Just because your in the right, doesn't make you right.
Many states do not allow you to ride side by side on a road like that. Cyclists are restricted to only 3 feet left of the white line.
IMO. They should have rode single file to allow cars to pass, then when clear ride tandem again. The driver should have also provided more room. It looks like he was pissed and trying to show the rider that he was, just got a bit too close

We've had our share of issues on the back roads/small highways with large groups of cyclists...

Discretion is the better part of valor comes to mind......... For ALL parties involved.........

I've been ran over twice.... and once in the cross walk at avila beach... neither driver stopped...

[ChumpChange]

Having lived in Claremont, I can understand the frustration.

That's a tough one. I'd be interested to know more about the hitter. Just guessing he/she is a challenged driver. I've seen people have a hell of a time going around a 18 wheeler when then had a full blown lane to make the move. So I'm guessing they are challenged in some way.

But that doesn't excuse them from leaving the scene. Innocence is lost when you flee. Bad move on many levels.

Normally when I end up drunk, it was accidental. So I kinda know the feeling [emoji23]

Oh absolutely the driver should have stopped.

[riverrunner1984]

I ride a bike but I'm def sympathetic to vehicles. They are a hell of a lot bigger and harder. This guy should have been riding single file but that's still no excuse for a car hitting him and not stopping.

[stoker22405]

So they got caught after they ran you over?

Amen... you can win the battle but loose the war in this scenario... :D FOR BOTH parties...

I can't imagine having to live knowing that i injured or killed OR caused someone to be disabled because I was a impatient driver OR some other lame and preventable reason for hurting someone...

yeah, there were witness's both times...nothing happen to them though... my dad never went after them so no civil

Avila Beach used to be a nice quaint town, now your lucky to find a place to spread your beach towel.

that must have been nice. SLO only 10 miles away. you would have gone down to shell beach if you wanted to surf. (bigger waves anyway)

questions to take you guys down a rabbit trail, don't the solvents eat the styrofoam up when they start to glass over the styrofoam core of a surf board??? I know that styrofoam is pretty fragile when it comes to solvents...

[El Toro]

without going to far down that rabbit hole its the "type" of polyurethane foam & resin thats used, if you have 5 minutes watch this youtube.

we were making custom boards in avila...we cut down bigger boards, re shaped them and re glass'd them...

[2manymustangs]

It was pretty cool to see that video from ElToro, I have seen bits and pieces of it before... Its amazing to me how easy that a pro can make the glass/resin work look... :)

yep, remember when that was happening. right around '68-'69 popular thing to do. now all those old longboards (even popouts) are valuable to collectors. I didn't keep any old boards since I would trade them in for the "latest" model. when all the "cool" kids started surfing on 5 ft. fish style surfboards, I didn't adapt well & started waterskiing instead.
