Yet another reason to prefer dirt to asphalt. Hope they are caught soon.

Reaction from my road riding buds... :lol:

"Not cool…hope they pick on Gorilla or Tiny….the next headline will be “Three men found pulverized in car, ironically one had a pellet gun located in a delicate area, quote from officer on scene, “guy looked like a popsicle”. And that would be getting off lightly!

Yeah, I know a number of men in tights who would be particularly bad choices to take a pot-shot at. I don’t expect these losers to last too long if they keep it up.

Oh, and having just ridden up double peak with gorilla and tiny, I can assure you they are both more than ready for the opportunity to set the a-holes straight.

I guess I should start carrying my sidearm when I ride."

Pretty dramatic article, "snipers in a getaway car... one cyclist was dodging bullets".... sound like a couple of punk kids driving around with a pellet gun. I really hope a group of pissed off roadies catches them before the cops do, but it's pretty common knowledge that most people don't like roadies, myself included and I am one.

I know what you mean -- it wasn't sharing the road with cars that made me give up road cycling; it was the self-loathing . . . .

I am new to the roadie scene and got the bike to cross train for mx and I have to say with the exception of One really nice guy I have met every roadie seems to be pissed off at the world. I think its the tight f-me shorts/ tights. Some roadie gave me a "nice shorts" comment started laughing at me bc I wear my mtb jersey/ shorts, cute comment from a man wearing womens yoga clothing.
