Hey there!
One more time, I'm promoting my old survival strategy: wave to an imaginary friend! If you've got an aggressive pick-up truck or SUV approaching, and there are plausible households along the road you are riding, look up and wave and nod your head as if you are greeting a neighbor! Then watch the passing vehicle go to the opposite berm while it passes you. This is because, in their mind, somebody is watching!
This does not work when you are surrounded by corn fields and or the woods of northern Maine, but the ploy can be quite handy in the well populated rural areas.
I did this 3 times in a 2 minute stretch today and it worked every time.
