No. Conversely, I had a really nice ride today and despite a lot more cars and people out I had no unwanted attention whatsoever.
I think it’s worth riding a few routes because you can work out where you can and can’t go with regards to encountering loads of people. Unfortunately, the places where I see the fewest people is where all the ass-hat drivers are, on the Surrey/Hampshire transition.
I went out in disguise yesterday (civies on top of bibs) to see if it would attract less unwanted attention from militant Surrey car drivers. First, third and sixth car that passed me did a deliberately close pass, followed by a truck that passed so close and fast it nearly blew me into the ditch on the lane. I think I'm going to call that a no.
