What if the pedestrian is just a bitter angry person? What if they’re both wrong? What if the pedestrian has a vendetta against bikes and yells each time they see them? You don’t know the story. It doesn’t make this assault right, but y’all are sooooo quick to act like you were there at the scene when you have absolutely no idea how things went down.

Even though this incident has NOTHING to do with the way someone rides a bike as this is a DELIBERATE assault on someone, I just feel the need to say that half the reason cyclists ride so aggressively is because 90% of the time you’re literally fighting for your life against miserable cagers that recognize automobiles as the ONLY means of transportation. Y’all don’t understand what it’s like out there. If you’re passive you’re at much more of a risk. An angry honking car has admitted to seeing you. If they hit you it’s on purpose. A distracted driver(maybe every single one of you?) isn’t gonna see you all the way over in the bike lane. Grow up. Slow down. Enjoy your $50,000 cars. There is literally no need to be going over 20 mph in Boston or Cambridge.
