Millionaire lycra-clad cyclist, 73, gets nasty shock after screaming ‘I have more rights than you!’ at young driver

A millionaire lycra-clad cyclist called the police on a young driver he claimed came to close to him… only to end up with a bigger police fine than the man he accused. 

Gary Peacock, 73, was filmed ranting and raving at skateboarder Pierce Kempton, 22, in Park City, Utah on September 22 while calling the cops on the younger man. 

During the more than six-minute showdown posted on Kempton’s TikTok page, Peacock angrily accuses Kempton of driving too close to the cyclist and holds his car door open and threatens the young man while he called the police.

‘I’m riding a bike, I have more rights than you!’ Peacock, who lives in a $3.5 million Park City home, yelled at one point.

Later in the exchange, he tells the skateboarder: ‘If I have it my way, you’re going to jail. I’ll press charges against you.’ 

‘Perfect,’ Kempton replied. But Peacock’s furious phone call to police ended in a fine of $160 after he was cited for disorderly conduct.

Kempton meanwhile, was handed a smaller $130 fine for passing too closely, KPCW reported. 

Kempton told DailyMail.com that he had ‘no clue’ Peacock would approach him after passing him on the roadway and was ‘just confused’ by the whole interaction.  

Dashcam footage posted to Kempton’s TikTok page shows him driving along a narrow two-way road and veering slightly to the left to give the cyclist a wider berth.

Regardless, Kempton’s driving left Peacock boiling, as he raced after the skater to give him a piece of his mind.

The older man can be seen standing outside the car and aggressively opening Kempton’s car door while yelling: ‘I’m calling the police and you’re not leaving! You’re not leaving!’ 

‘What are you doing? Why are you so cranky?’ Kempton asked calmly as he got out of his car. 

Peacock at one point placed his hand on the young man’s shoulder to try keep him inside the vehicle while he dialed police, referring to the 22-year-old as a ‘very aggressive teenager.’ 

‘He’s recording me because he’s a jerk, and I want you guys to come and give this guy a ticket,’ Peacock said on the call. ‘I’d be willing to testify against this guy in court.’

Throughout the incident, Peacock called Kempton a ‘liar’ and an ‘a**hole,’ while accusing him to attempting to leave the scene. 

Peacock also said he didn’t ‘feel safe’ after Kempton’s friend, who he was meeting at the skatepark, stood near the front of the car while the confrontation unfolded. The cyclist accused the pair of ‘intimidating’ him. 

When police arrived, Peacock backed up his bike to meet with an officer, who told him to walk back from the scene.

‘I’m the complaining party,’ Peacock told the cop. 

‘Fantastic,’ the officer replied. 

In a follow-up video, Kempton showed an email from Park City Assistant City Attorney Tricia Lake saying that his citation would be dismissed. 

In the same email, she told Kempton no additional charges could be pressed against Peacock, as he had already paid his fine. 

‘The only thing further I can do is a civil lawsuit,’ Kempton told his 8,400 followers. 

Kempton received a $130 fine for passing too closely, a citation that he said was later dropped.

Peacock later told KCW that he initially never intended to call police and simply wanted to tell Kempton to be more careful. 

‘I lost my temper,’ he told the outlet. ‘I didn’t go there with the intention of hitting them or doing anything but just telling him: “Hey, you came way too close to me. And I’m upset about it. I’m angry about it.” And then his reaction just set me off.’

Peacock claims to have had plenty of close calls while cycling and said that he’s never confronted anyone before. 

‘This guy, unfortunately, was the subject of my wrath, because of all these other incidents,’ he told KPCW. 

Utah law requires giving cyclists and other ‘vulnerable’ road users a three-foot berth when passing. 

Several cyclists have been injured in Park City from accidents with motorists, according to KPCW.
