I commuted about 9 miles to work for almost 8 months but gave up on it for these reasons. In the US cycling is social acceptable for children and recreationally for adults. These aren't all rednecks in trucks, either. I remember an instance where a Prius intentionally ran me off the road, cursing at me. In the spur of the moment, I yelled back, "My vehicle is greener!".
