Bicyclist Run Off Road After Riding Through Wet Cement

I think there are two lessons here- be alert to your surroundings and maybe trying to run someone down with your truck isn't the best way to respond to problems.

KBOI TV out of Idaho Falls says a man who accidentally rode his bicycle through wet cement was later run off the road by the man finishing the cement work.

Police say the cement worker was upset when the cyclist damaged his cement work and got in his truck and chased after the bicyclist, yelling profanities. He then chased the man off the road.

The driver was arrested and faces charges including aggravated assault, reckless driving and resisting arrest.
