There is definitely an element of Tribalism. But in my experience you have to maneuver to avoid cars coming into your space more often on a bike or motorcycle than you do in a car. Not that it is constant, but it's a one or two times a week vs a couple times a month in a car. You're just less visible since you're so much smaller. Not that loud exhaust is a good fix, haha.

    Back when I was riding regularly, I would start weaving back and forth in the lane whenever a car got to aggresive or started tailgating me. Just a gentle side to side bob.

    People get suprisingly far away from you when it looks like youre going to lose control of a 600lb projectile a couple of feet in front of them.
