Range Rover Runs Over Bikers in NYC, 1 dead

[Plumbers Crack]

A black Range Rover ran over a group of bikers in New York City during an annual street ride. After running over multiple people at the :50 second mark, he takes off only to run over another person at the 5:00 minute mark. Apparently 1 rider was killed.

While I find these massive group rides (like ride of the century) annoying - Holy crap that Range Rover driver is nuts.  Even if no one died as reported there still many counts of ADW and possibly attempted murder in that 5 minutes...

Wow

Those are both Bicyclist articles.

How many full on videos are there of it??  Did you watch it Painter, we are talking about motorcylists??

Someone was pregnant doging about something there in the beginning before they all stopped. I wonder what that was.

Why does it matter if it's bicycles or motors?
People are running us over.

Not sure which is worse... the moment(s) of insane malice shown by the Range Rover driver by intentionally plowing over people a couple times, or the people in the bicyclist (i'm just gonna say it) murders. Giving drugs to an unlicensed driver and letting them drive... wtf.

bad bad bad alll bad

Wow.  That's crazy.  Was the driver just annoyed at the holdup?

Maybe? Maybe the bikes were harassing them before the video starts. One bike white (honda?) is crowding and then cuts off and slows very close the the RR - they might make contact then. Then we cant see what's going on for a bit until the RR starts plowing over stuff.

There's a lot bad decision making in this video

I have no idea how the Range rover ended up in the middle of the pack.  Was he trying to get through the slow moving pack? Maybe........  Were the riders on an organized ride with an approved by the city route, escorts etc?  Or were these guys just out on a big group ride and making trouble for people in cars?  

In the very start of the video a white bike gets in front of the Rover and slows down quickly enough that the driver taps the rear tire of the bike.  The riders then stop surround the Rover and start hitting it.  The driver having his family on board did what I would have done if in fear of being drug out of my vehicle by a gang.  He ran them over.  IMO the riders were looking like and behaving like thugs.  

At the end of the video when the Rover driver does not back up though the entire pack killing as many of the riders as possible it is fairly clear that he did not want to kill anyone.  Personally the second I would have seen the pack stop behind me would be the the second I put the car in reverse and hit the gas pedal.

This was a six minute chase, where were the cops?

When I see articles like these it is no wonder some people hate on motorcyclists.  There are many more but these only took a second to pull up.

If I was the SUV driver in that situation with my wife and child in the car, I would have done the same with how those riders were acting.

Were the riders on an organized ride with an approved by the city route, escorts etc?

Highly doubt it

Or were these guys just out on a big group ride and making trouble for people in cars? 

More likely IMO

Rhetorical questions.....  Anytime I see a large group of external armor wearing squids I make assumptions......    When I was riding through Portland I saw a large group of squids shut down the opposite lanes to play d-bag (oops I meant to stunt around).

I just wish they would stop wearing helmets.........
