I have cultivated a blood-curdling scream in response
to those motorists who violate my right-of-way while
I'm on my bicycle.  It is an honest expression of the
terror I feel, serves some of the purpose of a horn,
and attempts to instill in the motorist some sense of
the effect of his action on others.  My scream had to
be learned: my natural reaction is to silently try to
get out of harm's way as quickly as possible.  I still
do the latter, but accompanied by the former.
