I totally hear you. The trade off for me to get some headspace is worth the odd dickhead. But I can easily get out to the countryside so it’s easier to avoid them.
Only one today who decided to squeeze me against a kerb at a roundabout because I pulled in front of her at some lights. I also told a guy to fuck off when he tried to claim I MUST use the badly designed cycle lane (but I actually enjoyed that encounter because I could see him instantly turn puce).
I have no desire to ride outside at all these days.
It was realising that I felt the need to have cameras record my rides because of the frequency of shit driving, close or punishment passes and I no longer have the energy to argue with shit drivers that sold me on turbo sessions.
When lockdown happened it meant fewer cars on the roads so people just started driving faster.
