    "[Man], 50, was injured in a September incident in Concord, Calif., in
    which he became enraged at a group of bikers and drove toward them in his
    car, waving a pool cue with his left arm. It wasn't the bikers who injured
    him, though. Brooks got out, still in a rage, walked around behind his car,
    and was backed into because he had left the car in reverse gear. The
    collision knocked him into traffic, but some of the bikers pulled him to
    safety. "

    See, the poor dears need us! ;-D

    Bikers in this case being people in leather jackets with skulls on,
    according to the original news article. If it hadn't been, I'd have had no
    compunction in publishing the driver's phone number, which a Google search
    generously reveals.

    Which reminds me of Jack King (champion time-triallist in the 50s) had.
    On his bicycle frame were emblazoned the words "excretum agitum"
