from the denver post, may 6, 2008:
Six days after a friend of hers was struck and killed by a mail truck while riding his bike on West 32nd Avenue near Golden, Denver bicyclist Shelby Katz was nearly run off the road by someone driving a lawn-maintenance truck.
Katz believes the driver deliberately tried to frighten her and says motorists are getting "meaner and meaner" when confronted by cyclists.
"They honk at you, they think it's funny if they swerve into you — not intending to hit you, but intending to scare you," Katz said. "They're spitting on you, they're yelling at you, they're throwing things at you. I had a boyfriend who got a Big Mac thrown on him. That is just disgusting, it's horrible and rude, and it's not right."
