That is the video footage seen by millions now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;I pulled out my phone because I knew there would be some angry drivers, and I was filming for my own safety,&#8221; Fetzer said in a social post, which was shared by his legal representatives Lawyers 4 Cyclists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">He went on to describe how the situation escalated further along when the cyclists were on East Coast Highway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;Here&#8217;s where things get so much worse. A few miles down the road, him [Weiss] and four buddies stop on the side, waiting in line at the [Crystal Cove] Shake Shack, a local burger joint. Cars will usually get in line and wait at Shake Shack, blocking cyclists, which is fine. We move to the left and we go around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;But this time, these four individuals got out of their cars, ran into traffic, pushed into the two right lanes, blocked us. They told us they were going to kill us, and tried tackling us. They didn&#8217;t only do it to us. There were two other cyclists that weren&#8217;t involved with us at all who were also put in harm&#8217;s way by these guys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;In shock, I stopped with these two cyclists who were already on the phone with the police, trying to get an officer at the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;Through this entire process all I want to do is share bicycle safety awareness. I&#8217;ve had multiple friends who have been seriously hurt or killed by reckless drivers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Fetzer noted that the social media account of the suspect has been made private and he recommended that people do not post comments towards him, but let the legal process handle the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In addition to hundreds of cyclists, other road users had responded with shock at the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;BMW enthusiasts do not claim this guy or condone this behavior.

A few miles down the road, him [Weiss] and four buddies stop on the side, waiting in line at the [Crystal Cove] Shake Shack, a local burger joint. Cars will usually get in line and wait at Shake Shack, blocking cyclists, which is fine. We move to the left and we go around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;But this time, these four individuals got out of their cars, ran into traffic, pushed into the two right lanes, blocked us. They told us they were going to kill us, and tried tackling us. They didn&#8217;t only do it to us. There were two other cyclists that weren&#8217;t involved with us at all who were also put in harm&#8217;s way by these guys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;In shock, I stopped with these two cyclists who were already on the phone with the police, trying to get an officer at the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;Through this entire process all I want to do is share bicycle safety awareness. I&#8217;ve had multiple friends who have been seriously hurt or killed by reckless drivers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Fetzer noted that the social media account of the suspect has been made private and he recommended that people do not post comments towards him, but let the legal process handle the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In addition to hundreds of cyclists, other road users had responded with shock at the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;BMW enthusiasts do not claim this guy or condone this behavior. There&#8217;s room for everyone on the road,&#8221; read a response from a southern California BMW club, Original Westside Riders. &#8220;Obey the law. Share the road. Be polite to on [sic] another.

A few miles down the road, him [Weiss] and four buddies stop on the side, waiting in line at the [Crystal Cove] Shake Shack, a local burger joint. Cars will usually get in line and wait at Shake Shack, blocking cyclists, which is fine. We move to the left and we go around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;But this time, these four individuals got out of their cars, ran into traffic, pushed into the two right lanes, blocked us. They told us they were going to kill us, and tried tackling us. They didn&#8217;t only do it to us. There were two other cyclists that weren&#8217;t involved with us at all who were also put in harm&#8217;s way by these guys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;In shock, I stopped with these two cyclists who were already on the phone with the police, trying to get an officer at the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;Through this entire process all I want to do is share bicycle safety awareness. I&#8217;ve had multiple friends who have been seriously hurt or killed by reckless drivers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Fetzer noted that the social media account of the suspect has been made private and he recommended that people do not post comments towards him, but let the legal process handle the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In addition to hundreds of cyclists, other road users had responded with shock at the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;BMW enthusiasts do not claim this guy or condone this behavior. There&#8217;s room for everyone on the road,&#8221; read a response from a southern California BMW club, Original Westside Riders. &#8220;Obey the law. Share the road. Be polite to on [sic] another. How hard is that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Fetzer will ride with Cadence Cyclery p\/b Waldo Racing team this season, which will focus on one-day North American races that are part of USA CRITS and American Criterium Cup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><em>Cyclingnews<\/em> has reached out for comment by Fetzer&#8217;s legal team.
