Bike tires are fragile. Probably just another inconsiderate, inpatient cart driver.
I was thinking the same thing,,, but to put it like this,,, someone comes on with a complaint about anything, and you can dee how fast people are out to jump on the wagon,,, I read the complaint, but that is the OP story,, I have no idea as to what really happened. Could be a one sided story and the cart cut the cyclist off and almost wrecked them.. I have had that happen many times on the MMP, the roads and so on.

Now I repeat and I STRESS REPEAT, I am not agreeing with any side in this throw the cyclist to shark gimmick here. but am simply stating why hang the poor cyclist when you hear one side,,,

There are bad apples all over,, I got cussed out this morning on the way to work on my bike at 4am because the cat delivering the Daily Sun in BV wants to drive like a bat out of hell down the wrong side of the street with his dome light on and I had to do a tripple gainer with half twist in the pike position like Greg Louganis to avoid being road kill, Then the cat tells me bike don't belong in the road,,, HELLO I AM IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD....
