Not with some drivers. They let that anger/hate simmer until they do something stupid. I’d guess that the vast majority of car/bike encounters are not reported (like mine, getting ‘nudged’ by a cab in Manhattan) as most are likely ‘small scale’ assaults. The guy that confronted me when I was a kid obviously simmered for a while over bikers ‘unfairly controlling his life’.
I set a PR on a local single track climb with my fat bike. Which really bothers me because I ride it all the time on my XC rig.
Maybe I should sell the XC bike and show up to the start line with 4.8" tires.
Speaking from experience fatbikes are great at climbing during a XCO - suck everywhere else and wear your body out by the end haha.
A fat bike passed me on the flat yesterday when I was doing 18mph, the rider wasn’t even pedalling 
natural progression of the argument that “wider is faster”. If it was, pro tour would be doing it on fat bikes 
I got a few KOM’s on a fat during this winter, downhill trails on a fat is the way to go heheheh
Had a guy actually pull my up for this once. Like it could make the slightest difference to him at all what socks I was wearing.
Walking around with massive tan lines on your shins is the bigger faux pas.
I was on a group ride years ago and there was someone on a fatbike that was keeping up with us, and was even pulling the group, into the wind. I felt so useless… 
Well, they aren’t going back to 19c, so in fact wider IS better.
That was probably Jan Heine
I was on a ride where a woman on a fixie dropped the group. Some didn’t know what to think. I was impressed…
TANGENT: Another ride had a PYT (Pretty Young Thing) join from the back, ride up through the group and drop us all in minutes. There were so many male egos crushed. I laughed. I missed her dropping us, but figured it was coming. She was using the group for recovery from the winds, and then brutally dropped it.
We’re basically starting over since the last approach got us so so close but not all the way there.
I don’t care how much hate I get, I can’t stand the feeling of socks that go over my ankles. I don’t ware them anytime, cycling included.
