damn, helmet saves you..
-
have you got any response from the police?
-
lol
-
+1 for helmets! Maybe a rear facing wide angled camera would also be a good investment?
-
I have had this happen to me.Wow you guys are lucky in a way, it ended my cycling abilities destroying both my knees, I already had a titanium fused lumbar region in my back from breaking it years earlier and that got worse too (as in always in pain). Hit and run for me too police were no help at all. I hope you guys never have to face this again, and they caught your attempted murderer.
-
So what happened to the driver????
-
whoa attempted murder alright!! you guys were on your lane, and the black car should not have even got close to you guys. That almost seems like it was on purpose. I sure hope the cops caught the idiot that was driving, take away his/her license and put him /her behind bars so he/she can learn the lesson!! what a moron! glad you guys are OK
-
What is the latest update please?
-
wonder why people hate bicyclists so much I mean yeah the assholes who ride in the middle of the lane are annoying but damn this was a little overboard!
-
To see the action just go to 2:38 and skip the scenery. You're welcome.
-
Im stunned,both by the video as it was clearly deliberate. And by some of the reactions by posters on this page. Glad you both appear to be ok, and I hope that the local police pursue a prosecution. I was hit by a delivery van driver last year, when I yelled out a couple of choice cusses at him he slammed on his brakes blocking the road, got out and then punched me.
-
Please keep us updated on the case I hope that bastard gets wot they deserves I couldn't see the license plate you could put it up on the net.
-
Good thing they got him.
-
So what happened? Curious to know if the cops ever did anything.
-
It seems like all the other cars are passing at a very large distance from the bikes (which in turn seem to be on some kind of bike path area). The guy either deliberately slammed into them or he was not paying attention (texting or something). That combined with his asshole personality to not check if the guys were all right is a pretty good recipe for a conviction. I'm a driver and a biker and I do know shit happens but this was totally avoidable. I hope he gets it bad.
-
If you could only see its license plate. Hopefully you guys are okay. Also I hate drivers like those.
-
Stop w the racist comments! It was a black Acura Integra. The driver is White. He tried to report the car stolen but the police didn't buy it. He is held and charged.
-
It looked like the car did it on purpose. Why are motorists so threatened by cyclists? Ooh it takes a lot of guts to be a Dick while you're sitting in your air conditioned cars.
-
Please can we get an update. This guy better of got a serious charge
-
The Integra was obviously gunning for these two guys. It was NOT an accidental sideswipe. The perp is now pretending his car was "stolen" at the time of the accident. Obviously an evil-doer...... Wow. This guy needs to be behind bars before he harms someone else. And NEVER let him drive again.
