Rush hour along First Street near Florida Avenue NW can be hairy, and crossing Florida Avenue at R Street NW by foot or bike is just a nightmare. Accidents there are frequent. But accidents along First Street NW itself are rare, and accidents that are in fact on purpose rarer still. The WashCycle relates an account from the Bike Washington listserv by a bicyclist who was struck, seemingly intentionally, when a driver holding his hand on the car horn ran into the bicyclist’s rear wheel. Angry drivers often like to speed by bikes and express their frustration by nearly cutting them off or passing very slowly. And sometimes drivers decide it’s okay to use the mass and speed of their vehicles to commit physical violence against slow or annoying bicyclists. Fortunately the biker in this situation was OK (the bike is another story), but nevertheless vehicular violence is very, very bad and, in this case, very probably a hit-and-run crime.
