I’ve been biking for over a decade through the East End, Northside, downtown and more. I have never had any experience close to what you mentioned. In fact, many times drivers will wave me to “go” when I’m not turning or anything. Interesting how we’ve had such opposite experiences.

I’ve also lived more north (MA, NH) and find it much worse up there, so maybe that contributes as well, not sure. I feel super comfortable biking here.
