So there's this bit of info in one of the Reddit posts about the truck driver:
On Tuesday, the court heard that Teo had previous convictions for voluntarily causing hurt in 1988 and 2012, and was convicted for affray in 1999. He was also convicted for an obscene act in 1993 and insulting the modesty of a woman in 2007. He also had multiple traffic offences involving careless driving, speeding and beating a red light between 1999 and 2015.
On the other hand, it's true that cyclists can be totally entitled asshats that go out of their way to be a nuisance on the road.

I like the first comment:

"When Im in my car I hate cyclists, when Im on my bicycle is hate motorists. When Im on Reddit, I hate everyone."

why do we insist on forcing cyclists into the street to share space with cars again? sidewalks are a thing, let bikers ride there. speeds and mass are much more comparable, and in places like america its not like there are a bunch of pedestrians anyway...

more then the number of people that get creamed by drivers not paying attention? because everyone i know that rides their bike for more then just fun has a story of being clipped by a shithead driver, never heard one about them mowing down a pedestrian.

What are you talking about? Is no one walking on sidewalks where you live?

Probably because they aren't riding on the sidewalks.

what i do hear is that its no fun dodging cars when there's a perfectly empty sidewalk they're legally not allowed on...

point is, outside of say NYC, the density of foot traffic on a sidewalk is way fucking lower then the density of car traffic on a street. a bike going only a bit faster then a pedestrian can easily move around or pull over to avoid a walker.

Also the US is not the only country. This would never work in the UK.

Bikers need to realize they are holding up traffic when they do that. Dont ride side by side in the street, single file.

I do a lot of road biking and I don't understand guys like this that have space on the side of the road where they could ride and still let people pass. The guy he was riding with was in a good position where he could still let people pass safely, and the other guy was just hogging the road.

Why the hell was the asshole not riding behind the other cyclist? He's the dumbass in the situation up until the moron in the truck escalates things to attempted murder.

Don't piss off someone who's driving something that can literally flatten you to death.

No, it does not matter whether "they're in the wrong " in the situation. That's the WRONG priority.
You being morally right is not going to keep your ass alive when they road rage behind the wheel.

Sometimes the wisest, self-preserving approach is knowing when to humble your damn self. If you ever want an easy way to advertise you're recklessly stupid, just make it clear you value your pride and ego way more than your skin...

This. I walk around a lot at work and I got clipped by an asshole who was illegally riding his bike on the sidewalk after he illegally rode across a crosswalk while illegally doing so when the cross signal was red. No apology. He didn't even stop. Just rode away like the asshole he was.

Fair next. Don't mess with random people on the street. Some are having a bad day or are just generally disgruntled and irritable and will absolutely fuck you up if you provoke them.

I'd have done the same thing, simply because there isn't really another way to retaliate and I'm not just gonna let the shit go.

You sound unstable. No retaliation is needed here. Looks like he hit his window. He's an asshole, so what?

Nobody wants more tax dollars to go to bike roads when it could go to corporate bailouts, politicians travel money and the military instead
