I make no comment on the rights and wrongs of either party but the fall at the end is superb 😀

Two prats arguing.

Last bit is amusing though

Neither comes off well there.

Seriously though what is it with some people. That driver has issues.

The fall is pretty amusing though 😳

Has to be Portsmouth!

Absolutely hilarious! 😆

That is hillarious. 😆

Made my day but all cyclists where ever they are riding need to where helmets.

Well if they can’t find them they can’t wear them.

The cyclist’s initial comment was fair enough and the response was not. Scary how ill-informed the driver was, and how badly he took the comment…

Mind you, a good, solid primary position would’ve kept him behind in the first place, and a narrow, residential street with a junction coming up and cars parked either side is a perfectly justified place to take primary IMO and gives the cyclist more control over the driver and helps reduce the fear which then turns into anger…

If/when this goes viral the driver will get his punishment from any friends he has. Feel sorry for his son… really sorry. Can you imagine having someone like that as a role model…

What is the world coming to?

That fall must have hurt though!

That fall must have hurt though!

Actually, given he hit his head hard on tarmac he may well have been concussed. I wonder if the cyclist checked he was ok… one the one hand, it’s the right thing to do, on the other you’d be scared you were going to get a punch…

That fall is comedy gold

the cyclist needs a good hiding….imho. plenty of room between him and car.
or any cyclist filming on the road needs a good hiding..imho.
just looking for trouble or confrontation.

The driver sounds like Zippy off Rainbow.

Why chase the driver?

Needless antagonism.

Prat fall was still funny, though.

what the captain said.

Can’t believe this but i’m going to agree with you. Plenty of room for the cyclist. He’s as much of a bell end as the driver. Not to mention making his getaway down a pavement. The fall was funny though.

looked plenty of space in the overtake to me. cyclist was looking for a fight and got one.

What a sanctimonious knob. The cyclist that is. He deserved to be knocked off. No sympathy with him whatsoever. Plenty of room. The driver repeatedly tried to drive off. Cyclist seems like a proper tit IMO.

ach I’m sure videos from this cyclist have been on before, he has dozens of him starting on people on his youtube account. ****.

No need of the cyclist to give chase.

Driver’s actions of course completely unjustified.

Cynic-al’s crystal ball says many on this thread will focus on the cyclist’s behaviour rather than the driver’s…which will be pretty tragic.

plenty of room between him and car.

Utter rubbish – there’s no way you can tell from the video.
If the cyclist (yeah he’s a pillock) took exception to the driver being too close, then he was.
Chasing him, then running away was pathetic though. But a win in the end 😀

Regardless of how much room there may have been, all the cyclist did initially was dare to say the car driver had passed too close. There are some fragile little egos out there, and too many of them are behind the wheel of a car.

The driver smacks his head pretty hard. Probably could’ve done with wearing a helmet.

Which is absolutely fine. He even had it recorded should there have been an offence.

My problem with the cyclist here is the furious chasing after the car for a confrontation.

Early days, but so far the cyclist needs either a good hiding or to be knocked off. No word yet on what should happen to the driver.

True dat

and the driver could have just said “Sorry mate I was a bit close”

But then they cyclist could have also not chased him across town looking for a confrontation.

No winners except the internetz!

@ teasal – now imagine that 😆

and the driver could have just said “Sorry mate I was a bit close”

He could even have said “I don’t agree, there was plenty of room”. But no, he had to go from zero to “run you c**** over” in 5 seconds.

Ooh this could go viral

I didn’t listen to the audio so no comments on the rights or wrongs there, but the wide angle lenses on GoPros and the like can make things look much further away than they actually are.

AHAHAAHA

Right pair of pricks. They both deserved to enjoy each other company.

Those helmetcams often make things appear further away than in real life.
I have a video of the red at aston hill, as I went down the whoop about halfway down I lost the front end and nearly headbutted a tree. Yet on the video it looks like I missed it by miles.

Anyway, the video is pure gold. Some great comments as well:

“Why don’t you get a car” – in his M reg 405.. Quite good condition, but still worth less than any of my bikes.

“WHERE’S YOUR **** HELMET! WHY DON’T YOU WEAR A HELMET”

….two minutes later falls over and smashes his head.
Where’s his helmet?

That fall in slo-mo is outstanding 🙂

He deserved to be knocked off.

He deserved to be assaulted with 1.5 tonnes of metal? Good that you keep some perspective…

I shouldn’t find pleasure at someone else’s misfortune but the dive into the Tarmac pool at the end has really made me laugh.

Both complete knobs! Especially the cyclist for giving us all a bad name!

Did the driver give all drivers a bad name?

plenty of room between him and car.

Really?

Not sure how this is discernible from that video.

Looks too close to me and it was nowhere near ‘give motorcyclists, cyclists and horse riders at least as much room as you would when overtaking a car’.

The road is one way, and narrow as it allows parking both sides, any sensible, conscientious driver would have sensibly waited behind.
