He also seems to do everything he can to be killed by a car just because
he 
thinks he can mix with car traffic and "own the road  no matter how much 
slower he is or how much he tries to cause a car accident to prove his 
point.  He is obviously the attacker, not the other people.

His comments on being attacked are pure fantasy in his mind, not reality. 
You are correct, nobody cares enough to care.   They are probably trying
to 
not hit him as he does things that could put them in an accident hitting 
another car.

I know I sometimes have to drive in a way that increases my danger in
order 
to avoid hitting bike riders on narrow mountain roads in the Bay Area.
