I loved the blank face of the driver when the cyclist said "why don't you just back up if you knew I was there" you could almost see the smoke coming out from his combustion engine in his head.

A bus driver managed to cut up 3 cyclist in about 300 metres, each time was completely pointless as well, Humphhh...

How come nobody thinks to record the plates of these a*shole`s and file police reports? Trying to run a cyclist off the road with a lethal weapon is attempted murder...

Maybe all cyclists should carry a gun ?
atleast 2 just to be safe!, also a .50 handgun will penetrate an engine block and could help stop many hit and runs...
I like the idea and plan to when I'm old enough but I'd like to see you try to shoot a larger CSL hand gun while riding I'd do. 357 mag at most

I had one the other day, I was riding on my SS roadie, guy in a truck passes me, while i'm near the curb, and without any sort of signal or anything he turns right in front of me into an intersection. He KNEW I was there. I flipped him the bird, but I don't think he saw.
