A bicyclist had been riding westbound Tasman Drive along the curbline, because there is no bicycle lane and passed vehicles on the right. Traffic was moving around 5-10 mph due to the 49ers game having let out. The bicyclist said a driver intentionally swerved toward the north curb as he was passing on the right. The cyclist stopped his bike to avoid hitting the front passenger quarter panel and was struck in the left shoulder by the side mirror. He was able to catch his balance and hit his ankle on the curb, but stated he was uninjured and had no complaints of pain. The cyclist confronted the driver in traffic and argued with the driver and passenger, who both said there had been no impact. They drove off. The car was found at the driver’s residence later with no obvious damage. The driver later voluntarily provided a statement to DPS.
