Bike rage

Bike couriers often have to ride in heavy downtown traffic.

Bike rage refers to form of road rage in which acts of verbal or gestural anger or physical aggression between cyclists and other users of bike paths or roadways, including pedestrians, other cyclists, motorcyclists, or drivers. Bike rage can consist of shouting at other road users, making obscene gestures or threats, hitting or punching, or in rare cases, even more violent acts. The term can refer either to acts committed by cyclists[1] or by other road users against cyclists.[2] Bike rage is related to other explosive outbursts of anger such as road rage.
