    Not meaning to offend any cyclists on here, but as funny as this video ends up that bloke has a point.
    Some cyclists really boil my pish on the road. Especially ones that have a mate and evidence to cycle side by side :emoticon-0121-angry

    I was rooting for the Driver like. As a pedestrian cyclists are taking the ****ing piss. Middle of the road's too fast on pavements, zigzagging about creating hazards everywhere and they're kicking off with people left right and centre goading people. Saying that I'm gutted the driver didn't face plant the floor.:(

    Agree, cyclists (most who wear the lycra ****e) believe they are above the highway code, annoys the **** out of me and there are times when I want to run the ignorant ****s off the road <steam>

    I disagree, there were cars both sides of the road parked and he the cyclist had a good three foot to his left to work with.

    I he thinks he's got some kind of case he's got his camera and reg. But what does he do? He pursues him for a mile goading him until he the driver attacks, what a ****er. He created the whole situation. If he's going to goad people he thinks have wronged him sooner or later he'll deserve the slap he gets.

    Follow me through the streets I'm going to kick right off. <laugh>

    My thoughts exactly. The problem is half of them think their Bradley fecking Wiggins. I've had to stop myself from making a sharp left turn when driving along side a few of them !

    I bet, If he hit me I'd set about him. They think they own the roads and pavements. Pricks.

    But that was the car drivers fault for parking next to the pavement where the cyclist wanted to ride

    I'd make sure his next bike had 3 wheels, a battery and a basket on the front!

    To be fair, Tom Daley's dives aren't nearly so graceful!

    His riding style is fine. Leaving a car doors width (which it appears is the distance) from parked cars is reasonable and smart. For what it is worth, everything else you say is spot on. My last post wasn't clear, I only meant his actual riding.

    I hate defending cyclists, as you rightly say, they are usually a menace on the roads!

    Are car door width is a bit much for a narrow street like that imo. It's his reaction is what really gets my goat

    Not really. His reaction is OTT and he is clearly goading the driver because he has a camera on his head!

    I wonder how many have managed to bag themselves convictions with their cameras.

    Probably enough. I have toyed with getting one for my car considering the amount of idiots I come across on the road.

    May as well protect yourself now that cyclists have decided to use them for evil.
