Nope. Mostly honking and one case of being told I was a bastard. I live in the city, though, and people are used to bikes.

If someone threw something at me, the police would have the license plate number so fast it'd be scary. Littering is a $500 fine.

That'd be assault, on top of littering.

It does sound like things are better in the city. It's sad to see so many commenters have experienced it though.
