...Or, you know, maybe it's an article about people getting assaulted by a guy while riding their bikes. The comment section is full of silliness, but the article itself seems straightforward to me. Care to explain how you came to this conclusion?

I was mostly referring to the comments but this site has a history of playing up every altercation/crime that occurs on a bike path. IMO, this only feeds the flames of intolerance towards homeless and/or mentally ill people.

That's a problem when there are those on both sides who insist that junkies and bums, and the homeless and mentally ill are all the same.

Riding a bike at 20 mph and being checked into the railing? And not wearing hockey gear? Not my idea of fun. Do that much damage to another person in any other (non-sport) setting and you will be up for assault.

Limo liberal, People who live a cloistered life of privilege expressing concern for issues they have absolutely no exposure to in real life. They're the polar opposite of the hay-seed conservative.

Of course neither label/description applies to the content of the article cited by the OP.
