Driver Attacks Cyclist Road Rage Video
 

Came across this today:
Apparently started when the A7 crept slowly into the cyclists-only "box" and one of the cyclists pointed out that the car was in the box.

The A7 sped away, and the cyclist chases the car apparently because the car almost ran over his right foot... And then... the rage happens...

Watch:

What do you guys think?

and a more descriptive descriptive one here:
Video shows Audi passenger PUNCHED cyclist before pushing him off his bike in road rage | Mail Online

what do I think?

I dunno, although the car shouldnt have been in the box, but I fucking hate cyclist that thinks they own the road.

so...

Cyclist was not wearing a helmet and was at some point in every single lane.

This just happened in Van.


Vancouver police say no charges in cyclist vs. driver fight in viral video (with photos, video)

Both were to blame, though the biker seems to be a bit more retarded out of the 2 imo... The A7 is at fault for being in the bike lane sure, but by riding your bike then stopping in front of him what does the guy expect the A7 to do, just drive slowly behind the bikes? It's clear that the A7 was going to pass the bikers either way even though he was in the wrong, but the biker is just putting himself at higher risk by purposely biking in front of the car.

Car goes around biker in preparation for the green light to pass him, biker gets right up against the side of the car to tell the driver he's in a bike lane. Seems like he does it aggressively too further provoking the driver, who already doesn't seem like he's the most friendly guy out there considering what lane he's in. No shit he would have almost gotten his foot run over, he put his foot right by the car lol. He had no reason to need to get so close to the car just to tell the guy about the lane. Car then speeds away even more pissed off.

Biker catches the car at the next light and is pretty obvious that he wants the people in the A7 to respond by the way he yells and flings his hands in the air. Not surprising at all that the guy in the car came out to shut the biker up... Not that he was right in doing so by any means, just that the biker continuously asked for it.

My opinion of course.

Hey I saw this in the news, but never got to see the video.

Thanks for posting that.

EDIT: From what I understand the biker instigated the fight after the driver made what was most likely an honest mistake. Hitting someone elses car or pulling stuff out of their car through the window and throwing it along the road is asking for a nice ass kicking. So the biker fully instigated. It's too bad most people will watch the video and only see the biker getting a deserved beat down, only because the camera guy didn';t start recording in time to catch the biker do what he did.

Just goes to show how drivers are fed up with cyclists and their bullshit. Constantly forcing bike lanes, etc is only going to make the issue worse. Plus the lack of policing of the cyclist retards lets them break numerous laws and get away with it. If they are on the road, they are considered traffic and need to abide traffic laws. Not all of a sudden decide to go up on the sidewalk when it's more convenient or run red lights just because they can. If someone did that in their car they would get a number of tickets and have to face a hefty bill.

IMO both cyclist got what they deserved. Yes you might have got cut off or had a car pull up next to you at a light to pass, but as soon as you chase down the car and start berating , damaging or taking items from the car, what did both the British or Vancouver cyclist expect to happen.

or just have 7seven follow you around for a price lol

I saw the first news report where they interviewed the biker. Sure enough he did not mention anything about taking something from the driver's car. Damn hipster bike moron...

Yes, the car was illegally in the cyclist box, but why is the cyclist being a dick and making a big deal out of nothing? The car did not delay the cyclist's travel in any way. The cyclist should have just let the car go instead of chasing after him and making a big deal out of it.

Cyclist deserves it.

Yep. I'm a cyclist and both cyclists deserved it i'd say. Idiots.

Speaking as both a driver, motorcyclist, and cyclist. These are strictly my own opinions.

Driver: The way I see it, he was just moving out of the way to allow room/space for the cyclists, seeing that so many showed up throughout the duration of the light. He was being mindful.

Cyclist: Too much testosterone. Should have kept to himself like the rest of the cyclists.

Bitch got owned. :)

They're both idiots.. but the cyclist got what was coming to him. If you ever bang on some guys car.. better be ready for a fight.

I hate asshole cyclists who think they can do whatever they want and then get pissed off when vehicle drivers don't act in the manner that the cyclist wants them to.

This summer, I had to follow a mother and young daughter up a hill that the daughter could barely make it up. They were both down the center of the road with a separated bike lane on the right-side of the road. Got into a shouting match with the mother because I wasn't giving her daughter enough space (I was at least 2 car lengths back) while she was going so slow it wasn't even registering on my speedo, so maybe 5 km/h. I definitely could've been walking faster.

This hill goes up around a blind corner, too, and I made sure to tell her that she was unnecessarily endangering her daughter's life. She tells me they're not second-class citizens, they don't deserve to be segregated from "you fossil-fuel burning planet killers," in reference to the bike lane segregating bike traffic from regular traffic. Yeah, and unnecessarily forcing me to idle up a hill on my way to work is doing so much good for the planet ...

Fucking hippies

I seriously hate some bikers. Living and working in DT you would know what you have to go through on a daily basis with some of these punks. I'm not saying all bikers are bad because I bike some times when the weather is nice but some of these bikers are looking to start shit for no reason. I can't tell you how many times I've seen bikers outside of the bike lanes cutting through traffic, fingering drivers, slamming their brakes in front of cars to piss off drivers. And than you have aggressive bikers who flip off other bikers who might not be going fast enough.

It's ridiculous if you ask me and it's only going to get worst as the weather gets better.

i understand the bikers pov but biker initiated it so :fuckthatshit: made me laugh a bit

Anyone who gets their ass kicked after chasing someone down deserves it in my opinion. If you're not willing to fight then you shouldn't pursue someone you know absolutely nothing about.

I saw an interview or read one with the cyclist where he says the driver grabbed his arm and threatened to break it because he had karate skills or some shit and when the cyclist broke free of the hold he brought with him some papers of the drivers and threw em on the road and told the driver to fuck off (something along those lines anyway)

I heard that the driver was pulling the cyclist into the car through the window so while he was fighting to get away from the death grip of the motorist he threw papers out the window.

Man fuck cyclists, would have done the same thing if one of them fucked with my car except the fucker would be dead.

meh, fucking hate cyclists!

There's a crosswalk outside my work on a bike route. Almost most of the time bikers do not stop for pedestrian crossing and if u cross the street on the crosswalk and the bike had to slow down or stop for you they get piss. Some even yell at you for stoping the momentum. Some bikers are definitely assholes.
