So what's an appropriate reaction to the guy being a dick? One of the problems we have is that those people continue to be dicks because there's no feedback to convince them they shouldn't be. And yes, I do agree that the guy was, since there was no good reason other than inattention and stupidity for him standing in the bike trail, in traffic, rather than moving just a few feet and being out of the way.
He's so caught up in his own gak that he doesn't see how he created a situation in which other people would be angry and retaliatory. So other than smacking him on the side of the head and hanging up his phone call and explaining to him why you beat him, what's a person to do?
Ignoring it is not a good answer. For the most part, we do that, and it's a recipe for getting more of the same. Which is unpleasant at best.
