[Bethesda cyclist] Do you know this man?

How on earth can PP defend such a weak excuse fr a human - who goes after children?

There is enough evidence that this guy should get what is coming to him.

Yes, from the Reddit posts you can see him ripping the tape out of the petite girl’s hands. The boy teen also posted an image of cuts to his calf from where biker douche hit him with the bike.

PP, what other hostile interactions were the NextDoor posters reporting?

>>Yes, looks exactly like the psychotic that screamed at my teenage son (after almost crashing in to his car, while my son was stopped at an intersection). Not surprisingly, he never had the courtesy to privately contact me after numerous invitations to do so, so I don't know his identity. I do know he is completely unhinged. I'm sorry this group of teenagers encountered him. Upsetting.<<

Right. I think this was near Spring Valley. There was a long NextDoor post about it. And another woman in Spring Valley reported on that thread that she'd had a similar run in with him. I'm guessing he lives in that area?

Someone knows this guy. The accent should really narrow down the pool of suspects.

Longer video. That guy needs to be found.

Now I'm wondering if it was the same person who swore at me and my preschool daughter one day on the Capital Crescent Trail. He was on his bike, zipped past and swore at us, presumably because even though we were hugging the right side of the walkway, we were still taking too much space.

But to be fair perhaps there are multiple swearing bikers on any given WE on the trail?

This story was on the local news this morning! They showed the whole encounter. It was AWFUL. He grabbed fliers from a teen girl MUCH smaller than him. A woman or other teen was screaming "Dont you touch her! Get away from her!" From the chilling screams it sounded like her parent. It gave me chills.

I saw the whole thing and there is no other interpretation. He attacked teens for holding up BLM fliers. Chilling and I hope they catch him, arrest him and he gets fired.

He is probably in hiding. Other bikers know this guy, they just aren't telling.

This guy is an aggressive lunatic who assaulted a woman (that we can clearly see) and possibly a man behind the camera. I don't care what they were posting. You DO NOT assault other people like that.

People have been trying to find him via strava, but no luck (yet).

They were all teenagers. He injured the boy who was filming.

Maybe other bikers like him? All my fellow DC/MD bike people are on the lookout and are itching to report him. Believe me, that type of guy is not only a $@*&# to non-bicyclists.

The assault on that youngster is appalling, grabbing the tape and the threatening demeanor, what a nightmare. Those teens must be traumatized. So glad there is film of it.

From a biker perspective - I ride solo and I do not know other bikers.

Based on the posts here of people having encounters with him, it does not sound as if he rides with others.

The most helpful information would be people posting times they have encountered him on the trail. Once again - as a biker, I typically ride at the same time of day.

Also, spread the word to anyone you know who uses the trail and might recognize him from the video.
