He drives a forest green pickup and is the owner of a boat business on Hamilton Poole Road called Austin Action Marine.  His name is Michael McDonald.  I am filing today for a protective order against him and will secure a hearing date next week.  While the rage toward cylists is an unnecessary part of the protective order I consider this sort of conduct so egredious that I have a duty to do all that I can to inform the cycling community about this.  I have no compassion for this man and my goal is to make sure he cannot possess a gun after having a finding of family violence against him.  If he contests the protective order I may get him to admit or deny that he has threatened cyclist on Hamilton Poole Road.

Oh the stereotypes.  Yes there is a divorce.  The bike stuff really has nothing to do with it.  He already cracked a vertebrae in her neck.  Let me guess there are people who are in danger because of this guy and I would love to see him stop doing it.  There is really no property in the divorce she just wants her safety.  I just thought a bonus would be to get someone off the streets who likes to run cyclists off the road.  He lives on Hamilton Pool road want to cycle down it sometime?

I am an attorney in Austin.  I have just been retained by and individual, female, whose husband finds it great sport to run cyclists off the road.  She tells me of an incident in Summer/Fall 2007 where in her husband ran two cylists off the road into a fence.  He then turned his truck so the rear wheels faced them as sprinkled (assaulted) them with gravel coming off his back wheels.  This happened on Hamilton Pool Road.  She can recall at least one other instance where similar things happened.  I am trying to get details to use in her case.  I am hoping these cyclists at least made a police report.

Thanks,
