Bike Rage

[stealth1]

This makes all bikers look bad. Bicyclers that is.

There are D-bags using all means of conveyance. The fact that this one was on a bicycle is simply coincidence. Maybe we're lucky he wasn't in a 4000lb car.

AND yet another reason my carry gun is always with me. The bike rider would have lost that gun-fight.

Not Hondas. You only meet the nicest people on a Honda.

Amen, and pass the ammunition.

Eventually that jerk is going to pull that **** on the wrong guy and he will learn about the "never bring a knife to a gun fight" scenario.

It couldn't happen too soon as far as I am concerned.

Around here a "50-60 year old guy" on a bicycle would be someone with a DUI. Can't drive so he rides a bike. Scum. ff

I think the general public can differentiate between the d-bag bicyclers that clog the road and the knife-wielding d-bag bicyclers on sidewalks. You need to grow thicker skin, he makes only 1/2 of yooze guys look bad

Be Good Be Safe,

Daniel

Desperately seeking Darwin is what I think of when I see folks like this. But I've had to help some very deserving car drivers see the error of their ways over the years, so I'll not cast a stone.

I once witnessed road rage by a motorcyclist. This was a long time ago, at a time when many cars had indicators that were little solenoid-operated illuminated flags that came out of the side of the car's B pillar.

One particular car was indicating to turn left, but his right-hand indicator had stayed out, presumably stuck.

Said motorcyclist, wanting to get by, obviously didn't know which side to overtake on, so he drew up to the left of the car and wrenched off the indicator arm, then dropped back, went to the right and wrenched off the right-hand arm. He then threw both of them through the drivers (open) window, and sped off.

I was riding my Tiger Cub a little way behind this little drama, and nearly fell off laughing. Of course, I was young then, and nobody got hurt.

Good story.

Reminded me of one.

When I was just learning to ride on my Honda 305 many years ago, I was following my more experienced friend on his X-6 Hustler.

Someone pulled out in front of him forcing him to take evasive action. He then rode up beside the car and kicked a big dent in the driver's door and took off.

I remember thinking "motorcycle riding could get dangerous" as I rode off in a different direction pretending that I had no idea who that other rider was.

Wow this brings up a recent incident...A sweet young texter in the lane next to me at a traffic light decided her need for possession of my lane was greater than my need, so she decided to flip on her turn signal and pull on over.

I was fortunate that I was looking at sweet young texter for the entertainment value (mine). As she continued to encroach, I banged on her window to get her attention. She looked up, frightened beyond belief, and jerked her wheel hard to the right while simultaneously slamming on her brakes. The car shook like a wounded whale and was so close to me that the car body bumped my leg and right side case. I was pissed....and lashed out with my right leg, impacting her door.

Let me tell you, a well placed kick with a size 14 boot leveraged off a 240 pound male can do some damage. And the sheet metal holding together a Hyundai Accent isn't much better than aluminum foil. Her door caved in like a rhino had run in to it. For about 17 nanoseconds, I felt guilty.
