This is not a very expensive truck and if its his parent’s truck, that would put them solidly in the middle class.

I get the feeling that the bicyclists in question aren’t exactly poor, so they’ll probably have a good lawyer.

I have bad news for you about how Texas courts view people suing for personal injuries.

Those triathlon bikes are even more expensive and specialized than a modern road bike, which are already very expensive. This little fucker ran over professionals (most likely), and I can guarantee there were lawyers in the group ride.

LOL oh please, you really think a 100% stock truck/tune produces enough soot to intimidate anyone? I guess he could have mysteriously developed a boost issue, or maybe happens to have bad injectors, and probably just happened to get a little too close to those cyclists a few times under heavy acceleration. Or maybe…

They just need to take his truck away, permanently.

No, I lived there for almost 5 years and I can say without an iota of doubt that this is a TEXAS problem. Cesspool. 

This kid needs a baseball bat full of rusty nails to the knees and hands.

Totally agree! If he doesn't respect other people’s lives why should we respect his?

Although, I am not a pacifist, I wish I could star this several times. When anyone disregards other lives so callously, they should lose all rights of their own for 20 minutes chained to a chair where surviving victims or decedent’s families can do whatever they want to them—want to yell, fine, want to skin them…

Wealthy WHITE people with connections.

When Haiti has a better electrical grid than your state, the arguments that you’re not a “failed state” KINDA go out the window...

I used to love to ride. Got hit by a car where the lady tried to claim she had the right of way (she was turning to her left directly in front of me and I had no stop sign or light or anything) and I sold my bike. I love it, but not worth getting mangled or leaving my kids with no father.

Yup. I hit the same trail every weekend. I can get almost 50 miles in with barely any contact with cars except parking lots and a few stop signs along the trail. Sure it’s not the most exciting ride after a year of this but after all the close calls I got during the pandemic (since apparently no one is paying…

Yeah I was going to write a comment how its not worth the dangers of riding on the road but these folks were training ironman so how else would they do it.

A 16 year old driving a modified 5 year old super duty. My guess is mommy and daddy will “take care” of it from the legal side with a few phone calls. Poor kid just sneezed with affluenza is all.

Texas is a failed state. I’m sooo incredibly sick of these fucking idiots being allowed to pull this shit. ENOUGH. To bad he was allowed to walk away from the scene.

Another daily reminder that Texas is a third-world state.

As a fellow cyclist, this is why I’m starting to avoid road biking. Luckily I have a bike trail near my house, but I don’t trust drivers anymore. Either they are distracted or assholes to cyclists. No need to try to kill cyclists since they are making you to get somewhere slower. We take up the lane for our safety.
