UPDATE!
Driver pleads not guilty in harassing cyclists!
Read more (but not much) on the Daily Camera
Amazing, in Colorado, in Boulder County. OK, so we don't know what took place before this video started but could have 2 cyclists done something so terrible as to deserve this?

Hopefully the police were called?

That is harassment, which is illegal. Maybe could go as far as assault.

Kudos to the cyclists

Compliments to the two cyclists shown in the video for continuing to ride and video without responding to the driver's conduct. I'm sure that wasn't easy, but it's enjoyable to watch the pleasant cyclist conduct compared with the angry belligerent driver's! I'm very sorry this happened and ruined your ride. I do hope you reported the license plates and provided the cops with your video.
Next time this happens, consider stopping and calling CSP's aggressive driver hotline - *277 - and reporting this car and its whereabouts, so the CSP can go pay them a friendly visit.

Next time? Why not this time? It's not like CSP can appear immediately anyway.
Seems like everything is dpcumented in the video!

How is YouTube or your video

How is YouTube or your video going to protect you at the moment? IT'S NOT, it's only evidence after the fact (if your phone is not crushed or taken). Call 911 to get help as I believe that there are only about 25 State Patrol on duty at a time statewide.

CSP won't do anything unless

CSP won't do anything unless there are multiple reports about a driver.
If you have half a clue and can use TOR, you can look up their info yourself. But then what are you going to do...

CSP does not require multiple
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
CSP does not require multiple reports to follow up on an incident like this but you may have to push them. Let them know that you expect the driver to be contacted. When I have contacted CSP they have collected both side of the story and followed up with me after the call to the driver. Of course, expect some lame excuse from the driver to try to justify their actions.

Reminds me of our #5 article in 2011, driver caught on film in Golden harassing a cyclist but in that case we see before and after and it is 100% clear that the cyclists had in no way provoked the driver. Not that I'm saying these guys did but in this case we had video evidence that he had not.

Well, if we weren't involved in the incident we can't report it to the police, but we can report it to the news media!
