I thought if you rearend someone, it's the following car's fault. Why were they following at such an unsafe distance? Why aren't bikes held to the same standard?

DrThompson, you're a funny guy.

"Dr. Thompson is found guilty"
First things I thought of was our very own DrThompson! Was gonna buy him a beer.

I believe that the car passed them and then slammed the brakes on....if you do that in a car to another car it is your fault, not the following car's fault.

Got a link to that article as this one doesn't state that? That's rich if he pulled that off.

Either way, they should've hit the brakes. Or was Dr Thompson in the "bike lane".

given that one of the pedal pushers broke the back window of the car, Id guess the speeds involved were fairly high, by bicycle standards.

Also, why I by no means condone trying to maim or kill somebody, we really dont have any info on what transpired before the incident, other than the fact that he tried to hit them once before. We all know some of the spandex militia can be pretty combative, and god only knows what kind of words, hand gestures, and the like went on before the cager decided to do something really stupid.

One other thing....if Im riding a bicycle down the street and a cager purposely tries to hit me, the last thing Id do would be to continue pedaling down that street. Id get off the road, get inside or somewhere the car couldnt get to me, and call the police.

either way, hardly warrants what this douche did. even if the cyclist was a raging asshole...drive away, give him the finger, call him what you want, shit... through him your meatball subway sammich, at most!

I remember this story clearly, particularly because of the graphic injury to one of the cyclists. He happens to live on a street in a exclusive neighborhood that is heavily populated with hikers and cyclists on the weekend, particularly July 4 when this occurred. I hope the good Dr. gets a good buggering in jail.

Do you expect a pack of spandex mafia members waiting for him in jail?

I'd imagine he'd be somewhat of a hero when he gets there.

There are NO heroes in jail/prison all meat is ripe for the humping! That in its self should be the greatest deterrent from ending up there. (pun intended)

Coincidentally I was riding "The Isle of Rocky" (Oakland / Berkeley hills) this weekend and (as always) as I approached a group of bike riders, I gave a brief "toot" of my horn. This was a group of 3 adult men in their Lance costumes, riding 3 abreast with the inside rider closer to the double yellow than the bike lane (there is a 2 ft. wide painted shoulder for bikes in this section) as I approached the rider closest to the center moved even further towards the center, stuck his left arm straight out to his left side, while flipping me off with said hand.......I lined him up, and as I passed him at about 70-80 mph, made sure his hand hit my armored shoulder. Final score; Armored shoulder = 1
Lance wanna be = 0

I'm sure he's on some bike chat board screaming about how I intentionally hit him (I DID!) but, alas, my bike doesn't rock a licence plate, so, oh well.....

The bicyclists' formation in the road is difficult to determine from the limited descriptions in the article. IF they were 3 traveling side-by-side-by-side and thus blocking cars.......they do not have my sympathy. Since the bicycle does not purchase gasoline (and thus pay taxes dedicated for roads), they are mooching from the car drivers' largese. The roads are not paid/maintained by revenues from bicyclists beyond a mere decimal_dust amount. When I ride the bicycle, I minimize my impediment to car drivers and pay attention to what happens behind me. After all, if there is an accident, the bicycle/motorcyclist may have been in the right, but in the world of cold hard physics, the 2-wheeler will lose. Maybe you think that is not fair, but physics trump trendy social utopian thinking. Traveling side by side and obstructing traffic is real stupid, yelling F You to those you annoy and mooch from is provocative....and someday some physics happens, such as when face meets windshield glass at speed.
I don't condone what happened, but be aware of what is going on and take precautions. Pay attention to what is going on behind you and take precautions.
