The polka dot top is what you win as being the fastest mountain climbing cyclist in the "Tour de France" race. It's not a Lance fan thing, just a cycling fan thing.

Who hurt you?

If you cant do the right thing in such a situation you are simply unfit to drive and should have your license revoked.

Pretty sure they'd give them a standing ovation and a medal. The American right seems to *loathe* cyclists.

Probably something about an illegal gathering of bicyclists and how every driver should strive to protect themselves from the roving gangs as this one did

"Tourists hit cyclist and fled the scene"

... Probably Americans.

*reads the very next line*

Wow, I'm soooooo surprised. Shocked, even.

Can American tourists not be shit for FIVE MINUTES???

While I can emphasize with people being panicked and scared of consequences for doing a major fuckup, I believe that its in those moments its most important to stay on course of what is moraly correct.

As most people, I have had moments where I did not live up to the words above, and those are the usually moments that bother me the most on sleepless nights. The moments when my actions did not live up to my morals.

and as the US has over 800x the population of Iceland, it could be seen as if that couple hit over 800 American cyclists.

I was on his side until I saw the picture of him in the polka-dot with the stupid fucking hat. Chill out, bro.

But yeah, doesn't that bring criminal charges in Iceland? The whole hit-and-run?
