Raging bicyclist screams at driver that he has more rights just to be fined when he calls the cops

An irate cyclist is going viral for flipping out at a young driver — screaming “I have more rights than you!” — just to be the one fined when he called the cops.Videographer Pierce Kempton, 22, filmed lycra-clad 73-year-old biker Gary Peacock breathlessly raging at him while accusing him of driving too close in Park City, Utah late last month“You’re not going anywhere!” Peacock shouted, yanking open the young driver’s Subaru door when he said he just wanted to “go skate.”“You’re not leaving!” the cyclist shouts, dropping an f-bomb as the younger man turns the camera to show how “bro’s got his hands on me” as he’s held by the shoulder.Kempton remains calm throughout most of the more than 6-minute video, asking: “What are you doing?
