So happy to hear that these stupid d-bags are seeing their day in court. I can only hope that the judge will uphold "yield to life" and give these angry losers a heavy fine!

Makes me want to go out and purchase a front and rear camera for this very purpose and start knabbing people like this. Thanks for posting!

I'm going to install a video camera in my car, so how do I go by and having those riding bike-cycle’s ticketed for breaking the law?

Great, send us any video you might have of cyclist(s) running into the back of a truck. We would be happy to post and help track down the cyclist(s) responsible for damaging the truck.

This is just west of

This is just west of Idledale, just short of halfway between Red Rocks and Evergreen. I have one of these incidents every other time I ride it, it seems. Tight shoulder and blind corners (though not on this stretch). Most drivers are respectful, though I suspect tolerant is a better word.

That car looks familiar

I recognize that car as one similar to one I have had altercations with on Bear Creek Canyon Rd were it seems the video took place. I've had trash and a soda thrown at me on two different occasions and have been verbally harassed. Trash was thrown at me just west of Red Rocks on the second switchback I think, and the soda was tossed at me just before Evergreen. The car looks similar to be the same make and model, but I've never had the chance to take good notes. Looks like this is right west of Idledale.

Please post if there is info on the court date and location. I would like to go if I can!

I will provide the details of the court date when they become available. It's an open court, would love to see the cycling community show up (in lycra!)

road rage

I love Colorado, but its the only state where i've been run off the road, had objects thrown at me, and called racial slurs while riding my bike. I've lived in Colorado, Chicago, and Atlanta. Colorado is by far the worst for angry, ignorant drivers.

I am shocked by your comment

Submitted by Kris Thompson on Tue, 03/15/2011 - 11:38

I haven't lived in to many places but of those Colorado is by far the friendliest place. Is this more of a regional thing, like where in Colorado makes a big difference.

Agreed on the area comment

I have lived and ridden all over PA and MD and they were similar to riding around Boulder. However, every time I have ridden to Carter Lake it is much worse and like stepping into another dimension. A dimension where every other car, truck and motorcycle operator feels I am something to be yelled at or they sneak up and rev their engine just behind me or rev it in front of me and spew black smoke everywhere. I now keep my phone ready to dial CSP to report license plate numbers when riding near Carter Lake.
