I have had a phone book thrown at me (among other things) while cycling and this is in California, USA.

Lot of angry people live in this country; when they are driving cars it really comes out.

Of all the places I've lived, California was the absolute worst as far as anti-cycling sentiment is concerned. While riding to work, I'd regularly have people roll down their windows to yell abuse at me. This was outside Sacramento; I can't speak to the rest of the state. Where I live now, I occasionally get yelled at, and I've had people roll coal on me, but it's less frequent.
