Why do pickup drivers hate cyclists? I saw another video of a pickup terrorizing a cyclist recently.

It's a short with annoying voice over dude

Pickup drivers are just assholes.

The "light" truck is intentionally marketed to people with that personality type. (I wish I was kidding - I'm not.)

If you were paying 2k a month on a luxury truck loan to pay 6 bucks for a gallon of gas to go 11 miles at traffic speeds slower than a bike on the shoulder, you too would be incredibly stupid and irate.

Also, that truck driver needs to have their license pulled indefinitely and the truck impounded. That's multiple murder attempts happening in a few minutes. I don't give a fuck if public transport sucks, or if you are crippled and can't walk anywhere. Should have thought of that before you tried to kill someone multiple times with your truck.

One of these days I want a cyclist to pull a gun on someone pulling this shit. I know pickup drivers are often armed and typically feel safe in their giant trucks. But you drive through the protected cycle lane you should be at risk of being shot by someone fearing that you may continue attempting to attack them.

At least in gunland

Also nonsense at the end ("serving a 37 year sentence").
