"My name is Mr Penis Head"
Discussion
ds.My favourite was the guy in Cornwall last week, he was descending pretty quickly, 40ish kms, and a taxi was coming the other way up the hill, beeped him, so rather than shrug it off, the cyclist turns round and goes to find him to ask why he beeped him.
Taxi driver says "you were going a bit too fast and its a single carriage road so you dont know whats around the bend, you were in an aero tuck position, limited visibiity etc", cyclist tries to start a massive argument and looks like a tit in the process.
I stopped reading road.cc because they keep posting these videos aparrently showing cyclists under attack. As others have said, dicks on bikes and dicks in cars always seem to find each other....

There is a comment on youtube saying "Mr PH"...I hope they don't think that he's a PHer!! 
Hmm, he might be associated with PH, if his name is indeed as stated on youtube..
It's probably not a great idea to act like a bell-end* with your name on your car..
I had someone come as close as ever to t-boning me yesterday, and immediately wished I had a camera as he sped away at such a rate, I never got his plate..

It's the same old story - if you go looking for trouble, you'll probably find it.
That reads like you're blaming the cyclist. The car totally cut him up either by accident or deliberately and then reversed on to a roundabout to confront the innocent party - even accusing the cyclist of provoking him! He should be banned from driving and locked up. Daveyraveygravey said:

He should be banned from driving and locked up. One type of cyclists would see Mr Penis Head approaching the roundabout too fast, lift off a touch, let him pass and think to themselves "aren't you a prize bellend".
A second type of cyclist thinks "I'm in the right, so why should I slow down".
It's invariably the second type who wears a camera and records every ride. Mr Penis Head is equally wrong in both scenarios, but for the sake of a second or two, why go looking for hassle on your bike?

Whilst you're quite right, there does seem to be something particularly belligerent about cyclists with helmet cams. I've cycled around 6,500 miles in London in the last three years, and I've only seen three cases of full on aggro between a cyclist and a motorist. In every case, the cyclist was at pains to point out to the motorist that he was being filmed.
Hmmm. Whilst there is an obvious temptation to agree, the videos we see are by definition from cyclists with cameras, one wonders who is in the majority? And the plural of anecdote is not data, assuming you don't actually have deity like omnipresent powers alongside your thousands of miles, helping you witness everything that happens everywhere.swerni said:
I have it on good authority that Mr Penis Head is in fact a PHer.
I won't say who, but I'm sure it will come out if the thread runs on

Given his name is plastered all over his car he's not difficult to find. Twitter and Facebook removed and website now "under construction".

Judging by his reputation on PH, I very much doubt he'll be back here any time soon.
