'Cycling' cafe owner launches raod rage attack at cyclist

[DBSV8]

what the hell was he wearing some sort of gimp suit ?

very strange

and as soon as he started threatening to kill , he would have got a left hook proceeded by his keys being removed and lobbed over the hedge

little bloke syndrome

[benny.c]

Especially for nitrodave:

Lance: Still got your Malibu?
Vincent: Aw, man. You know what some fker did the other day?
Lance: What?
Vincent: fking hit it with his cycling glove
Lance: Oh, man, that's fked up.
Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of st fked with it.
Lance: They should be fking killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.
Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that asshole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.
Lance: What a fker!
Vincent: What's more chickenst than fking with a man's automobile? I mean, don't fk with another man's vehicle.
Lance: You don't do it.
Vincent: It's just against the rules.

Bloke is a nutter, but the shouting match was over at least once before the cyclist threw in another comment which restarted it all. It seemingly would have continued longer if not for the man with the blue bike. Nutter gets back in the car and starts driving off. I'd be really, really glad he's decided to bugger off. Why rile him up more? That's crazy.

I cycle on the road and I still don't agree with this banging the car thing (nothing I've seen in the video implies he did that though), and believe me I am frustrated on a daily basis by being passed too close. It seemingly only causes trouble, and I've read the comments in this thread about letting people know you are there. But say you bang on the car and they just carry on driving. Will they actually learn to give more room? I doubt it, because they don't know what did wrong. As far as they are concerned, enough room is not hitting you. If they do get out of the car, they're probably not going to want to listen to you explain yourself.

Good post.

You seem to be of the opinion of me; why make this person a part of the rest of your life?

For every person saying "I'd hit him"....it's a big black range rover. In this case he was a little guy. But bugger me, you just know you'll get the 7ft martial arts expert. Why do that? Why risk it? some of the things that have happened through the years (road rage attacks...even deaths)...it's simply not worth it.

I guess I've been quite lucky over the years; the odd close overtake, but nothing much more. Certainly I've never found myself in a shouting match. Weird that some people seem to find multiple examples of that.


edit...as if to prove my point,

.... in the follow up he drove his van directly at me and I only escaped because I bunny hopped onto the kerb. He then got out the van and chased me on foot with something in his hand. Looked like a wrench, couldn't be sure. At that point, I decided that the time to talk was over and cycled off.

Quite simply; fk that.

I'd be interested to see how this affects his business. I'd expect poor trip advisor reviews and Facebook/twitter comments and photos would make a difference to his business.

It's not like Ryanair where all good publicity is good, he's not offering the cheapest option. He's London based and trying to attract the kind of people that would be put off by the negative publicity and image.
