Before KATU has a chance to recreate it, we have video from the cops from the bike vs.car story earlier today:
The two witnesses were able to get out of the way, but Rehnberg ended up on the hood of the suspect’s car. With the victim hanging on to the suspect’s windshield wipers, the suspect drove northbound on 58th at a high rate of speed. When the suspect reached Southeast 60th Avenue, he slowed down enough for the victim to get off the car.
Check it out:
HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE: Victim of road rage attack…
Amy suggested I should probably note: We added the audio. And by “we” I mean “me.” Although I’m sure Brian Schmautz would have, too, if he’d had time.
Adding music. Oh you’re so funny and ironic you witty hipsters!!! Did you add music to the Iraqi beheading videos too? Any hip indie rock you can tag on, please do. Seriously, that’s incredibly funny and totally ironic.

“Did you add music to the Iraqi beheading videos too?”
Coming right up…perhaps “Under Pressure?” Or “Bridge Over Troubled Water?” It’s a tough pick, I’ll be honest…
“and i will always love you” maybe a dolly/whitney mash up
btw, i would totally put that video on my employment resume.
WTF? Portland, the bike city is suddenly becoming a Bike-Car war zone. I’ve been bike commuting for 20 yrs and have never felt so much tension on the road between Cars and Bikes. Last night I was rolling down Interstate ave, not running any lights, on the side of the road… and some lady pulls up alongside and begins yelling at me to get off the road. I will admit I felt the urge to smash her fucking tail lights in. I just smiled and waved, but WTF?!?!?
Are cops Dead Moon fans? If true this could really turn things around.
That’s a freaky video. He really slammed on the breaks at the stop! Glad he ended up getting some sense and letting the poor guy off.
I have to say that I still feel pretty relaxed as I ride around. But I ride on quiet residential streets about 80% of the time. And I go out of my way to do so, because (for example) I think gliding north on 17th or Rodney is more fun than racing between cars on Williams. I don’t care which is fastest.
