From the Ballard Tribune Police Blotter report:

http://www.ballardnewstribune.com/articles/2007/10/01/news/cops/cops01.txt

A couple was riding their bikes on the new "sharrow" bike lanes on Stone Way last week when they got into a confrontation with a driver. "Get tabs for those things (bikes), you don't belong here on the road," the driver yelled. The husband told the driver to leave his wife alone. A passenger got out of the car and pushed the husband off his bike and onto the ground. The husband got up and placed the bike between himself and the angry passenger who had come closer and was in his face yelling. The husband told police he could smell alcohol on the suspect's breath. The perpetrators got away.

Best way to deal:

Offer the driver a big swig from your flask. Then as he drives away, call 911 and make a report of a driver driving erratically, heading whatever direction, with his plate number and a description of the car. Let the cops do your dirty work.

I swear I'm not passive aggressive.

What about "Call the cops, and wait for them to show up, only to find out that they personally know the drunk driver in question and are probably not going to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law"?

That's what we did a few months ago... all of .83 sitting around waiting for cops to show up. THAT's something that doesn't happen often...

if dude stopped, yelled at my girl and knocked me off my bike, I'd be dammed sure he'd be walking away with a permanent limp.
A nice firm kick to the knee would adjust his attitude nicely.

I second that one. Once you touch me, my bike, a friend, or a friend's bike ... it's like getting served and then, of course, IT'S ON! Then again, maybe if it was a big meathead like the guy in Belltown during last week's CM ... his neck was almost Henry Rollins thick. That changes things.

ya know, helmeted heads deliver KILLER headbutts, and Sidi shoes would do some serious mandibular damage with a well placed simple side kick.
