Mountain biker attacker on North Table

[Aloha_Shooter]

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.

He describes the runner as wearing a "COM' or "COR" shirt. A "COR" shirt could be Colorado Obstacle Racers" a group of folks who do a lot of trail running.

The damage to his bike seems like something more server than if it was thrown 30ft down a "slope."





I don't think there is any way the marks on his back could be from a kick.

The alleged runner's story seems way more plausible and I'm sure it's a mix of both.

The cyclist's skin scrapes look much more like a crash to me (with the addition of some possible later "enhancement" to the neck area) . It makes way more sense that the two had words and maybe some minor altercations. And a dirt throw leading to a crash sounds like it could be legit too. It's easier to believe someone who is willing to admit that both parties exchanged "pleasantries" over the guy who says "I was minding my own business being perfect and just got jumped by a mean guy."

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

Both runner AND the biker should get public lashing.

LOL so much supposition and assumption in this thread. Lots of blaming the victim. Its pathetic.

[davsel]

Claiming you are a victim does not necessarily make it so.

I'm glad to see that this thread has turned around. Looking at all the "evidence" (we don't know that any of it is real), I'd say the runner has a much better reason for kicking the other guy's ass than vice versa.

Those marks don't look all that bad. I thought the biker said he got thrown on his back and choked or something, so I had thought the straight lines on the back were from landing on the bike frame or a rock. Either way it doesn't matter because he's probably 99% healed by now.

Claiming you are a victim does not necessarily make it so.

We have no idea how he was dressed though to make a judgement on whether he was just asking for it or not.

You want to put someone on a pedestal every time they say someone was mean to them and they got a boo-boo? Guess what, less than half are being honest with you, are you are contributing to a societal problem. Shit happens in life, you deal with it quietly, grow up and learn from it if you're an adult.

If you're a narcissistic little crybaby bitch,you try to get the media to share a tear with you and setup a gofund me and write about the horrors on your blog - and then realize it works so well you just as well should fabricate circumstances or outright stories. I don't have respect for this type of crap, nor do I respect the ones giving sympathy. Your pity is the weapon that these dick-heads use to exploit other people. YOUR pity exploits OTHER people. Perhaps you should be more frugal in providing it. I respect adults that deal with their problems like adults. I don't respect "I can't pay my car payment I need gofundme", "I was an asshole but I'll write this in a way to get sympathy and gofundme". etc. etc.

Fuck this attention whore in spandex for going online with his alleged, exaggerated and/or fabricated issue, and every person like him.

PS: It honestly doesn't matter if it did happen or didn't. The modern reaction is that of a child, not an adult.

"Men" in spandex are asking for it.
