Too little information to say what happened, but sheesh. The guy sounds like a decent family man trying to save a few bucks by riding.

Wow. Toledo's some rough streets.

. . . it makes me wonder if he knew the assailant and there might have been some standing dispute, since he wasn't robbed. But that's pure speculation on my part. Very tragic . . .

This is really disturbing, and will become even more disturbing if the attack proves to be a result of road rage. My world-view would take another major hit.

I live and do a ton of riding in an area where the redneck factor is high. These are folks who hate cyclists or think anyone wearing spandex is a "fag." I worry that one of these bubbas will stupidly be violent towards me one day...

"There's no reason to shoot at me! I'm a dentist!"


Is that from "Eversmile, New Jersey?"

What a weird film. I just watched it a couple of weeks ago (gearing up to motorcycle Central and South America). It's not exactly a dual-sport adventure film, but worth watching.

I apologize for the thread creep. It always sucks when one of us gets terminated by a selfish and clueless public.

It's from the "In Laws", a Peter Falk/ Alan Arkin comedy from the '70's.

i just finished dinner and now am sick to my stomach. The guy never had a chance to learn his route by bike.

Isn't that the same area Klinger is from? Tough hood.

Not to hijack - but how about a goose neck gourd? Yup - some farmer said he accidentally fell on it and it ended up there....

Back to the thread - sucks he was shot. Odd that early in the morning.
