I'd be calling the cops on her for threatening assault by baseball bat, myself. She sounds seriously unhinged and might need help with that before someone gets hurt (kids with her, you say?). Glad you're ok though.

Thanks, yeah I'm fine, it just took me a minute or two to get rid of the adrenaline. 'Seriously unhinged' hits the spot, I mean I've dealt with some road-ragers before but fuck me, never seen a woman get aggro with a baseball bat. Kind of expected some older fat dude shouting at me, but serves me right for stereotyping higher-end SUV drivers I suppose.

It's the classic story, she tried to squeeze me off the road in a huge SUV, I banged the back of her car, and her bubble of safety apparently burst very suddenly and she couldn't take it. Was swerving back and forth ahead of me several times waiting for me to catch up (of course I'm not stupid enough to go alongside of someone with homicidal tendencies in a 1.5ton car), almost got into an argument with another cyclist until she realised that was not me, got out of the car further up the road.
I have a U-Lock, she went to get the baseball bat, and finally withdrew after a few semi-attempts at batting my head. Not without a lot of screaming about me and how I should 'never get close to her or her kids again'. Like, maybe don't manoeuvre the car that contains your kids into my handlebars then?
In hindsight, I should have remained calmer because really it was more funny than anything else, but that's also easier to say in hindsight. Also, she's clearly got mental issues because while I have definitely got extremely angry at people before, I've never tried to assault anyone with a car or a baseball bat.
