I'm not sure what the typical cyclist does on this road, as opposed to Brunelle, because I'm not familiar with the area or the laws in that state.
If that road were in my city, I would have been riding on the shoulder, and passing cars, (maybe not at the speed he's going), and that van right hooked him. And Lucas was nice about it.

unapologetic necro...
Anyone ever hear what happened in the criminal case against the cab driver Sam Chandler? Or if Brunelle was ever sued by the woman he hit?
I noticed that Brunelle is still posting riding videos (apparently he's now in Miami). Can't find any news about the Chandler case beyond the bail hearing in November of 2014.

$1,000....All the cab driver would have to do is get a bunch of long distance cab fares from Logan International Airport and he would be able to pay the fine easy.
BUT HE COMMITTED ATTEMPTED MURDER!!! Does the judge care, no!!!!

$1000 was the bail, not a fine. Unless you've found the ruling in the case. If so, please provide a link.

Not condoning the incident...
But San Diego does a "Midnight Madness Bike Ride" each year...

Part of the fun is how outrageously you light yourself... and wearing of pajamas...

The media reports newsy stuff, never the boring judicial plodding (unless of course, the accused is a celebrity). If you want to find out what happened, look for online court records.

That's a valid point, but I wouldn't say 'never'. Court rulings are commonly reported in the news. But maybe not for a case of a bicyclist hitting a woman and a cabbie beating the snot out of him.

Other than the cab driver's assault of a kid who ran a light and hit a pedestrian I can't figure out what the thread is about yet. Excitable Boy, they all said?
Riders In The Sky told me you don't hit people, even if they did something wrong, it's not the Cowboy Way.

The cyclist seems pretty reckless based on his "urban race" videos. But nevertheless, he did the right thing by stopping when he hit someone and trying to get help. And fortunately it sounds like the pedestrian wasn't seriously hurt. The cabbie was the one who acted criminally and deserves his punishment. I hope that the cyclist takes a lesson, not from the beating, but from the fact that he's putting pedestrians at risk. If he had really injured or killed someone then I think his own videos would be enough to throw the book at him.
