Trailed by a din of blaring air horns on a Washington, D.C., street, a nervy bicyclist on Saturday kept to a determined snail’s pace to hold up a “mighty” truck convoy in a sly showdown captured on video.
Convoy live-streamer WYSIWYG-TV zipped up along a side lane in a car to confront the bicyclist, The Daily Beast reported.
“Hey, what are you doing? You have a bunch of trucks behind you!” said the driver.
The unidentified cyclist responded: “What’s that? I didn’t hear you. What? I didn’t hear you, what did you say? I’m sorry, I can’t hear you — it’s too loud.”
The driver responded: “Oh, it’s too loud, okay.”
That’s right, buddy.

Just slightly less dangerous than the man standing in front of a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square, China. It takes a lot of guts to individually put your life on the line to call out the actions of many.
