Hora, chill.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Nice family, I hope a cyclist doesn’t nip in front of this driver before he hits this cable. I really hope you’re not being serious.

😆 Of Course, the Horacek’s are a well known Manchester crime family 🙄

Lets have a fight? Oh please.
Pistols at dawn surely?

Looks like Im commuting discreetly tomorrow, I dont want knocking off my bike 🙁

I’ll keep my Dan Dare/Public school’ism’s firmly in my mouth.

I shouldn’t really share this, but I like to assume an Edwardian Gentleman approach to such issues.

You should have approached him and said;

“I say, you were frightfully close to me back there, do you have some kind of objection to my method of transport?”

” I feel I should remonstrate with you, as you appear to be less than fully concerned at my apparent discomfiture”

” I shall insist that I gain, at the least, satisfaction. If you cannot indulge me, then I will extract the same by means of fisticuffs, and send you on your way somewhat chastened!”

” Take that, and that, and this, and be so kind as to respect my right to the roadway in future.”

Might be a better approach?

you should have pulled up next to him and ether rung your bell in an angry manner of slapped your whang on his window. That’d learn him.

and i bet he had a staffie in the car with him as well!!!

I think we need to bring back duelling. Obviously given your target would be the challenged party he’d get to choose weapons. Smashed bottles of stella maybe?

MrNutt, its entirely the wrong time to seagull someone 😮

Some pillock nearly knocked me off the bike on my commute last week, chased him round the block twice, found where he lives………..

However by this time i had calmed down and laughed at my self for wasting my time with cretins. His time will come and it will be his own doing.

Hora – I give you 10/10 purely for saying “let’s have a fight”! I imagine if he’d obliged it may have been followed by a few minutes of “are we hitting faces? it’s just i’ve got a meeting later” or similar.

I find myself blushing at the thoughts of all the times i’ve kicked off with drivers who’ve nearly killed me after reading all of the “live and let live” comments – I wish i could be like that (so does my missus!).

Syringe- paint stripper..

weapon of choice…;-)

Thing is, its only when its been very close that I flip. If we were in a bar and someone bumped into you at the top of the stairs and just shot you a look rather than apologise what would you do? The consequences of knocking you off are potentially alot more severe than a broken collar bone whilst riding a trail arent they? Dirt/earth tends to give you grazes/bruising but landing on tarmac at speed is alot more severe.
I drive like an absolute tit sometimes, I readily admit this. However near vunerable road users I tend to slow right down and give them a wide berth. Someones selfish act can end up in a severe injury for an innocent party and would they stop?
If a cyclist doesnt complain the driver thinks he or she can get away with it. Maybe I should have kept my calm, cornered him and merely been sarcastic but yes he felt fear- which was worth it IMO. I bet he checks outside his office window constantly as well checking his car.
I’m probably one of the most happy-go chilled types in person but when physically threatened I react just like everyone else.

pwnd him. lulz

I bet he checks outside his office window constantly as well checking his car I bet he doesn’t, I bet he just laughs at you. I could imagine you are more worried about meeting him on the road again than he is about seeing you.

I’m probably one of the most happy-go chilled types in person but when physically threatened I react just like everyone else. Really?

So it seems okay for you to drive like a prick but you get upset when other people do it. I really don’t understand you.

Chomp. He was the one who wouldnt get out of his car to face a nerdy cyclist.

eh maybe he couldn’t be arsed rising to your silly taunts. 🙄

Someone offered me out I’d either talk them out of it or take them up on it. I most certainly wouldnt sit in a car saying no and try avoiding eye-contact Stevie Wonder head movements spring to mind 😆

Maybe he was embarrassed for you.
