It wasn't the bike that hit my daughter adn then proceeded to cuss me out. It was the rider being an A$$ going that fast on that road. If it were a car I would have heard it and been able to get my kid out of the way. But him being on a bike made a world of diff. I didn't hear him till it was too late. If he had been paying attention there was plenty of room to go around us.

But I still don't think all cyclist are A-holes.


just trying to add a diff perspective is all.

I'm in no way sticking up for that cyclist. Just the opposite. What he did was completely wrong. What I have a problem with is that you kicked a human being while he was down. Where's the humanity? Did you do it because he was cussing you out afterwards? When I broke my leg I was cussing out the EMTs because of the intense pain! He may have been a complete idiot for doing what he did to cause the injury, but you made yourself just as worse for attacking him.
