Apologies if this is a re-post!

When a passenger throws a cyclists bike during a dispute with a driver, things escalate.

    His bike would be gone in London by the time he walked to the mirror!

    Bloke in flip flops fights bloke in cleats. Both blokes are fairly big - but both manage to look pretty silly....

    Few things:

    1. Nothing more annoying than watching your wing mirrors get kicked, hit off your car.

    2. This is only equaled by someone picking up your bike and throwing it to the ground and/or then stamping on it.

    3. If you're gonna get out your car and do the slow 'pub man' walk to fight a guy in slippery shoes, and who can't balance, then you really shouldn't be the guy going down after a punch.

    4. It is really annoying when you're having an argument and some stupid woman has got it in her head that it is OK for her to not only square up to you but also start hitting your head. It is irritating when it happens and irritating to watch. Yet, if the guy unloaded on her or grabbed her boob, for self defense of course, he'd somehow be in the wrong (no doubt screaming, "I'm a woman how could you hit me" Just like the guy he floored, she shouldn't have hit him first end of).

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    Shocking. He really should have been wearing a helmet.
  • Just as well the cyclist was a big guy. I'd have liked to have seen him punch that woman in the face. Sorry but you can't go hitting people and then assume since you're a woman you won't get hit back. I'm all for equality.

    This is what happens when you take PEDs. It affects your temperament and judgement.

    Think how stupid the average person is.......
    half of them are even more stupid than you first thought.
