There is also so much aggression from other male cyclists.

A few years ago I got myself a bike and started to ride it just up and down my residential street to get my bearings and become confident on it. I wasn’t going to ride it on the road to work until I felt like I could handle it well.

So one afternoon I was practicing turning and giving hand signals (difficult when you are just learning how to ride a bike with one hand) in my very quiet residential street. There were no moving cars or people in sight, just parked cars. I was going really slow towards the corner, looked behind me, indicated, put the indicating hand back on the handle and slowly went to go around the corner. Suddenly, just right when I was already half way around the corner, a cyclist comes up behind me, he was really fast, a lot faster than most cars go in that street. At this point there was no traffic on the street, so he literally had the entire street to pass me, especially since I was driving right besides the pavement as to not obstruct any traffic. He didn’t pass me though, slammed on his brakes behind me and started screaming expletives at me, that “fucking b*tches” like me shouldn’t cycle if we can’t go at a proper speed. “Are you fucking stupid you cow? Can’t you go at a normal speed?” I was so shaken, I got off my bike, profusely apologising thinking I had done something horribly wrong. He grabbed my bike by its handle and slammed it into me so hard that I fell backwards with the bike on top of me, yelling “fuck off the street fuck off the street, push this piece of garbage home on the pavement, I swear if I ever see you on the street...” then cycled off. I got up shaking and about to cry and never cycled again after that. Like wth I didn’t harm anyone. Clearly this guy was just angry and needed someone to abuse and vent his anger, so when he saw a new timid cyclist who happened to be a 20 year old defenceless looking girl alone in a quiet street, he went in. Fucking predators.

I got male biker raged a couple of weeks ago. I was driving my car down a very narrow parkway. There was a bike path right next to the road but this dude insisted on riding his bike right down the middle of the narrow road. There are turnouts for cars to park in all along the parkway. Now, a respectful biker will pull into those turnouts so cars can pass by. Not this asshat. As we came up to one of the very few lighted intersections on this parkway at a red light, he stayed right in the middle of the road instead of pulling over next to the curb and sidewalk so the by now five cars behind him could try to pass him after the light turned green. He pretended he didn't notice that cars were piling up behind him. We went through two lighted intersections with him hogging the road and not pulling over into the turnouts so cars could pass him. I knew cars behind me were wondering when I was going to try to pass him so they could try to pass him as well. At the first opportunity seeing no oncoming traffic, I pulled out into the left lane and passed him, waited until I saw him in my rear view mirror and then turned my turn signal on to let him know I was going to move back into the right lane. As we came up on the next lighted intersection, I hear this loud banging and looked in my rear view mirror. He was banging his fist into my car trunk repeatedly as he yelled, "You fucking stupid c@!t. Why did you have to pass me? Everywhere I go there are stupid fucking c@!ts. You stupid female idiot c@!t aggressive drivers," yada, yada, with fucking stupid c@!t thrown inbetween each nasty sentence. Apparently he thought all the ten cars that were by now held up behind him had no right to try to pass him. He put a four-inch scratch in my brand new car trunk. Surprised he didn't leave a permanent dent in it. Hope his fist got hurt during his mantrum. He scared the crap out of me though as his mantrum escalated. I had one foot on the brake and one on the gas pedal and decided if he came up further toward my windows to smash his fist and break them that I'd make a right turn to get out of his rage way. Fortunately, the light turned green. I watched in the rear view mirror as he continued to stay right in the middle of the right lane of traffic with a sea of cars having to go 5-10 miles an hour behind him. He would not let cars pass him. What a twit. I learned my "fucking stupid c@!t" lesson: If a man is on the road, he owns it. Silly fucking stupid c@!t me.

EDIT: Per moderator request, I have now changed the offensive word. I wanted to put it in the post because that's what he called me repeatedly while yelling at the top of his lungs. And people in their cars and on the bike and walking paths and people waiting to cross the street at the intersection could hear him loud and clear . He said it with impunity and that's what was the most upsetting. He saw no reason why he should not use that word. And he is not the only man who has called me that. Seems to happen more and more often these days. That word is very upsetting to women and that's why they call us that.
