I heard this on the radio on my way home this evening. I'm glad they got the license plate number of that scumbag.

Redwood City Truck Driver May Have Aimed for Cyclists
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (KCBS) -- The CHP is investigating a possible road rage incident in Redwood City, where a pickup truck driver allegedly tried to run a group of cyclists off the road over the weekend.
Four cyclists were riding downhill on Skyline near Skylonda on Saturday morning at about 35 miles per hour, when a driver in a white Dodge or Chevy pickup truck allegedly tried to knock them off their bikes.
”I’m pretty banged up, so it’s been slow getting up and getting to work in the morning,” said team captain Anthony Borba, who was knocked off his bike. “My neck is pretty injured, I’m having trouble turning my head.”
A motorcyclist was able to chase the truck down and write down a license plate number.
Borba said that the incident gave them pause because two members of their team, Kristy Gough and Matt Peterson were killed last year in Cupertino when a Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Deputy accidentally hit them with his patrol car.
