Day 3- Whats up with the cars?

Why is it that when you are on a bike you become fair game for anyone who happens to be driving by? Ive gotten into verbal arguments with bus drivers and other people who feel like just because they drive a car, they own the road. My favorite obstacle is riding my bike on Shattuck ave and trying to avoid people getting in and out of their cars, traffic on your left and road work at the same time.
It was mighty cold today. I did something ive never done before. I put on my thermals. I can only guess that it will get colder and colder and soon I will be riding in my rain gear!
I had an appointment in downtown Oakland in the middle of the day and I headed into the city tonight.
