Insane Driver who obviously doesn't like people on bikes

(Update as of Wednesday Sept 19th: The Colorado State Patrol is involved and we've found others who have had similar run-ins with this driver. Stay tuned for more updates) Here is what was supposed to be my relaxing Sunday morning ride with my teammate until things became a bit unsettling when an older male driver came up behind us in his Ford Explorer (license plate Colorado 893 EKG). This guy obviously doesn't like seeing bikes for some reason since he sat behind us for more than five minutes blaring his horn. What's even worse is we saw him approaching from behind and to be polite we ride single file to give him as much road as possible, as we did with every other car we encountered on this road east of Longmont, CO. This guy was so intent of bugging us that he backed up traffic behind him and cars had to pass him on a double yellow line. It seems he was the one obstructing traffic, not us. We ended up slowing up in order to force him to pass us and go on with his day. Insane. Hopefully this is the worste thing this guy does to cyclists.

As a Founder of TrainingPeaks.com I encourage everyone to get out and ride bikes as part of a healthy lifestyle. Everyone no matter what their age or where they may live should have the right to feel safe when riding whether it be for health, fitness or simply commuting to work.

Maybe he was just trying to motivate you to speed up!

"Seventy-five year old James Ernst, 75, of Erie, Colorado, was cited for improper use of his horn, two counts of harassment, and — this is the most delightfully schadenfreudenistic part — impeding traffic" adventure-journal com

What I like is bike riders want the same rules of the road, but ya never see them slow much at a stop sign... By the way I ride

I'll be sure to run you're girly little ass over next time I see you riding your tricycle on the road tee hee.

You might wanna read your driver's manual there, buddy. :) But go ahead and try to evict the bikes from your road. You might learn, much as Mr. Ernst did, that you are Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. 12 months probation worth of wrong.

You know what doesn't belong on the road? Self-entitled asshats. Whether in car, bike, or on foot. More than anything else in life, these are what make society intolerable.

[Some Other Guy Too]

Bring it on, Cupcake. Like Aaron said, stop and get out of your car and wait and see what happens.

[Derskorpion85]

Goddamn! I know how fuckin pesty it is to have turds harass you when you're trying to ride your bike, good thing you kept you're cool, cause i bet you're in a hell lot better shape than their ignorite asses, makes you sometimes wish you could summon a dino sized spider or scorpion to yank them out of their cars, rip their fuckin heads off GRRRRRR lol, but it's imporent to keep cool, cause people can be more nuttier than wild bamboos nowadays, stay safe cycling

[ezdeezytube]

Yes I know, I've worked with turbo systems for years. But I can tell from the engine revs when someone driving on a straight street presses the accelerator just to make a little boost, lets go next to me intentionally to release the BOV, then continues to drive with the same revs (they didn't shift gears). VW drivers, smh

a blow off valve just sounds when you release pressure, for example change gear/lift off the throttle. They dont do it on purpose to scare you lol
