mtb4ever: I've read through many of these postings and am astounded at some of your comments. On the subject of what started the whole thing - littering. Mad Max actually said, "So he littred big......

Litter did I Know: If any Driver/person/biker throws litter on the ground/ out their window into to my path, I am always ready to regift it to them. I don't need to throw it at them but if they......

Vancouver Cyclist: Any chance of the Morotorist and the Cyclist getting together with Hool to shoot some pictures and talking this out? Let's assume that both are sorry for their actions. And that we all agree that littering is......

We don't have these problems in Vancouver: Kudos to the motorist...Who does this woman think she is? Mother Earth's right hand lady. Honestly, if she had a problem with the litter, why not throw it in the trash. Its......

- - -: The cyclist had a lot of guts to stand up to the motorist when he littered, and the fact that he threw it back at her was just plain wrong. This whole issue could have......

Eric the Yellow-bellied: Eric: "I'm a cyclist and a motorist, so maybe I have a unique prospective..." WhatEVER. Many of us who are primarily cyclists also have cars -- I'll lay odds you're a motorist who owns a bike.......

Eric: I'm a cyclist and a motorist, so maybe I have a unique prospective...I would never litter, but IF I DID, and this self righteous tree hugger threw it back in my car, I would have......

pedestrian pal: Rather than go on and on about cyclist versus motorist lets consider this. People who litter are pigs, people who seek out confrontations like this are fools or worse yet, holier than thou. ......

Dan: I can't believe I read this far... Because of the notoriety of this blog entry, its not surprising to see so many trolls coming here. I have to believe that a lot of the angry people......

Dan: That motorist should be charged with littering, fined and made to do public service like pick up the litter that "back side orifaces" like him throw on public areas. I have done the same thing......

babs: I've had two days worth of blog comments to read. What I've noticed is that there seems to be two camps of opinions. One belonging to the cyclists and one to the motorists. I......

JimboToronto: I live on Augusta Ave about a block north of where this occurred but missed it due to being out of town. I am neither a bike courier nor a motorist, but my sympathies lie......

Kathie from Burlington: When that motorist decided to litter on the street he littered on our world, our space. When she threw the garbage back into his car, she was littering only his personal space. What......

Chapter Cycles: Having read through all previous comments (there will no doubt be a few more) as well as all versions of the event, I am decidedly sympathetic towards the driver. I am both an avid road......

I heart kensington: Bike Couriers are some of the most vile, foul mouthed people in the city. I used to walk past them at their hangout on Temperence st. while they pounded back beers and chain-smoked weed (and......

What's Really Going On Here: It's interesting that this is primarily a concerned citizen vs. a s***head matter, not a cyclist vs motorist issue. The reason why it has exploded as the latter is due to the decades of......

foodfight: It's the litterbug attacking the cyclist, kicking her bike and bringing her down to the ground. Not exactly a pacifist response. He obviously popped a major valve. Litterbug would have shown more self-control if the......

so right about some drivers: To the person who wrote: "the most entitled drivers (excluding cabbies and anything oversized) are luxury sedan drivers. It is no surprise that motorist was driving an Acura." So right!! When I'm waiting to cross the street......

I can't believe what I read!: while some people are really articulate individuals with a sense of humor and enough intelligence to make me wonder... WTF are they doing defending a guy that contravened a municipal by-law, assaulted a PERSON, and......

Unbelievable: Both parties in this are definitely ego-monsters. I agree with the above poster(Sault Ste. Marie) and many others. The courier should have taken down the plate number and reported the motorist, and picked up the......

Both sides: I have read/heard both side of the story. Unfortunately, the "motorist's" side was stated by his fiancé and not by him, as the actual participant. Both sides are plausible but I am still......

NO ONE DESERVES TO GET BEATEN: It's disappointing to read and see what transpired between Leah and the motorist, involving, and endangering the lives of themselves and those around them. It is even more disappointing to read the comments here endorsing......

To 'She Had in coming', 'The Motorists' and Everyone else.: It's too late to defend this very very dumb individual. Why is it everyone who claims to know him personally writes the exact same way? So "Brother in Law" are the kind of......

Alfred: The Motorist should spend at least a couple of months for littering. Toronto is our city, not the living room, washroom or garage of the motorist. He MUST learn once and for all to keep......
