Good grief.
Probably a couple of fools that both think they can ride on the roads, yet still get special exemptions that allow them to ignore the rules.
We generally don't have this around here because bicyclist ride on the sidewalks and expect pedestrians to move out of their way.

It's especially tragic here since low-powered scooters can legally use the bike lanes. That brings up situations where you can rocket up to 40 mph legally in the same area families are out tooling around on bicycles. Even when I was < 50cc I wouldn't use the bike lanes for this reason - that and the fact that those lanes are usually filled with goatheads, rocks, debris and other scooter-toxic items.

No indication of what's at fault here. But if the situation went down like things do in Chicago, I'll guess that the cyclists ran the stop sign just as the scooters were pulling away from the stop, and there was a near miss that led to hostilities

Colorado: Scooters in the bike lanes, bicycles on the sidewalks and pedestrians in the damned street.

I sat having my morning coffee in Hanoi watching small children play in the street because the rest of the road/walkway was used for motorized traffic. Somehow it all worked just fine there. Traffic was light with small, mostly moto traffic. The street was not very wide and things just clicked. We would panic if this happened in most US cities, me thinks. _________________ '15 170i Small sport scoot'
