Thanks to Christiaan for sending out the initial news and thanks to Andrew for this most recent follow-up.

For better or worse the backstory provides important context for this crime. I would feel safe betting on this as not having anything to do with whether the person was on a bicycle or not.

Key facts for those of you unable to read the story:

1) Victim and assailant knew one another and had interacted minutes before the assault 2) Victim and assailant were engaged in self-reported illegal activity (drug dealing) prior to assault that strongly suggests alternative motivations for the crime (alternatives to aggression towards cyclists in general)

I hope whomever was hit is doing okay. Be safe out there friends. This may be a legal test of our state's 3 foot passing rule but only a $100 fine for that.

Attempted vehicular homicide sounds about right. Interesting to see how this plays out legally. And hope it will be in favor of cyclist safety.
