zen-like peacefulness towards drivers?

The fixpert says:

My goal these days is not to be combative with drivers. My goal is to be a compelling image of fun for drivers to see and long for. When drivers see me riding, I want them to say “That looks like fun! I should get a bike!” The more cyclists on the road, the better. My ultimate vision of utopia is this: no cars, nothing but bikes and pedestrians. A pipe-dream perhaps, but I know that spitting on windshields won’t get me any closer to that vision.

Yes, drivers still constantly do stupid and dangerous stuff, but I feel much less angry now that I don’t participate in all of the spitting, yelling, etc that I used to do. As a result I’m safer when I ride, and I think I’m getting more enjoyment from the riding itself. It’s a different kind of enjoyment, more like a healthy and sustainable long-term romance, rather than a tumultuous lusty affair. They both have their place, but I haven’t been hit by a lit cigarette in a long time.

Messenger of Doom says: I like your attitude; I like it a lot. Like you, I am a driver as well as a cyclist. I love driving at times; I also understand how boring and frustrating it can be sometimes. But until every driver shows some zen-like peacefulness to cyclists instead of running them over, bollox to ‘em!

Personally, I eagerly await the day when handlebar-mounted firearms are made legal for cyclists. MURDAH! KILL’EM!
