Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Did the humour work? Did they give up trying to rob you? Like I said, sometimes laughing at agression is the best way to diffuse it. When I'm being tailgated by drivers, sometimes I wait till we stop and ask why they want to be so close to my ass. Not sure I'll offer a blowjob to the next gang of youths that hurl abuse at me on the street, though...

They never robbed me. They turned out to be a right laugh.
