I guess when you deliberately brake check a group of cyclists and run over their bike you might feel a need for protection when you confront them! It's good he didn't actually use it, but he had already used his vehicle as a weapon.

There are certainly plenty of cases of road rage against cyclists that do end with attacks and injury, including right here in Hamilton:

Of course, anyone (cyclist or motorist) can get into a road rage and injure someone, but there is something about cyclists that drive a small minority of motorists into a rage. Any regular cyclist eventually encounters one of these crazies ... and they can be very dangerous.
