A 75-year-old Erie man has been ticketed in connection with a widely seen You Tube video, which shows a horn-honking driver tailing two cyclists on Colorado 52.

The Colorado State Patrol anounced Thursday that James Ernst was issued a citation for : Harassment (two charges) (a class 3 misdemeanor); Impeding the flow of traffic/minimum speed regulation (a class A traffic infraction) and Improper use of a horn or warning device (a class B traffic infraction)

The state patrol said in a news release that “the citation is based on an investigation by CSP of a male driver in a Ford Explorer driving behind bicyclists, slowing down to their speed and continually honking the vehicle horn while refusing to pass the bicycles which were riding near the right portion of the travel lane.”

Dirk Friel took the video while he and a friend were followed for about five minutes during a Sunday morning ride.
