Secondly, his biking habits must take him on major streets quite often to be subject to such a number of abuses. Bicycles and cars are a bad mix; as much as possible, STAY OFF STREETS HEAVILY USED BY CARS.

Get on your bike, don’t cede too much power to the motorists, but use a lot of common sense to reduce the odds of getting harassed.

and, i’m sorry for all your troubles — motorists are notorious for having fiendish personalities, usually not at all in accord with how they behave when not behind the wheel.
