    So bike-knucklehead punches car-knucklehead in the face, then tries to get away on his bike. As it turns out, you can't go to Beverly Hills, act like an asshole, and expect to emerge unscathed. Hopefully bike-knucklehead learned his lesson, and in the future will behave in a more civilized manner.

    The driver carried it way too far, but I still don't have a lot of sympathy for the cyclist if he threw the first punch, although we don't know what preceded the punch. Any cyclist that has spent more than a minute on the road has had to deal with asshat drivers, but I can't imagine assaulting someone over it. Would be nice to hear the rest of the story, but I'm guessing there's a reason the cyclist didn't want to be identified.

    They should be able to get the rear plate as he drove past into the garage. This happened two weeks ago this guy should be in jail already.

    Definitely not a cycling friendly neighborhood.

    I'm in LA (meaning west side) a lot and am always in awe of people riding their bikes on some rather questionable streets -- I guess since I've given up riding on the road with our cushy bike lanes because of too many near misses. One saturday my family and I were coming up Burton where it becomes Little Santa Monica, around Canon, and a guy in full road kit, helmet, and bike was flying along in the right lane. Pretty ballsy considering the cars parked on the side of the road, narrow double lanes, and lack of room in general -- it makes riding PCH through Corona del Mar look like the Back Bay trail.

    I'm in the left lane traveling about his speed 20 -25 and this woman on side of us is laying on the horn and literally 6 inches from this guy's back wheel, screaming at him in Farsi. This goes on for a block and a half. My wife, who couldn't really care less about anything cycling related, finally has enough, rolls down the window and starts yelling at the lady calling her a f*cking idiot. Needless to say, not one of her prouder moments, but I was proud of her.

    I stopped riding my road bike because a large portion of people driving motorized vehicles just don't pay attention, and some target you, swooping into the bike lane to scare you. It was so dangerous, I was afraid that at some point, I might punch someone (and I might break my hand). ;)

    I'm scared shitless when i drive my CAR in Beverly Hills. Those rich people are nuts! Each one is more entitled and distracted than the next if you're driving anywhere between Doheny and Roxbury. I can only imagine the terror I'd experience if I rode my bike there.

    The bicyclist was wrong to punch the guy. But my gut tells me the guy in the BMW had it coming.
    Just a hunch. 8-[
