When I cycle-commuted in London I got lots of rage
Worst was a bus deliberately swerving at me trying to knock me off on the Aldwych (I got a photo of the bus plate at the next lights and reported him), and a skip lorry doing the same on Kennington Road. Then there were school kids pouring drinks on you from bus upper deck, cars overtaking you and then immediately turning left across you etc etc
Since I moved out to Kent I haven't had a single incident, not one. I have a much shorter cycle but still feels totally different
