I can safely say that a large proportion of drivers in Australia need no encouragement! Since moving here I have pretty much been heckled, honked at and almost killed on a daily basis, and hit twice (and that's lucky considering the number of near misses I encounter each day as a courier). I've been called a faggot so much I'm starting to believe it. Do they know something I don't? There's a few cars around with 'anti-spandex' stickers, which feature the no cycling symbol.
But to be fair there are also a lot of roadies here, and a lot of people who stop you in the street to ask about your 'fixie'.
