Crazy driver harasses cyclists in Boulder

[00tec]

Yeah, great, he's honking his horn. That's not the same as exploding or needing anger management counseling. Frankly, the cyclists in question should have pulled off the road and let him pass which is probably why he was honking. There would have been no issue at all if they done that instead of slowing down and taking the time to video him.

Most of you and the cyclists think he was a prick for leaning on his horn. He clearly thought THEY were pricks for not pulling off and giving him a safe legal passing option. They were in a single no-passing lane intended for motorized vehicle traffic -- the fact they didn't have a bike lane is irrelevant since they chose that path.

To advert confusion, Ford Explorer = Exploder.

I don't ride a bike and hate the huge packs you get on the mountain roads sometimes. But screw that dumbass in the suv, they themselves obstructing traffic and being an obnoxious ass. There wasn't oncoming traffic to speak of and could have passed without even crossing the line. Somethings wrong with your head if you think that twat was justified.

what a dick

Its clear the driver was trying to rush poor little Jimmy to the hospital, after Jimmy had been bit by a deadly snake - and these mean bicyclists were just in the way trying to slow him down.... Jimmy died before they could make it to the ER.


...or was that an episode of 'Tales from the Crypt'.. I can't remember.

What happened BEFORE the video was started?

Guy driving should have his license suspended. I bet if he was charged, most juries would nail him. Just for your info *277 is the hotline to the Colorado State Patrol. Link below...

Why stop there? Let's try to get the guy imprisoned for life or executed.

Seriously? License suspension for honking your horn? Get a grip people.

What happened before the video started rolling? We don't know that. If the bicyclists were that offended they could have simply pulled off, stopped and let the guy pass. I know if I was in a car doing 15mph in a 55mph zone and someone was blasting their horn for 2min I wouldn't think 'Wow, what an idiot' instead I would think 'Wow, I'm really holding traffic up' and feel guilty. That's not saying these guys are holding up traffic since the guy could obviously pass (even though technically illegal to pass on a double yellow) but at the same time when there isn't a designated bike path they are to be treated like any other motor vehicle. This means that you legally can NOT pass in a double yellow. In a car if you were only able to go 15mph in a 55mph zone and cars wanted to pass wouldn't you pull off the road and let them by at some point?

I especially like the like 'He made other motorists pass on a double yellow' uhm.... no. Nobody made them break the law but if anyone made them do anything it was the bicyclists who were holding up traffic, not the buy in the Explorer. After all, by law, it was them who was impeding traffic. The guy in the Explorer was obeying traffic laws. In situations like this where it appears as though everyone involved is being a douche I tend to side with the law which is pretty clear in this case.

'Sharing' the road is a two-way street and if bicyclists want motorists to share the road then they need to do the same thing. Bicyclists want motorists to be considerate yet many of them don't want to be considerate of motorists.

THIS! Biggest problem, especially here in Evergreen. They act like they're a special caste of people.

Lol that video was actually pretty funny. I effing hate bicyclists on 2 lane roads. I generally try to leave them in a big black cloud of diesel smoke every time I pass them with my truck.
