Bully Road User

This road user didn't like my road position and decided to make a point about it. Why? How long did I hold him up? Does he have any understanding of why I chose not to be in the lane at that point? I wonder what his employers think of this behaviour....

This goes to show any old idiot can get a bike and go on the road. A cycling licence might be a good idea, make sure there is a minimum level of riding skill before your aloud to cycle on the road.

@rhinoboy111 A cycling licence wouldn't make any difference. Has driving licences made car drivers any better....? :-)

I gotta say, the van has a point.

he doesn't know the reason you're in the road. for him there's a cycle path. I would have just gone slow in the cycle lane.

think about other road users asshole.

@02qwerty

I really hope that the van doesn't have a point. That makes it a much more dangerous weapon..... ;-)

the point being....?

@TheCarbonfiend

....lost on you, obviously! ;-)

I have to say that with the majority of your videos it's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. Yes there were potholes in the cycle lane, but the majority of the time it was well maintained and clear, nothing to stop you just coming out where the holes were and moving back in afterwards. With other videos you're highly confrontational and often a very arrogant road user, perhaps necessary to provoke a reaction, thereby getting exciting footage for upload.

And once again what we gain from this video is that IF you had actualy stuck to the cycle lane(the lane for bikalists) there would be no confrontation.  I was DELIGHTED by the conduct of the other bikalist, brilliant lane discipline from him. You sir let the side down.

@magnatom Mate, you give cyclists a bloody bad rep, get your riding accessed by the plod, they'll teach you where its all going wrong and it is mostly YOUR FAULT 

[Dan47702]

How can you post this you weren't in the cycle lane, it is very inconsiderate as you can't travel as close to the speed that other vehicles can. It means they have to wait behind you at times which is why people get annoyed.

[raksoen]

I understand that he is pissed, there is a bike lane. And you are on the road??

[smelly6911]

Why do you try to cause road rage everywhere you go??

[MichaelDeBeir]

You have to drive in the cycle path, the other cyclist could do it, why you not. You are just looking for problems and an accident.

[labyonnette]

You should consider yourself priviledged to have a bike lane. You caused the van driver to alter his course to around you. Its typical isnt it of you arrogant, aggressive, self opinionted fucking morons that ride bikes. Donate organs, run over a cyclist

[KelticWoman1]

Well - why weren't you on the cycle path?

[glazierEd]

Perhaps you should switch to a motor bike? All of your problems that I have noticed, stem from two problems. #1 Your low speed is inconveniencing others. #2 You almost defiantly chose every lane except the bike lane. I ride an Ebike and usually can travel three times the speed of a conventional Bicycle. Stay safe, and don't lose your temper so much, Life's to short.

Question: The other cyclist in this video coaped fine with the "bad surface" of the cycle lane, why couldnt you?

[XXdriver2000XX]

I think you miss the point most of the time magnatom, its not about being delayed most of the time, people just hate being stuck behind cyclists, its human nature, you disrupt the flow of traffic, and riding outside the lane just makes people see red
