The spandex mafia never grows up

73 year old millionaire.  Still a punk.  Best and most accurate line:  I have more rights than you.

I would suggest that he did not drive NEARLY close enough to that clown. He might look good with tire tracks on the back of his fancy biker costume.

I’m a bike rider but this a$$hat takes the cake.   Once he put his hands on that kid he should be put in jail for assault.  
 

A few tire tracks to add to his outfit might be perfect

If a cyclist screams “BIKE”  they’re in the right no matter the situation.

Even running a red light? 😏 

 

When did this stupid shi... start?

 

Motorists pay fuel taxes for those roads... Lower mpg vehicles pay even more. They should get priority... Cyclists should go build their own roads.

That's when they should use their bell.

There's a much longer video of this that shows the officers body cam footage talking to Peacock for a good 10 minutes. I thought the officer was way too patient with this clown. He was trying to explain things he didn't need to explain.  The dude should have been arrested for assault and what amounts to unlawful detainment, or something like that.

Have you got a link that you could provide to this extended version by any chance?

Had one of these bozos blow through a stop sign the other day and nearly kill himself on the front of my vehicle.   A few days after a teenager on a motorized scooter did the same thing.   If you want to use the road the rules apply to you.     In my area we have tons of people using motorized bicycles and scooters.  Personally feel like they should be registered as a vehicle and have to include insurance.   Motorized bikes are just mopeds as far as I am concerned.

Car and truck operators never blow stop signs. 

 

Ever.

The YouTube link worked... thanks!

 

This bozo makes me almost feel ashamed to say that I'm 72 years old too... but at least my elevator still goes all the way up to the top floor as opposed to whatever floor his gave out at :)

I haven't had it happen to me twice in one week.   Also the topic isn't "automobile operators never grow up" 

 

while we are on the topic I  don't know many people driving vehicles who feel the need to wear a flame resistance suit, helmet, gloves, racing shoes and a neck harness.

This is the only acceptable amateur biking gear; mostly because there's M&M's, cigars and cold beers in the backpack.

Yeah... It's becoming a problem... Anything that's self-propelled (has a motor) and goes over 20mph should be treated like a motorcycle...

They do and they get tickets.  Police should start ticketing bikes for not following the rules of the road.

Dude stop.  I’ve seen cars blatantly blow through red lights/stop signs maybe 10-15 times in all the years I e been driving.  I haven’t counted but I’ve probably seen a few hundred thousand cars at stop signs obeying the law.  I’ve seen countless….I mean countless…..bicycles blow through road signs, including passing lines of stopped cars.  More seem to disobey than obey but that part is admittedly anecdotal.
 

If the line of stopped cars is long enough, the car in front can’t possibly see the bike approaching, but God forbid the car take a perfectly legal right on red and get hit on the passenger side resulting in comically flying yellow spandex.   Then their will be trouble from the Saab spandex douche or some like minded mental midget.
