As an avide cycling this is a big deal to me and way to go on the cops. This girl deserves everything she gets for this. Far to many people in cars do not give me the respect or even the room safely on the road.
Like 3ft min when passing me on the road. Do not cut me off ect. Sorry but I do not have a big metal cage to procect me and with the bike and gear I am maybe 200 lb to your cars 3000+lb. I have been almost clipped more than once by mirrors and honk at by drivers who had the room to get over and go around me. there was no traffic but they did not want to OMG change lanes to pass me or in one case wait 10-15 extra for me to clear the interestion so they gun it around me then cut me off forcing me to slam on my so I on my bike would not slam into them doing 20 mph. That one oddly enough got multiple middle fingers at the guy from witnesses in cars which were waiting for me and my fellow riders to make it clear. We though it was great that we had their support.
Sorry for the rant to many dumb asses out there who do not know how to treat cyclist or have any clue on the law.
