You guys insist on thinking the worst of these cyclist. They are not the felons, the crazy motorist is the one with a felony record.
Yeah, the cyclists didn't exhibit the most impressive street smarts, but their errors pale in comparison with the driver's behavior. It's one thing to point out that the folks on bikes could have handled the situation more skilfully. It's quite another to even imply that they are somehow responsible for the attack.
And there will be witnesses, almost certainly.
