I have had similar experiences on the road but never on the multi-modal paths. I suspect most people who yell at cyclists will only do so from the comfort of a vehicle moving faster than the cyclist.

I was over on the right side of the path and he had plenty of room to go around me - golf cart traffic was light and no other carts in sight. My husband was riding ahead of me around the corner and not visible to the driver when he yelled at me. When he caught up to my husband, he did not yell at him - not sure what I hate more - a coward who bullies a girl he thinks is alone or road rage. We tried to catch up to him and I would have called the police but we lost him. He either went straight down BV or turned into one of the golf courses but thankfully it does not appear he went down Pinellas. I did not want to think he lived in our neighborhood. It is so sad on a beautiful sunny day that some people have so much anger / hatred in them. Biker Bob's Wife.
