I’ve had people intentionally come close even though I’m in a bike lane.
Even had people stopped in traffic intentionally move over to block the bike lane when they see me coming. But I have an MTB with commuter tyres, so hopping the curb around them is no issue.
there’s something weirdly empowering about touching people’s cars. I’ve straight up slapped the rear end of cars that passed in front of me while i was using a pedestrian crossing, and it’s like getting to slap them in the face but without it being assault, or even hurting anything other than my hand.
People feel so utterly safe and isolated in cars that having someone on the outside affect you directly is incredibly jarring and punctures the sense of invulnerability

That’s when I squeeze by anyways and touch their car in the process.
