Agree with you on this. That was very ******y of those cyclists. It shows that they were actually scared of him and when he got back in his car they acted all macho kicked with their little clips.. lame. I would not follow suit based on this video. Gives a bad rep to cyclists.
The problem is...there is little chance that guy will get his bike replaced. Look at it this way, even if they could have sued him for $1 million and won, he doesn't have it (more than likely). Nothing from nothing is nothing. If it were me, I couldn't care less if the guy does jail time vs me getting a new $5000+ bike to replace the one I dropped big $$ on. In the end, the old man does time and the cyclist gets it in the ass financially. I'm sure that at the time, the was thinking "You wreck my bike? I ruin your truck."
Right, wrong...doesn't matter, I'd be tempted to do the same thing...
