I wasn't able to get his plate #. Your guy could have caused much more serious damage as I would imagine he did this coming off of that little hill between Dry Creek & Coker Butte. Was "Duane" was turning off of Dry Creek Road? That'd probably mean he lives up there and it probably means he's frequently on Foothill. Just something we can keep an eye on.

I want to include a way for cyclists to post the same info to the Velo website as well. It might help identify drivers when we aren't able to get anything more than make/model info. It's hard to imagine that this kind of agressive behavior is a one-time occurence for people like this.
