I believe smn. I have cycled extensively throughout Greater Vancouver, with 98% of it right in the city, and it's been my experience that the further away from Georgia & Granville I get, the more hostile drivers tend to be against cyclists on the road. North Van - Yelled at with profanity for simply being on the road Surrey - Car accelerated towards me and swerved away at last minute Maple Ridge - Cup of ice water thown at me from moving car (they missed) Chilliwack - Handful of pennies thrown at me (they didn't miss!) Terrace - Yelled at for blocking traffic (WTF??? Terrace doesn't even HAVE traffic!) In Vancouver the aggression doesn't get much worse than the occasional horn honk. -- K.
