This is a sad commentary on the people who live in this city but the rudest, most dangerous drivers that I as a cyclist have met are cab drivers and young boys (16-25) in the "rice rocket" cars. I have had incidents with both, and I too have thrown things at cars and even kicked and dented one at a stop light when he crowded me to the point that if I didn't lift myself and bike onto the sidewalk he would have hit me just by him pulling forward. He tried to take my name and number but when the driver behind stated he would be my witness, this guy got in his car and drove off. I have many other scary stories about being passed by cars on my right side that I will tell later as I am about to commute right now.
good Luck!
