Staten Island cyclist assaulted by motorist for being in bike lane
Some Staten Island motorists are, in fact, in favor of bike lanes--as long as they get to drive in them, too.
This morning at 9 AM, cyclist Gregory DeRespino incited road rage among his motorist peers for merely sitting at a stop light in the bike lane on Father Capodanno Boulevard, SI Advance reports. Apparently, DeRespino's presence prevented them from using the bike lane as a turn lane to make a right on red.
