Taxi driver shouted "idiot" at me :-(

Not nice: you punishment is to cycle 10 miles in Rome city.
If you come out of it alive, you have earned the right to call anybody on the roads any names you like

And there lies the crux as to why Pat is probably more forgiving than most!

...but that doesn't come down to you being a better (or not) rider. That comes down to you drawing the line much further towards serious before choosing to remember or talk about any incident.

True, I have gotten annoyed at the handlebar incident on here in the past, but really, there's nothing I can do about it now, so why worry? What happened happened.

I've seen the OTHER side of cycling/driving - consider myself lucky that half of my commute is traffic free.
