Ya know what, he'll just get a slap on the wrist and be told to play nice

I hope all the Auckland roadies training for the Round Taupo keep safe..

That's sick. That poor man. And his friends. I hope they catch the driver, and quickly.

What everyone else said~

Have you been following the trial of the dr. who targeted cyclists in CA? Check it out on VeloNews. He said he "wanted to teach them a lesson"...

IFJane: That's what I think happened with this guy in the white ute. I think he started out intending to 'teach cyclists a lesson" then he obviously took it too far and now he's hiding out somewhere in Auckland hopefully freaking out. The police have a list of vehicles matching the description and are slowly making their way through it. They'll catch him eventually.

In the meantime I went out with my usual pack on Saturday and found everyone to be a lot more polite than usual. Perhaps all the publicity here in NZ around car v cyclists is giving a few drivers food for thought.
