The main reason why poor people on bikes who grew up in sketchy neighborhoods ride facing traffic in my city. Baseball bats, golf clubs, target practice from overtaking vehicles is fairly common here. It often goes unreported because the cyclist likely have outstanding warrants themselves.

I was not shocked by this story. Lived hearing it all my life.
