Video out of Glendale appears to show an Audi driver trying to run a couple of cyclists off of the road.
Posted to the CiclaValley blog, the incident took place on Chevy Chase in Glendale last week:
The video speaks for itself. This was assault. You could tell by the honking and the riders’ awareness that they knew something was coming.
To pull in front and deaccelerate into them was a deliberate act meant to cause harm.
My friends were doing everything correctly within the law, positioned as far to the right possible without traveling in the door zone. But even if they hadn’t, did they deserve to have their lives threatened?
The blog notes that the cyclists took the video to the police who, it would appear, were not interested in it all.
California law requires at least 3 feet be given by drivers to cyclists, with violators facing a minimum $35 fine.
