Cyclists' rights on trial in LA

A doctor in LA is accused of cutting off two roadies and braking hard in front of them, causing one of them to crash face-first into his rear windshield. His trial is now in the hands of the jury.

Good to hear.

Any updates on the health of the riders involved?

One rider talked about what sounds to me like a mild case of PTSD, flinches at brake lights even when driving, but all involved attended the trial and sentencing. They APPEAR to be in good health.

I saw it on another biking website.

That doctor has a prior history of doing that to cyclists. He has done it, two other times.
