Police said there was a group of about 20 bicyclists riding south on Chestnut from Belmont when an argument occurred between the bicyclists and the driver of the Dodge, a 23-year-old man.
The driver pulled to the side of the road and a fight occurred. After the brawl, the bicyclists continued riding on Chestnut.
Leibee said the Dodge purposely drove up onto the west sidewalk and struck the two teenagers. Leibee said the driver backed up, then pulled forward, and continued to drive south on Chestnut and he appeared to purposely strike the man on a bicycle, who was riding south in the bike lane.
After the collisions, Leibee said the driver was physically assaulted by several bicyclists. He suffered minor injuries and was also taken to the hospital.
The driver of the Dodge was arrested on suspicion of three counts of assault with a deadly weapon (vehicle). He’ll be booked into Fresno County Jail once he’s cleared from the hospital.

We need common sense bike control.
You can own a bicycle so long as you store it at an approved velodrome, where you may also ride it.

Boulder, Co. will NOT comply. Power to the people!
I’m sure the cyclist was being totally reasonable. /Sarc
The article is confusing, but it’s safe to assume, given the number of cyclists involved, that the cyclists weren’t staying in the bike lane.
These could be spandexters, or maybe “yutes.” Either way bad attitudes prevail.
It was police profiling! They pulled over everyone driving on the sidewalk and hitting teenagers that day. Profiling is wrong!

It is my experience that most cyclists are #H#les.
just saying.
I carry a pistol on my bike.
