MILWAUKEE 22/09/2007 — A bicyclist shot a motorist after the man's car nearly hit the bike on Friday night, police said.

The 28-year-old driver of the car stopped to check on the bicyclist, who had fallen to the pavement around 10:45 p.m., police said. The bicyclist got up, fired three shots and hit the driver once in the shoulder, police said.

The motorist drove to the house of a friend, who then took him to a hospital. He was treated and released.

Police said they were looking for the bicyclist on Saturday. No other details were released.

    This brings up the serious question, as UK commuters, where do you put your pistol, Whilst Evans have a range of bottle holders, a quick flick through their catalogue showed not a single pistol holder

    Should I go to Halfords or Condor ?
  • Get a long barrelled pistol and slide it down the front of your lycra shorts (making sure the safety's on :shock: ) and not only will you be protected, the girls will love you too!!

  • Hahaha all that cock waving made me laugh - some Americans are REALLY thick.

    A handgun in your tailpack giving you a chance against someone who doesn't care if you live or die? Get real.

    All guns do is mean that morons can win arguments against intelligent people.

    This is a much funner thread. I particularly enjoy Stevebaby's posts, and of course, my own.

  • Perhaps the rider should have shot the tyres out, rather than the driver, made the git walk!
