I understand but there was already some tensions between the cyclist and the motor drivers in that city I am not in any way defending the doctors actions. I also find some bicyclist act like they own the road.
So, I would come home from work, and get behind these people on bikes,riding abreast, on a road with no sidewalk or escape, who needed to talk while they rode. I wanted to get home. I hated their guts.
THEN, I would get home, change, and get on my Specialized.
In order to get to the nearby State Forest to do my riding, I had to do down the road a mile or so. Brushed by the mirrors of the SUV driver, who was thinking , "Mooo! Gotta get the kids to soccer!", run into the ditch by a punk in a boom car, etc.
So, like all things regarding people, it all depends on where you are, and when.
People suck, often.
