People can be stupid
Worcester Telegram: Unprovoked attack on cyclist.
I have never been able to figure out why some people - make that drivers, though I guess technically they are people - just seem to have it in for people on bikes. They all seem to think that bikes are supposed to be ridden on the sidewalk, not the road. Which, as we all know, is not the case. Just about every cyclist I know can tell at least a couple stories of varying degrees of harassment.
This was pretty extreme, though - two punks in a Pontiac, chased this guy into traffic and whacked him in the back with a baseball bat. Fortunately, he was not seriously hurt. Sad.
