It's not spreading as quickly as, say, a Romney fundraiser, but this video is racing around the InterTubes today. It's got all of the elements -- a driver with road rage against two bicyclists.
It happened in Longmont, CO., and the cyclists reported they eventually slowed to force the guy to pass.

Those are Minnesota plates, right?
Sure look like Minnesota plates to me.
Yeah, being Minnesota nice, the driver was undoubtedly honking so the bikers would stop and he could give them back their quiet ride. ;-)

I never quite understood the misplaced road rage against Cyclists...
Any one who has spent any amount of time on a bicycle has a story about a motorists just completely writing off cyclists as little more then highly mobile speed bumps.
I was riding home yesterday and some mean old guy in a car gave me the finger. That is a first -- in nine years of biking to work. I do occasionally get horns.
I always gladly give bicyclists as wide a berth as possible.
Skateboarders, on the other hand....
( How does that "terminate with extreme prejudice" thing go again? :-)
I will admit a disdain for the getups that bicyclists wear...but I always defer to them nonetheless. This is unbelievable. I hope there is some official action taken.
