This story caught my eye tonight as I was watching some Fox News asshat congratulate the cop who assaulted this participant in Critical Mass. For some reason the bicyclist was arrested. I don't really get it.
It another fine example of this nation's absurd attitude toward people who are not only doing them no harm but picking up their slack and cutting oil consumption so they can fuel their Hummers, boats and those little scooters they use to get around the grocery store so they never have to accidently burn calories.
Just yesterday I was nearly beaten up outside my office by some jerkoff who followed me after I stood up for myself when he cut me off. Apparently it takes a big man in a big truck with a tiny penis to get out of his car and threaten a 23-year-old girl on a bike.
Fortunately the guy was a pussy and some construction workers outside the building seemed ready to jump to my aid. One of them told me as I was leaving that I didn't have anything to worry about and that the guy who followed me wasn't getting anywhere near me.
Glad to see someone can appreciate the plight of a bicycling badass.
