Count me as part of that demographic! I got hit head on by an old geezer who decided he didn't want to wait his turn to turn onto a cross street, so he went around the guy that was correctly waiting at the intersection and he ran into me head on. My wheel got bent and I got thrown off, though nothing super serious. I have had a driver throw things at me while yelling "get on the sidewalk!" and another deranged maniac get within inches of my back wheel while riding on Grand St because he didn't like being behind a bicycle.
