Cyclists are aggressive towards drivers because our lives are constantly being threatened by people who don't seem to realize the potential deadliness of their cars. I doubt that you're one of those people, but it's not hard to get oversensitive about this, especially when you've just come within inches been killed by some frazzled commuter or a stoned kid talking on their phone. Personally, I tend not to antagonize people in cars because it's unlikely to accomplish much.

And as for biking on the sidewalk, apart from often being illegal (I know it was in Portland, don't know about SF), it's actually more dangerous for both the cyclist and pedestrians. Sidewalks aren't maintained very well and people walking around are even more oblivious than drivers.
