Will they be willing to share that video when they assault a hiker with their bike by failing to yield the right of way and running them down?

> Just as there are laws against mountain bikers on the PCT, which any hiker can confirm are difficult to enforce.  "Gosh, officer. I'm really sorry.  He startled me coming so fast around the curve, with no warning, and I jumped back into the brush.  I must have stepped on a stick that flew into his rear wheel spokes.  It was just an accident."
