“It all began when an articulated truck...”
I like a well-spoken truck.

‘Bike geeks are insane.’
They ARE! I live on an Ironman race route. All spring and summer we have to put up with those spandexed doofuses hogging the country roads.
And when the race is underway I cannot get to work - all of the roads I need to use are CLOSED; you can’t get there from here.

They’ve gotten that way. I rode, raced, and was in the bike business from the mid 70’s until the mid 90’s... my approach was to ride so cars didn’t have to slow down to get around me, or even think of me.
I’ve also had 3 cycling friends put in the ground by idiots, and it wasn’t their fault.

Hey check our cool name brand bicycle gear!
To: nickcarraway
I'm not hardcore by any means, but I frequently do 30 milers on the road bike. Still, I would be willing to do jail time for running my truck over a be-cleated, spandexed, gear queer a-hole like this, and back up over his twitching corpse - for the good of humanity.
The 95% give the rest of us a bad name.

True.
But there are idiots who need their CDLs revoked and if the facts are as reported this was one.
A better solution for the bystander would have been to summons traffic enforcement to write the brain dead trucker a ticket so that his employer would know to fire him. In the medium and long run that makes the road safer.

I’ll have no truck with an inarticulate truck.

Mooooslim immigrant/invader?? Dang, some people never stop seeing Muslims under their beds.
All the bike geeks I've ever seen are white males.
