    Sad, but unfortunately true. We have had a couple issues like that here in Portland. One where the guy harassed bicyclists regularly. Such angry, dangerous people.

    Geez, where do you live that you can't believe that happened? The only unbelievable thing is that law enforcement is going to follow up. Slightly less unbelievable, though highly relieving, is that the driver didn't physically assault the riders.

    I used to live in Longmont and rode those roads all of the time without any problems. I guess I like to think that most people are nice and would not do that. That is my optimistic side that always gets crushed.

    I do believe most people are nice and mutually respectful. The problem is those few who are not so nice are so darn mean and dangerous about it.

    What's especially telling to me is that the driver sees these cyclists recording his/her behavior in a state with front plates and it isn't enough for him/her to cease being an asshat. Motorists have figured it out that they can get away with this sh!t...that's scary.
