She didn't need to say anything to him, then swears at him as she thought having a camera on her head would mean he wouldn't react to it.

It's way over the top from him but more and more cyclists are getting themselves into situations where they think they can either dictate to people, or agressively react to minor incidents because they're recording everything.

Optimistic as ever

Few thoughts on the subject of Cyclist.

Motorist are easily traceable - registration numbers - DVLA records etc. Cyclists are anonymous - could be anyone under the helmet and behind the shades.
Hence cyclists can - if they choose - get away with bad /illegal behaviour with little risk of sanction.
The same behaviour by a motorist would probably result in at least a fine or worse. While many cyclists do obey the rules a large minority do not for these very reasons.

While on the subject of cycling - How can a broken white line 1 meter from the curb - often running for only a short distance - with cars allowed to park over it be considered a cycle lane? This is just bureaucratic, form ticking, tokenism. Rant over.

Nearly every day I see cyclists run the red light at the clock tower in Brighton near where I work. One chap nearly hit me whilst I crossed the road and despite my anger I quite politely shouted "mate, it's a red light". He turned back over his shoulder and yelled "F*CK OFF YOU F*CKING C**T". He was quite an average looking middle aged man. I couldn't believe it.

After months of this sort of thing, it felt like a triumph when one guy went right through in front of a police car. The policeman got out and got him to stop saying "Sir, do red lights mean anything to you?". The cyclist went "Yeeeesss" like a petulant 14 year old. I didn't stick about but I have a few mates in the police force and they said the coppers will have loved slapping an on the spot fine on him....something he might have gotten a slapped wrist for if he hadn't tried to bait the policeman!

I've given a few arsehole cyclists a hefty shove on several occasions, with varyingly entertaining results.

I'm a road cyclist .Vespa rider and car driver when I'm on my bike I use the same rules as I would on my scooter not to ride in the gutter nor ride in the middle of the road .i know we can ride 2 abreast but why do it when you know there's a que of traffic behind you so annoying and they look behind and see the traffic build up that's my only gripe with some idiotic cyclists

Being a 6'5 20 stone rugby player, used to love being called out in my little Corsa and the look on their faces when I unfolded out of it!
