Great we’re finally getting more people to use bikes instead of cars and now this happens. I hope this won’t dampen the public’s ‘renewed’ intrest in cycling and commuting by bike because of new government restrictions to cyclists.
I just hope the government isn’t going to make us all get bicycle licenses and force us to name our pets Schwinn and Raleigh just keep us in check. My pets already have a name!

So far, it doesn’t look as though this single, isolated incident has branded cyclists. Of course, if it keeps happenng, and cyclobombers keep showing up, then yeah, we’re gonna look bad.
You might want to avoid cruising the city at 3 am in your black hoodie for awhile.
I’m just sayin’.
