kafka cycling

Why is it that so many people feel the need to yell at me during my
cycle-commute? I have been chased by drunks, had people try to push me over,
and had all sorts of stuff yelled at me. Is there something so utterly
antisocial about cycling or is it that these people are just a bunch of
ignorant yahoos? I'm starting to feel like Kafka. Last night going home
there were lots of people out returning to their cars from watching
fireworks. Many of them felt is necessary to say things like "Go Lance, go!"
or lean out of a car window and say "wanna race?". What they dont realize is
that when one is riding there is a surge of adrenalin (and other chemicals)
making it difficult to resist accusing these yahoos of being lazy, ignorant
pussies who think their ability to step on a gas pedal is a measurement of
their manhood. -and they are always in groups! people suck.
