So because some idiot on a bike scratched your car or because a group of cyclists held you up for a fifteen seconds, you think that somehows justifies assault with a deadly weapon? Yeah, I know that YOU wouldn't ever run a cyclist off the road...

Let's turn this around. Cyclists are pretty regularly put up with idiots in cars yelling at them, throwing things at them, passing close by them, running them off the road, and evening running over them. So next time a cyclist passes a little too closely and scratches your car, realize there is a reason.

It's all a matter of perspective.
