Updated - Video: "Cyclists are their own worst enemy. They deserve to die!"

Well done that woman, superb!!!

Thank Christ I don't live in London. I agree with the Boris Johnston bit, but as the lassie says, for different reasons. Well done in dealing with it as reasonably as she did.

The picture is about as flattering as it could ever get. Guess he is a narcissist at that.

JRW - what are you like?

Oh the old red herring. Road CC please don't say 'nobody pays road tax' just because they call it something else. In the context that to drive certain vehicles on the road, a tax is paid then it is a road tax. No semantics can change that. It also doesn't account for the rest of the £50 billion a year that are exclusive driver taxes either.

If the cycle Lobby wants to win an argument, dishonesty isn't the way to do it.

I don't support a road cycling tax or registration but I cannot support any statement that denies that drivers pay exclusive taxes to drive either. Please try to be honest about this and educate your members to be also.

Off topic... but I had an interesting experience this morning.

Commuting in, and going through a set of lights I found myself effectively moving up the left side of an articulated lorry... this in turn was following the road which curved gently to the left.

The point I'd quickly add here is that the lorry was in the far right hand lane of a three lane carriageway, his lane was blocked, mine was free... so I was not about to get crushed or anything.

Anyway, the lorry is moving slowly (5-10mph) I'm travelling at about 15mph, and I'm maintaining a consistent distance from the side of the truck (1-1.5m), when suddenly the lorry stops and starts beeping its horn at me.

Now I get this... his trailor is following a different arc to his cab, and I can understand that someone could be caught out by this... i.e I was not really following what best practice.

So I understand what he was moaning about.

The point however is this... He could clearly see me. I was supposedly in this famous blind spot we all hear about, and he clearly saw me.

Anyway, I digress.

Not sure the man in the video was actively bullying, I think he felt that he had a valid opinion that he wanted to share beyond his 12 followers. The woman in question did as good a job as possible.

I've met his type before, and also the ones who when you disagree with them, try and punch you, and or drive their vehicle at you. Let's hope he gets named and shamed and can't hide behind not "being recognised". How do you make dangerous people like this rethink their attitudes?

I had exactly the same thing when I was cycling on Friday. I was taking a break to look at my map and had a complete stranger come up to tell me the cycling has no benefits and is the most dangerous thing I could do- backing this up by saying he spent 5 and a half months in hospital after being hit by a car not wearing a helmet.

Bear in mind I was wearing a helmet, fluoro jacket and front and rear lights- hardly my fault he wasn't wearing a helmet.

Makes me wish I'd had my head cam >.<

yup, that looks like the chap.

This seems to be the blog he was going on about: http://rabbit2020.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/what-is-connection-between-fred...

What a pillock. Let's hope this comes back to bite him on the arse. Good on the girl for standing up to his utterly unprovoked bullying.

He is the sort of bloke who wont go away after latching onto a woman in the pub. The sort who walks up to group of women picks one out and asks if they are on their own...and then wont leave.
Smug idiot.

He looks a lot like a bloke who came for an interview some years ago when I worked at my former company. My colleague and I listened to what he said during the interview and alarm bells began to ring. Afterwards we checked the online blog he'd referred to and it contained some rather offensive comments. I didn't offer him the job.

If this was the same person, and the physical similarity plus the comments being made are of note, then he doesn't seem to have changed much. He is greyer but just as obnoxious.

Weirdo. She handled it very well.

All too common, I'm afraid. Morons posing as decent people

"Look mate, go home and take a double dose of your medication and maybe get laid..."

On a serious note would he have said the same to a man or did he feel safe picking on a lady pushing her bike?

My hero. She nailed it. Calm and intelligence and the face of a smug sociopath with an elevated view of his own genius (he probably hates himself, hence the show, poor bastard).

Applause.

Why do we assume mental health issues? These sorts of beliefs are utterly prevalent in society. That's the big problem we face.

wow. I'm almost speechless at his idiocy.

Well, he's a creepy little bully isn't he?

It really is quite funny how people think they can start giving you shit if you try to completely legally walk your bike somewhere. I once made the mistake of walking down a pavement with a space4cycling sign on my saddle which encouraged a lively conversation with a gentleman that had previously been pissing up a shop doorway.

I very much doubt this weird shithouse in the video would have been as lippy with fella walking his bike.

Beautifully handled. What an odious toad he is.

Oh my goodness, Harry Enfields 'you don't want to do it like that' character has taken a life of its own!

What an odious man, glorying in the deaths of others - lets' not all rush to his funeral eh?

The woman handled that extremely well.

He may well be having some mental health issues, but he's not so far gone as to pick on someone his own size...

what a sad pathetic little man. It really should be surprising that some people are that ignorant, but unfortunately it isn't

Bravo for keeping cool, reasoned and calm. I'd have reacted differently and been much less articulate

Bravo for the calm, measured 'reasoning' with the unreasonable. I think I might have lost my head

I think that man has some mental health issues.

This worries me massively as he is beyond reasoning with and genuinely believes that he's in the right, and he has a car...
I wonder if he'd be able to confirm exactly when I stop being a cyclist and start being a "human being".
