I know road rage and street violence is not a joking matter...but every once in a while it's nice to see someone taken to the wall.

Around here it's normally the ENTITLED punks on a motorcycle that give cycling a bad name. 

Thank you,

    It was horrible when I lived in Greensboro. It was like the peloton at the Tour d' France. 50-100 cyclists in each group.

    That cyclist looked like he was trying to get out of the way!

    Fortunately, I live in a place where I can ride on roads like this. Cars usually pass me at least halfway into the oncoming lane.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Don't get any ideas, Darian ! 

    I wonder why the Jeep didn't get off into the grass after getting rammed once or twice.

    Have you seen the new one where Chuck Norris kicks the back end of a car out?
    http://www.cbsnews.com/news/video-motorcyclists-road-rage-kick-touches-off-2-car-crash/

    The people videoing reported that the car went over into the motorcycle guy's lane and almost hit him. They had words while driving on the highway and then the car tried to do it again on purpose. That is what we are seeing in the video.
    The guy in the car was not charged with anything and the cops are looking for the guy on the motorcycle. The guy in the white truck went to the hospital and was treated for minor injuries.

    There was also this guy driving through a protest on his motorcycle. He did not hit anyone but he did turn around to do it a second time.

    I'm an occasional motorcyclist, and an observer of asphalt universe, that which I can see, and I concur a disproportionate number of motorcyclists are as5holes. 

    This fact has nothing to do with being a motorcyclist in a causal sense,  It has everything to do with the faux "I have a shriveled up member, huge beer gut, hate the world, so I'm going to be a non-conformist with about 20 million other a-holes that feel the same way and be a bad ass on a bike".

    Oh, and James Dean.

    I tend to ride one those types of roads in SECT also Michael. It is also nice that state law requires drivers to maintain at least 3' of clearance when passing cyclists.

    I watched that video the other day and fail to see how the driver of the car wasn't cited. I'm not saying the biker didn't do anything wrong but clearly it seems the driver attempted to run the biker over after he kicked at the car door.

    I completely agree. It's not like the kick to the car would have caused the wreck. Looks like the car swerved at the motorcycle trying to cause him to wreck. Maybe they are waiting to get a statement from the biker or see if he wants to press charges.
