“Extreme and unprovoked anger toward cyclists”

“Dear PoPville,

Sharing a scary interaction with a driver that apparently has a lot of anger towards cyclists. Curious if anyone else has had this experience. I was on my bike around 545am when the driver became very hostile toward me. Without any interaction or prompting, he starts screaming at the top of his lungs from inside the car “F*** YOU” repeatedly. This is my second encounter with the same driver.

I want to be clear that there was no incident (cutting him off etc) or basis for roadrage. This was completely unprovoked anger both times. I hope his anger does not escalate to something more dangerous, and I hope others will report it to the police if they have similar experience.”
