Turns out that the irate motorists owns Brew cafes frequented by many cyclists.

Think it's a place to avoid in the future.

I saw this yesterday, what an angry little man

i like one of the comments "these rumours that jason wells drives under the influence of cocaine need to be stopped"....

I wish they had just decked each other with a double KO, win - win as both seemed to be a tosser.

Funny thing is that his twitter account was discovered, upon which there was a picture of the road rager standing on some scales. Tiny peenor clearly visible in the reflection

Been following this on STW. Hilarious comeupance and internet sleuthery, culminating in finding perp's own unwittingly photo of his tiny manhood hosted on his own ttter account.

Deserves it all, unhinged nutter and he charges £10 to 'adjust a gear cable' ffs.

The fact that these days a personal argument between two people can potentially ruin someones business due to one person filming it and putting it online is not a great situation is it?

The driver was a tt but the cyclist was too.

Couldn't help but notice the back of the Discovery 4 is a really neat design....

if you own a public-facing business - don't act like a tt in public

Having some angry tt get out of their 2 tonne tractor, assault and threaten to kill you can tend to irk one.

Nah, both deserve each other. The driver wins the wker contest by some margin though. The other cyclists plays it right, the one with the camera didn't.

Another cycling video. Another cyclist strapped up in his lycra and GoPro Road Warrior gear ready to dispense Street Justice. And yet again ending up crying and screaming like a fking baby when the car driver calls him out on his bhing

Load of bks.

You've not watched the video then.

Road rage aside, the burgers in that cafe look pretty damn good.

Just seen this, some of the comments are brilliant.

The power of social media at his best . . . not the business exposure he was hoping for!

Sorry, but the camera in this case does not lie. If it was one of his till monkeys, or waiting staff that got filmed having a very public mental breakdown, then no, it shouldn't really get wound up like this, to the point it might affect business. BUT. If you are an owner of, or investor in, a business that has cyclists as a significant proportion of it's income stream, then FFS think about what you are about to do BEFORE you leap out of a three tonne beast and start leaping around like a demented Leprechaun.

The guy is an arse. Plain and simple. Regardless of how the cyclist behaved, he needs to reassess his suitability to hold a driving license. The fact that his business could be affected is a GOOD thing. The law is weak, and frequently fails to even detect this sort of behaviour, let alone actually deal with it robustly. Hitting this sort of moron in the pocket is the only way to make them realise just how far beyond the bounds of acceptable behaviour they have gone.

How stupid must someone like that actually be, to get irate at cyclists using a road that actually leads to Richmond Park? Very stupid indeed, I think. If you don't like cyclists, or are simply too inept at driving to pass them safely in entirely normal road conditions, then perhaps you need to seek alternative, less stressful routes? Or maybe start using public transport?

All through that video I was laughing so hard it hurt. Ridiculous Paul Hollywood clone, in a frankly ridiculous outfit, behaving in a ridiculous manner in public. He deserves all the ridicule he gets. The only thing it was missing was somebody finding his keys, and riding off with them. If that had happened, I think I'd have laughed myself into a coma...

Cyclist not the best at defusing the situation but trust me, when someone does something like that to you on a bike, it means that you're not going to likely be calm and collected, so I can understand why he was so angry, there was no point there where any harm was ever going to come to anyone apart from the cyclist, throwing your car at people deserves the utmost punishment, brandish a knife at someone and you can expect serious trouble, sadly driving your car at someone isn't punished with the same vigour, yet, but really it should be.

As for the bloke in the car, sure its the power of the internet and why you should think first, especially given his business, but he had no reason to get that angry he wasn't in danger, he wasn't held up, he wasn't anything, he flew off the handle and I think he has paid the price.

Nobody cares when someone gets id'd via the web for throwing a cat in a bin and losing their job, but when it involves someone driving their car at a cyclist its harsh and it shouldn't have gone this far? Do fk off.

The cock picture is just the perfect cherry on top of the whole thing. Moron.

Funny how those who feel the need to carry a camera always manage to find trouble eh?

Right at the beginning, close as it was the car started to pull in ahead of the bike - not good, but that sort of stuff happens all the time, you could see it coming, just back off a little and let it go. Not unique to car on bike either. But no, because bike is making a point he pushes back into the closing gap and kicks off. EVERYONE needs to give a little..

Yup, Mr Brew is a moron, but Mr 'Cyclist' is just as bad. Shame is, that's what too many people now believe a 'cyclist' is.

I think that is the equivalent of victim blaming.

If you watch again you will see the disco move along side, then dramatically slow down and pull in, presumably because of the oncoming car which he had failed to spot.

Cyclist has another cyclist right behind him, and I would guess was spending most of his effort trying to stay upright.

i'm honestly mystified by what you can find wrong with the cyclists riding before the LR swerved in on him

Rubbish. I'm no supporter of the helmet-cam brigade but the bloke in the RR was a fking lunatic and totally in the wrong.

The thing that annoys me most is that I think he actually got the better of the cyclist there and intimidated him. I was really hoping he'd get leathered as he certainly deserved it.
