Interesting headline.

A heart doctor who treated former President George H.W. Bush was biking to work when he was gunned down by another cyclist on Friday, authorities said.

Not enough information to back up a pretty sensationalistic headline.

Not sure where this can go where it won’t need to be locked but have at it for now.

Happened in Houston...gunman who was on a bike(cyclist?) still at large.

It feels like the headline writer is trying to make it “cyclist road rage” or something.

To most newspapers anyone on a bicycle is a cyclist.

We’ll see....

The suspect was ON a bicycle. Sweats, khaki shorts, baseball hat. It doesn't sound random to me.

I don't get it. Why would this thread have to be locked? I don't really need an answer, but I'm just genuinely curious as to why this would be the first reaction.

A ride by shooting? Rare

It's early and there's huge gaping holes in the story for now. I'm sure the infonews shows are in speculation station mode.

There has to be a crazy story behind this.

That movie grosse point blank started with a bicycle drive by.

Hold your line, folks. You never know how pissed off those behind might get if you don't.

Perp was "wearing a tan baseball cap, grey jacket, khaki shorts and riding a light-colored mountain bicycle."

"A man comes on the news to tell me
about some cyclist with a ball cap
a jacket and khaki shorts on a MTB

But he can't be a roadie
because he doesn't wear
the same get up as me

I can't get no
Uh no, no, no"

Urban Rapha attire?

You’ve been around here for 10 years....

When has a discussion involving firearms ever survived long enough to drift off the page without the need to be locked?

From the mod side of things, it was important to remind folks to try and stay the course.
