Boston bicyclist banana beaning

Memo to Massholes in delivery trucks: You might not want to throw bananas at bicyclists when your company's name, phone number and Web site are all listed on the side of your vehicle. And, yes, we're looking at you, Boston Organ and Piano.
Hat tip to Brad Searles.

looks like
these delivery guys slipped up (hey-oh) big time.
I, for one won't be doing business with BO&P anymore (mainly because i prefer the sounds of a steinway/roland).
Virtual Perp Walk, Too!
They even have a staff page with pictures of all their employees for easy identification of the donky-kong wanabee.
The important question
Did the cyclist deserve it? Did he run a red light?
Hey Will, I hope you run off
Hey Will,
I hope you run off the rode the next time you run a red light and split your head open. Ha Ha. So funny!

Ummm...
Will, I appreciate your comment, but the truth is, even if he did do something to interfere with vehicular traffic, there's no excuse for throwing anything at a cyclist, thus endangering his/her life.
If the cyclist was being obnoxious, or disrupting traffic in some way, a simple middle finger and shouting obscenities at the cyclist would suffice. It doesn't help you get to your destination any faster if you've got a mound of bloody flesh on the pavement in front of you.
Although, I've gotta say, it's good that he only threw a banana at the cyclist. I mean, from a truck full of organs and pianos? Consider yourself lucky. :-)
I spend time as a pedestrian, a cyclist, and a driver, and it usually turns out to be a three-way war. Can't we all just get along? (cue "Lean on Me" here)
Also, I wonder if the cyclist got at least a little redemption by actually eating the banana afterwards? :-)
Boston Organ and Piano is
Boston Organ and Piano is the company. Let them know how happy you are that they have employees throwing things at cyclists.
What Would Freud Say?
Organs? Bananas? This one is ripe for all sorts of monumental jokes.
Motto!
I just thought this bore repeating:
"If the cyclist was being obnoxious, or disrupting traffic in some way, a simple middle finger and shouting obscenities at the cyclist would suffice."
I for one support their
I for one support their action and hate bikers. I shall use BO&P in the future should the need arrive.
Who shook your bridge?
I'm guessing that the site isn't suffering 3 trolls at once rather than 1 troll thrice. I bet if Adam checks the IPs, this guy is responsible for this stupidity, the 'kaffiyeh' post minutes earlier, and the one concerning the Orange Line and the Galleria (and any other one I might have missed in a different post).
