Strangely pertinent, but today I got my first real bit of abuse from a kid for ages when I was riding too slowly through Reading.
He was waiting to turn right and I rode past, smiling, he said something really rude about holding him up. I was too suprised to say anything to him.
What can I say. I am a 260lb bloke, I could have pulled his head off if I wanted. Wouldn't have made things any better though.
Next time I'll tell him to take it easy. Can't be fun if all of your interaction is that negative.
