mtb4ever: I've read through many of these postings and am astounded at some of your comments. On the subject of what started the whole thing - littering. Mad Max actually said, "So he littred big......

Eric the Yellow-bellied: Eric: "I'm a cyclist and a motorist, so maybe I have a unique prospective..." WhatEVER. Many of us who are primarily cyclists also have cars -- I'll lay odds you're a motorist who owns a bike.......

pedestrian pal: Rather than go on and on about cyclist versus motorist lets consider this. People who litter are pigs, people who seek out confrontations like this are fools or worse yet, holier than thou. ......

Old Kensington Dog: A couple of points re. the confrontation specifically, and Kensington Market in general: -The SUV in the photos is owned by the business accross the street, not the "Motorist". His four cylinder smaller car with......

I heart kensington: Bike Couriers are some of the most vile, foul mouthed people in the city. I used to walk past them at their hangout on Temperence st. while they pounded back beers and chain-smoked weed (and......

foodfight: It's the litterbug attacking the cyclist, kicking her bike and bringing her down to the ground. Not exactly a pacifist response. He obviously popped a major valve. Litterbug would have shown more self-control if the......

so right about some drivers: To the person who wrote: "the most entitled drivers (excluding cabbies and anything oversized) are luxury sedan drivers. It is no surprise that motorist was driving an Acura." So right!! When I'm waiting to cross the street......

Unbelievable: Both parties in this are definitely ego-monsters. I agree with the above poster(Sault Ste. Marie) and many others. The courier should have taken down the plate number and reported the motorist, and picked up the......

Jonesitis: Clearly this is not a case of motorist vs. cyclist. It is a prime example of urban vs. suburban lifestyle. In suburbia, it is OK to disrespect the envinronment, and people you don't......
