a manner to impede others :-)

That Escalade guy's "impedence" was that he actually had to change
lanes. He didn't even have to slow down. People like that might blare
their horn if I were walking my bike along a sidewalk. Screw 'em.

As I said, apparently a land of many rude people.



It's not that it's a land of many rude people. It's that the rude
people are usually loud, obnoxious and often dangerous. Same here in
Quebec. It's rare that I agree with Frank but in this case he's right.
Screw 'em.


And according to Frank, there are so many of them...

Not what I said! I said I get maybe one horn blare per month,
_maximum_. Re-read above! (I actually think it's considerably less.)

I had assumed from your description that it was a daily, or even more
frequent, experience. But once a month? That is verging on the
insignificant, isn't it? Good Lord, in the rainy season here I get wet
at least once a week. But I don't rant and rave about it :-)
