On road and cyclist rage: Wheels are evil

From the Chicago Tribune: Rage between cars, bikes is a vicious wheel --
When I am in my car, cyclists vex the mess out of me. On my bicycle, cyclists and motorists vex the mess out of me.

And at the root of it all is anger. Why? What's making us all so mad?

"We're trained that way," said Leon James, a psychologist who has studied drivers and their psychology for 25 years. "It's cultural practice to be tough and say, 'Don't let them make a fool of you.' "

That's right. You wake up angry, roll out of the house angry and are just waiting for the catalyst that turns anger into rage.
