The cyclist stood his ground. The motorist responded with something like "It was only for a moment." Cyclist proceeded to record the situation, and posted the motorist's license plate to youtube.
"I blocked it, knowingly, but just for a second." Is not an excuse for blocking a bike lane, the passing lane of I- 94, or a Handicapped accessible van parking spot. In the video, I feel that the cyclist was right (and within his rights) and behaved well, the inappropriate language came from the driver.
In posting the video, unedited, I am concerned that other laws and norms may have been broken, which will continue to cast cyclists in a bad light.
