NPR reported this week about road rage targeted at cyclists. Scary, scary stuff. Apparently a cyclist in L.A. was intentionally hit and then beat up by a driver, who said he was “teaching cyclists a lesson.” The case went to court and the driver was convicted, but the fact that any driver would do this baffles me.

The relationship between drivers and cyclists is one of the most important obstacles we face in pedestrian politics. It is encouraging to hear a national media outlet report on this, so help spread the word and educate!

You can listen to the entire story on the NPR website.
