www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120457877When I was away in Italy during the summer of 2000, we had an almost identical incident in Charlottesville. Same traffic interaction, on the ride out to the weekly Tuesday ride. Nicolai (ex-Russian pro fast enough that he had lapped the field at Athens recently) pulling a paceline at 30+ mph. Car buzzes by passive-aggressively. Nic flips the driver. Driver yanks onto the shoulder and brakes sending the back 3 guys behind Nic through his hatchback windshield. Broken bikes, and injured bodies, lawsuits, and enduring controversy in the letter-to-editor pages of the C-Ville Weekly.
