30 days seems kinda light for nearly killing somebody and definitely giving them lifelong problems….
That's fucked up.
Cyclists should keep a nice, long screw in their bag. When someone parks like an asshole, no need to say anything, just prop the screw up under one of their tires and get on with your day.
It's reusable and leaves essentially no evidence of tampering. Additionally, if the person cares about safety at all, they'll stop the car immediately and the tire can be reused, but if they keep driving, it's ruined.
What's the name of this object?
As someone who was yelled at for “parking in the bike lane” because I had a flat tire and that was the only place I could find to pull over …. Just assuming the worst and jumping right to violence is part of the problem, not the solution
Just a note here: Having mechanical issues with your vehicle (your private property) does not give you the right to break driving laws. A car with a flat is still capable of driving enough to move out of the way to a space that isn't impeding traffic and/or putting others in danger.
Granted, blocking a bike lane isn't likely to put someone in immediate danger, but you are still blocking people from getting past so some amount of anger should be expected. Cyclists have to deal with so much crap being parked/dumped/littered in their bike lanes.
It may put bikers in danger though, because you force them to move out of the bike path into the car lane.
The danger it puts cyclists in is minimal. A bit of paint is not much protection, and cyclists cycle safely in the car lane on many roads.
Making it about danger is hyperbolic.
what part of your story justifies beating an innocent person unconcious?
In response to

One violent attack doesn’t justify an arms race.
you are replying to the wrong person
Take his license and crush his car.
I mean if we are being fair here, crush his legs, sell the car and use the money for charity. Perhaps a charity that helps people with mobility. And builds bike lanes.
Mercedes driver sentenced
What was the brand name of the bike? /s
They're implying someone who's rich and feels entitled.
As someone who drives a Mercedes I’m neither rich nor entitled.
Edit: Who downvotes this lol.
That's what any rich and entitled person would say.
A former boss of mine who owned his (very large and expensive) house plus three other houses that he rented out, plus 51% stakes in two companies which were both worth at least €10mio each also claimed that he's "upper middle class" and that the things he feels entitled to are just what regular middle class people are entitled to.
I like to life by the following rule:
Anybody that says all X are Y, then that persons probably biased or an idiot.
... you do understand that your rule includes anyone who lives by that rule?
You just called yourself a biased idiot.
Yeah, what a strange detail for a headline
We live in a very car-centric culture, everything is a reminder.
Brand is a useless detail.
For nerds a detailed model wound be needed.
And for those saying 'that means rich' - ~~again more model info of the car~~ the info if there person is rich is needed.
A detail from the OPs article like:
According to the media, notably “Ukrainska Pravda”, the attacker – a 44-year-old Oleksandr Khilyk – may also figure in a case of embezzlement of 25 million hryvnias for the procurement of winter uniforms for the Kyiv Territorial Defense.
There is a full vid too (some news vid):
The video you linked had a clip of the assailant with what looks like a mansion and several luxuries from a previous video. It definitely seems like this is a rich person.
Sorry, there seems to be some confusion & I prob wasn't clear - I never said he wasn't rich, the whole first part is a comment on the stupid article headline, the subject I was replying to (if anything, that it wasn't clear from the headline that he was rich).
They had his ID, they could have just said 'rich guy' instead of driver.
