As a Bike Messenger I deal with a lot of pissed off drivers on a day to day basis. I try to be courteous as much as I can on the road but when you have a bag full of rushes, more trips coming in and a pissed off dispatcher on the other end you tend to throw all of your good intentions aside.
With all that said there are some cases where it's best to be prepared, such as last week. When a motorist called me a "Fairy fucking pansy bike riding faggot" for merely existing, when I returned the favor with the finger he swerved into me and barely missed me, and of course at the next red light got out of his car and was attempting to chase me, by which point I was long gone. Those are the cases where i thank companies like Competative cycles for delivering such a product to the cycling community.
Thanks to Hipster Nascar for putting me onto this.
