Crazy bad sh*t happens every day in the world...so, statistically speaking, it only makes sense that it happens to cyclists on occasion...sucks for him though...we are definitely vulnerable out there...

Very little info there on how the incident was initiated.
That's why I've always adhered to the - "I'd rather know it and not need it, than need it and not know it" rule. The other variation as well - "Id rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it". William |

I think it was actually a stale baguette.

I read an account from one of the other riders. Sounds like the car buzzed them, they yelled at the guy, he was drunk, got out with some weapons and started attacking them. Lesson here is that you have to do your best to ignore the aggressive drivers, no matter how hard that is. Nothing good can come of it.

Sucks! I once had a pack of teens in Newcastle UK (actually I was riding from Newcastle to Tynemouth on the coast, as I did most evenings while on a research trip) and they took offense to my pink bike (see below) which marked me a "Faggot!!" next thing, bricks and full-ish beer cans were being hurled, I was lucky to get out.
Some folks are just itching for a fight, I imagine the bike (his or mine) had very little to do with it. Seriously, how can you not love this f-ing bike!!

Baseball does actually exist in France. I played on a team when I lived there --Pessac Panthères.
