had a similar altercation. not pushed off me bike but cut off pretty neatly and, to not crash, took a bunnyhop up the pave. checked out the two lads in the blue metallic ford escort (!) as they sped by.
when they had to stop a the very next red, i swung around and asked the driver, in a not cursingly angry way, if he does that often and Tbones people.
the driver who just looked straight ahead, instantly grabbed my arm and tries to pull me closer to the window, while swinging for a punch. i free myself with a step back, he wants to open the door.
i just kicked it right shut again and as the other guy got out and came around, i figured, it would be time to leave. dunno about their door ... and give a fuck, too.
i felt relaxed after that, as this shit happened so quickly, i usually would step back right out of harms way and have a frustrating after taste to deal with.
