This is from a regularly scheduled Everglades Bike Club weekend ride in Key Biscayne, USA, on a 10km stretch of road, and all the drivers know to expect it will be there in the mornings.

Exactly, you get met with threats of vehicular assault.

    Blocking someone or yelling at them isn't a threat of violence, its just assholish behavior.

    But moving your car in a manner to threaten bodily harm if they're to pass, outside of normal operation, is assault or intimidation depending on where you do it.

    Eh, I never interpreted it as a threat, only "If I can't go because of traffic, neither can you! Riding on the lines is illegal!".

    I know bicyclists who have been pushed into the shoulder by assholes, that is threatening, but just getting in someone's way to lower them to your level is merely childish behavior.
