Crazy Driver Tries to Kill My Teammate

Is it just me? It seems like there are more road-rage incidents today than even just a year ago.

I just don't understand the hate filled angry people. This, the Mandaville Canyon, the traffic circle in Seattle just to name a few, it makes me wonder about our collective psyche of our society.

Maybe its a very tiny segment of our society where they can not differentiate reality from violent movie and video games and have become so detached from reality or so desensitized from vilolence that they are capable such aggression.

And I was lucky yesterday with road-rage filled SUV driver who deliberately tried to ram her huge SUV into my car on 405 Fwy. She missed. whew!

That is a terrifying thought.

Just read this.
So scary... my man is out on the road for 3-4 hours 5-6 days a week... I hate knowing there are people like this who just do not think "normally".

Cat, I'm with Jocelyn... that is a truly chilling thought.

OMG I just saw the photo of the destroyed bike! Sickmaking is an excellent word for it. Yikes!

Sending butterflies to all the cyclists to protect them from the crazies, and to all the crazies so they will calm down and not think of cyclists as targets!

Here's a photo of the bike damage. He really is lucky not to have been seriously injured.

This is kind of a disturbing thought, but I think what got to me the most about that picture was not the smashed bike, but the smashed bottle and the water around it, and how easily that could have been blood instead. *shudder*

Thank goodness he was able to unclip and get out of the way...
