The funny thing about being a cyclist is it's pretty easy to tell the people who can't stand that you have the right to be on the road just by their subtle driving behavior.
Back in Iowa when I was training I used to get beer bottles thrown at me. Here they usually just yell like asshats or buzz you. Most people don't even see the bikes, or if they do can't believe that you're really doing 28mph on the flat and pull out right in front of you anyway.
It also irks me to see cyclists running lights when they don't need to and riding fast on crowded paths. If you're serious get on the road where you belong and ride responsibly.
That being said, remember that RI passed a 3' law a few years ago. If you can't give a cyclist a wide berth you have to wait until the oncoming traffic allows it...BY LAW.
