  1. That's awful.

    Here in Australia we had a guy a few years back decide he didn't think that cyclists should be riding on his road, and he drove into a peloton of training athletes (Olympic level) - the prick got caught eventually. He didn't have any DUI charge to hide behind either, it was during the 6-7am morning commute.
