    To be fair, she was wearing a hi-vis vest, and anyone wearing one must be obeyed regardless.






    Nutbar. :pac:

    I'm a cyclist. When something like that happens it's best to just give a disapproving glare and move on, he went a bit OTT. She was a total looper ha

    Guy on the bike seems like a bit of a headcase, nearly as though he was looking to start something. Fair enough the womans reaction was a bit strong but there's two of them at it.

    tbf shes actually all the way across on the right side where the hell should he go ? up on the kerb ? He is obeying the rules of the road like so many drivers are at pains to give out about cyclists he did nothing wrong.

    The cyclist is a knob.I appreciate cyclists frustration at motorist in certain situations but here in this situation this guy is being a knob. Is he cycling a horse box ? Just go around her ffs.

    As soon as he said "i have camera 04 Ke... " ... knob! :D

    I wonder is he equally as upset over his 2 cycling comrades cycling 2 abreast at the start of the video. Now that's something that pisses me off :D

    Whatever about the situation, the cyclist didn't need to continuously use the F-word.

    The video isn't even safe for work due to that.

    I realise that the car wasn't staying over to the left but you can point that out to a driver without all the F-ing and swearing.

    I'm not sure about Ireland but in the UK that could end up going against you very badly if that were handed over to police.

    You also don't have a right to tell anothet road user to move on! You're not a traffic cop.

    I'd strongly suggest that the cyclist out a bit and sticking to less aggressive language.

    nice jag as hes cycling away there..


    whatever about the guy that woman really annoyed me I have to say.
    she that the helpless woman plea when your man didn't do a whole lot.

    Anyway in this case the cyclist seems genuine enough (stopping at lights etc.) but could've easily went around

    I get the impression that cyclists carrying cameras are more likely to get themselves in stupid situations for the sake of good footage.

    Of course he's in the right, but seriously....

    Can't believe the attitudes toward the cyclist here. The bitch was 100% wrong and fair play to have not (as suggested) just cycled on and forgot about it. Idiots like here must be taken off the road.

    As in the wrong side of her? And then have to try battle his way back over to the correct side of the road?

    ^This,

    I do think he made more of it than he had to,

    yer one was a dumbass, but standing there shouting at her was never going to change it.. people go into shock when things like that happen, and almost never will admit theyre in the wrong...

    He was making a stand. If everyone just ignores and accepts road users doing stupid things then they'll continue doing them probably not even realising they're doing something wrong.

    It might piss you off but they're not braking any law.

    IMO it's kind of like bullying someone out of the overtaking lane - short term it may seem like more trouble than it's worth, but long-term there's a benefit to everyone. That driver was basically trying to force the cyclist out of her way - that kind of behaviour can't go unchallenged.

    Is this guy for real? He is some drama queen,i love the slow motion replay of the mini in this on,he'll be snapped up by hollywood i'd say.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWnlsQwzBZI


    His attitude in this one is totally different to the attitude to the lone woman,as soon as these lads get agressive back he is out of there,where as with the woman he is a finger pointing and using salty language - he is a bully.

    I like how all of a sudden the cyclist seems to be in the wrong. Just go around you say - where? Up on the footpath or onto the wrong side of the road? There is generally a lot of people ranting about cyclists doing just that here.

    Theyre both gob****es. The cyclist lost any moral high ground that he had when he persisted in blocking traffic for two minutes to have an argument with the motorist. Shes in the wrong; make your point and move on.

    They were both stopped, but she was blocking the traffic.

    Love the way the mini stopped once the driver saw him, and he still made a big deal out of it..

    Happens all the time, its called a blind spot, she didn't even cross the white line ffs.

    To all the people complaining about the cyclist, ignore that for a second... are you actually condoning what the woman did?

    Jebus what an absolute moron. I know exactly where he's cycling and his need to take up and entire lane as opposed to being in the cycling lane with everyone else is ridiculous. Also the Mini literally did nothing wrong and the Audi was going a bit too fast.

    Pathetic.

    I can see how this happened.
    The lady didn't see the cyclist in the distance and positioned herself to go around the parked car. The cyclist could have kept more to the left and avoided this situation but chose to occupy a more central position forcing the lady to stop.
    If I were her I would download the footage and report the cyclist for his aggressive attitude towards her and use of bad language. He needs to learn to cope with other road users mistakes and deal with them in a better way.

    According to the description, the girl in the mini was on her phone at the time, hence the slow motion thing. I think. I could see nothing in the car so no idea.

    Im not saying that she wasnt in the wrong, but he could have turned a two minute delay into a 20 second delay by recognizing that she was thick as pig****, saying his piece and then just going around her. Instead they insist on delaying everyone else by having a barney in the middle of the road. She was in the wrong initially, but they are both as bad as each other by the end.

    Fair enough, she might not have seen him before moving out to the other side of the road, but any normal person would have moved back in a little to let him pass, no?
