Cyclist on cyclist road rage on the Katy Trail in Dallas: https://www.nbc5i.com/news/13794180/d...12050308012007 . Goes beyond a frame pump in the spokes.

Before I hit submit, I meant to add a witty comment to the effect that I expect that attacker to post in due time with his joyful victory over a few noobs who wouldn't get out of his way.

Let's all be on the lookout. Bald dude with moustache on roids.


"The couple described the attacker as a 5-foot-7 inch physically fit bald white man, with a full dark mustache. His black road bike was damaged in the confrontation."

Sounds normal to me!

dlew308

you assume every physically fit person is on roids?

Taking a bike to a knife fight is always a bad idea. Try a gun next time.

That tears it -- I may have to carry a concealed weapon with me now. Do you think the outline of a Glock under my jersey will be too obvious??

I don't know if you meant it to be this funny, but this is hilarious.

"He kept saying, 'He's got a knife, he's got a knife! He's cutting you!'" <Text from the story

I'm sorry but that is just hilarious.

"You're in the water! You're in the water! It's wet! You're wet! You're drowning!"

Proximo

Yeah, it was a joke.

MONGO!

I'm sure you'd be laughing hysterically as he slashed you over and over with a box cutter...

DScott

Somebody should have been using a mirror. This could have all been avoided...

The attacker "loudly screamed, "On your left!," then passed by and rode ahead, but quickly slowed down."

Proximo

My guess is there's a lot more to this story than the article tells us. The perp was clearly fired up to start with but someone in the victim's group likely tossed fuel on his fire.

Deuce24

awful. the guy should have just thrown his water bottle.

probable556

No. Just that ******. Or perhaps he recently stopped taking his other meds.

Deuce24

no dude. the roids were for the stache!

DScott

There's always more to the story, but a lone male cyclist carrying a blade is red flag number one. Attacking a woman is red flag number two. Blowing by them, then deliberately waiting to attack is red flag number three.

Three red flags, and we can say absolutely, positively, with one-hundred percent precision, the perp's a nut. I understand there might be reasons he raged, but planning and following through with a knife attack is proof he's nuts.

Maybe we should require all cyclists to wear mirrors now, just so they can avoid situations like this. wouldn't want to piss off the wrong people...

the_drain

lol. love the bike to a knife fight comment. priceless.

'He's got a knife, he's got a knife! He's cutting you!'" is also pretty classic.

probable556

In a sick way that is funny.

If someone pulled a knife on my wife they would get their face kicked in about half a second. No situational narrative would be included.

yellowjeep

plus one.

if somebody pulled **** like that on my girlfriend they would die very very quickly.

CommuterRun

Good. Hopefully his bike was very expensive, was totaled, and he can't afford another.

mrmatta

Got 'im. I know where this guy lives.

cyclezealot

dont let that jersey be a euro cut.

Blue Jays

One can be cut and not even immediately realize it. Best wishes this nut is captured very soon.

I don't think I could conceal anything bigger than a Derringer under a jersey, but I'll bet I could get my S&W .38 into a handlebar bag pretty easily.
