Driver pulls gun on Hincapie?

I just got something on my FB page from Road ID that said George Hincapie and his 8y/o son had a gun pulled on them by a driver while on a ride. Pic of the car & plate. Anyone else hear this? I'd copy/link, but I'm at work so I'm not even supposed to be on FB... shhhh!

Quick Internet search doesn't show anything. Didn't check FB or Twitter.

Scary! Since he's a "celebrity" they might even look into it whereas were it you or I it'd be "it's he said/she said, we didn't see it so there's nothing we can do". Nevertheless, if it gets one idiot with a gun off the road it's a positive.

Interesting, I did a Google search and only found the Op listed. Really hope this is not true.

UK site.

The post is set for "visible to friends". For me it's not visible since I'm only friends of friends, not a friend. It won't be visible to anyone who is not Hincapie's direct friend.

That's going to be good PR for that fancy dancy bike hotel he and his brother built. "Cmon, y'all, and be target practice for the local yahoos."

Doesn't matter who the rider is. That driver is a POS who needs to be taken out and taken off the road ASAP.

I suspect there's something more to this story. It takes a pretty rabid psychopath to run a family on bikes off the road then pull a gun. I have no clue what may have gone on, but, we're off the scale for even a jerk off wacko here.

At this point probably they know exactly who the guy is and as it happened with another driver would not surprise me that the dude is already getting cr@p for what he did.

This driver is going to suffer hell from the cycling community.

Started already... insurance will go up for sure.

Tomorrow the Onion will report the car is registered to an "Anna Hansen" from Boulder, Colo.
