Duck on Wheels

That's a headline in one of the Norwegian daily papers this morning. Apparently this guy kept pulling up along side her, pointing angrily towards the bike path, and then edging his truck over to push her off the road. She tailed him when he turned off, then confronted him. "Were you trying to kill me back there?!" To which the guy replied "Yeah! And you should only know how many cyclists I've pushed off the road and left lying in a pool of blood." So she called the cops on him.
She explains to the public that she avoids bike paths because it would be dangerous to other cyclists to have her there at the speeds she rides. What she doesn't explain, or the journalist doesn't report, is that cyclists have the same rights to be on the road as other vehicles, except on minimum speed highways.
