Default Cyclist arrested for taking the lane

Gimme a hint. How did you come up with that subject line based on the
newspaper article? The guy was arrested for shooting the driver.


Here's how. The driver of the vehicle crowded the cyclist, and when the
cyclist responded with a gesture of disapproval, the driver, instead of just
driving off turned around and threatened the cyclist who was forced to
defend himself. The driver then, once again, tried to run the cyclist down
with his vehicle. The whole problem,
from the hillbilly's point of view, is that this cyclist was on HIS road
taking up HIS LANE!

DO YOU RIDE? Do you have any idea how many dumb**** hillbillies in pickup
trucks have no regard for the rules of the road and intentionally try to
harm cyclists? (I do because it has happened to me.)


You ignored my question. The cyclist was arrested for shooting the
truck driver, not for taking the lane. Whether he was justified in
shooting the driver will be up to the courts to decide.

Yes, I ride. I have a lot less trouble with guys in pickumup trucks
than I do with self-important Stepford wives in SUVs or gangsta
wannabees in Honda Civics.
