He jumped up, he got up, and he ran around the front of the truck to the driver's side and he just started pounding on this guy. He hit him ... maybe seven times or so, and then the driver shot him and he fell to the ground. It's like the old saying:
Don't bring a bicycle to a gun fight.

Everyone driving a pickup has a gun, and the older guys will not get out and fight with you, they will just kill you.

While I realize a headline can only be so long, one must wonder why ‘they’ manage to mangle it and mislead the readers.
To read the headline, one would conjure up an image of a bicyclist being shot by a mean old pick up truck driver - AT LEAST it wasn’t an SUV - then ‘they’ could have thrown in Assault Weapon.
This society raised on sound bites and USA Today will never know that
A., the bicyclist caused the accident and
B. the bicyclist assaulted the driver and
C. the driver was apparently acting in self defense - NOT the suggested aggressor.

hmmmm, white, 35-40, riding a bicycle yet disobeying traffic laws, blaming everyone else for his mistakes. One less liberal voter.

Hmm, sounds like a good plug for “Road ID” - never ride alone. I always wear mine when riding.
Also, bikes on the road are supposed to follow “road rules” not “pedestrian rules” - although a number of vehicle drivers and bike riders don't know that.

Liberals ride their bikes with total disregard for motorists thinking that because they’re “saving the environment” they have the right of way at all times.

I’m sorry the bicyclist ended getting shot for his idiocy, but bicyclists not obeying stop and other traffic signs is common where I live. I’m willing to bet a lot of money that the great majority of cyclists sail through stop signs (and many time traffic lights) without stopping. So while cyclists have rights, they also have responsibilities.

>He is being held pending any charges.
WTF? They just jail him until they can think or trump up charges?

A LOT of cyclists in Austin might want to read this story. Or, maybe not. I don't know...
Note to self: Don't run to vehicle of someone with whom you have a dispute and start hitting them through the driver's side window (or any window for that matter).

Odds are (1) lIberal (2) gay (3) arrogant. Sounds like the cyclist was on the way to chick fil-a
