Mountain biker attacker on North Table

As to the topic:
Pic does not look like he was repeatedly punched in the face.
The marks on his neck, taken much later, appear freshly enhanced - the mark on his back does not have the additional pale redness surrounding it like his neck.
Guy is a bicycle blogger of some sort = has a good story to tell.

From his blog, "drunkcyclist.com":

Perhaps the bicycle rider should invest in some self defense training and some protein powder.

I thought the exact same thing.

Question for the cyclists here, mountain or road. How many of you have bells on your bike? How about your riding buddies? Serious question.

I'm not a cyclist but there are a number in my office. A few ride to work every single day. They are serious. None have bells on their bikes. I understand how it might be useful, but the only bells I have seen on any bike in quite some time are on the Hello Kity and Frozen bikes in my garage...

If http://drunkcyclist.com/2017/03/28/t...etting-stompd/ is indeed the full cyclist's side of the story, then it appears to me we "have a failure to communicate" -- especially when taken with what's purported to be the runner's side of the story because they don't match and neither one seems complete. The runner's side of the story doesn't address the oncoming cyclist or his warning that someone wanted to pass and the fact that apparent witnesses seemed to come forward wanting to help the cyclist catch the runner indicates to me that others felt the runner's conduct was unwarranted.

OTOH, the cyclist's account does give an impression of a self-entitled s--t and his pictures of his injuries ...





... c'mon, really? Those abrasions along his back look like the bike frame to me -- certainly doesn't look like anyone's fist or foot. For that matter, where's the bruising that comes from the kind of beating he described? I see abrasions but I don't see the usual dark purplish bruising I would expect from fists and shoes.

At this point, I'm going to retract anything I said on the cyclist's behalf and suggest both parties need to go on "Judge Judy" and get reprimanded for acting like kids.

And here's the cyclist's self-description. Sounds like a great guy. Malt liquor, strip clubs and mommy. Awesome.

A fan of riding bikes with one gear, malt liquor, riding without knowing how many miles I’ve covered, and strip clubs that let you bring your own keg. I typically have a stupid grin on my face, it is because deep down I know that no matter what, my mom thinks I’m cool. Denver, Colorado, USA
