That'll teach 'em to keep bikes off the road and on the trails where they belong!

I think a better course of action may have been to get the number of the bus and call in a police report...

There are a ton of cyclists in L.A., you'd think that it would be a more bike-friendly city, but no.

At least here in Chicago the mayor is pushing for cyclist safety, but I'm still tired of picking my brother up form the hospital all the time. Last time he ended up on a hood of the car and broke the windshield, the suspended license, mehican bitch had the nerve to ask my brother how he would go about paying for the damage. Thank god the cop on the scene biked to work everyday as he set her straight.

At least the city has a lot of bike lanes, though there are plenty of idiots who will try to get around traffic by squeezing their car down them. On the other hand, I live along Sheridan road with four lanes and not enough space bikes, and has signs telling bikers to use the lanes a block west. But there are still spandex clad morons who block up a whole land of that road thinking they have a right to be there. Combine that with the fact a lot of them ignore stop signs and I can't say I feel a lot of sympathy for either. Personally I prefer inline skates, and I use the lakefront trails.

I've put many a cyclists life on the edge (of my foot) coz they zipped through a stop sign. Lucky for them I stopped only coz I knew no one was behind me.

When cops are taking care of business I can understand
But the L.A. story's gone way out of hand Their acts of aggression, they say they're justified But it seems an obsession has started from the inside They're shooting anyone who even tries to run They're shooting little kids with toy guns Take it to a jury but they don't give a damn Because the one who tells the truth is always the policeman Beat all the n*****s Beat whoever you see Don't need a reason (We're) L.A.P.D. |

I was riding across a bridge one time on the sidewalk and some yahoo decided it would be funny to come at me with the car door open hanging over the sidewalk leaving me nowhere to go. I had to bail off the bike and hug the rail of the bridge not to get hit.

Kidding aside, I would have pressed assault charges for sure. |

It's illegal to ride on the sidewalk in most cities.

Parking in front of the bus and calling the police was a dumbass move. Write down the bus number, call in a police report. Doi. sitting in front of a bus, holding up busy city traffic = greater "crime" then startling a bike-riding vagina |

Is transit not run by the city just like the police? Definitely where I am the popo lets the transit folks get away with A LOT of stuff. Running red lights, aggressive driving, etc. But then we have cases of stupid drivers not letting buses go ahead of them as well.

Yeah, bike guy lost his temper and paid the price. Don't call police just call MTA and lodge a complaint.

Entitled cyclists are worse than entitled drivers sometimes.

Exactly what I was thinking. Get the plate number and try to get the names of any witnesses then report it. The cops still should done something with the driver too though.

A bus driver here actually ran over a cyclist here while turning into the bus yard and didn't get arrested.
The dude was returning to the yard after being in a an accident with another car (also his fault) when he made a left turn directly into the rider. He had also been in two other at-fault TC's that year. He was fired, but no criminal charges. |
