Wow, I can't believe how many people on a cycling forum are responding in agreement with the driver, or even implying that somehow blocking a road deserves getting assaulted by a car.

I think all this protest crap is stupid, but if some asswipe is tailgating me, I'm also not going to bail out of his way because I don't enjoy enabling people to continue acting like pricks.

Of course, if the dude was on my foot like that, I would have most likely grabbed my lock out of my pocket and started smashing the **** out of his face. Seeing as how a lot of you think "able to do so" means the same thing as "justified in doing so," the crater left in the guy's head where his face used to be shouldn't be a problem, right?
