FFS. It's always men. Why verbally assault a woman for her mode of travel?
It is never acceptable.

I've been shouted at by women drivers over the years.

Tbh I have been verbally assaulted by a woman whilst riding my bike.

Not acceptable, but it's a bit "man bites dog" as it's the exception rather than the norm.

I agree it is predominantly men although we have to accept that it isn't just men.

Because very many of us men are, to be blunt, cunts.

From experience it is in the vast majority of instances male drivers that take exception to you cycling. Those who endanger/intimidate cyclists are massive cowards and see women cyclists as easier targets. Actions that play a significant part in the conclusion many reach, that it’s just not safe.

Even before reading it you knew there was going to be bad driving involved. Gets angry, drives like a dick and then it's someone else's fault.

Also it was him that was endangering the kids with his driving. But the car brains never think of that

And just for any smart arses out there it is NOT acceptable to abuse a woman for any reason.

The last person who almost ran me over and then threatened me with physical violence when I objected was a woman, but then I AM in America...
