Badass Brokerman

You don't often find cycling related stories on the humorous sports blog Deadspin, so you know this one has to be juicy.

From the original AP article by Pat Milton:

Christopher Carter, 44, a broker at Maxim Investments Group, was at Equinox gym taking a spin class, a high-impact workout using stationary bikes. He apparently became so fed up by member Stuart Sugarman's hooting and grunting during the workout that he picked up Sugarman and his bike and hurled them into a wall.

Apparently, this is being hailed as the first case of "spin rage." But if you read the original article that gives the dimensions of Mr. Sugarman (Image: Deadspin), this might be re-classified as another case of "roid rage."

What's even more surprising about Mr. Carter's display of anger is the fact that the market has been doing fairly well lately with the Fed dropping interest rates [by half a percentage point].

Perhaps Mr. Carter was the only broker who "took a bath" in light of the news?
