Female runner assaults, niche cyclist (or vice versa) Bibury

I doubt many on here would defend either attacking folk or killing stuff for fun.

Well, attacking people in the street is because you disagree with their views is illegal, riding your bike along the road slowly, isn’t.

Perhaps car drivers should be allowed to get out and beat up people at critical mass/reclaim the streets, because they committed the heinous crime of getting in their way?

or are we going to let people start attacking others every time they do something that they think should be illegal? Doesn’t bode well for abortion doctors, does it?

Do you think the words ‘Calm down dear’ were heard?

I was going to move there. Looks rough. I’ll stay in Buttershaw.

I dunno, I felt like thumping the bloke on the bike as well after watching the first half of that vid.

+1

If it’d been in one of the following cars I’d have got out for a chat with him. I wouldn’t have just waded in with the fists flying but there are plenty of people who will in those circumstances.

Would have been funnier if he’d twated her out cold.

Who wan’t to bet the nutters in the car who anthropomorphize animals to such an extent they spend their nights crying for foxes….knew he was part of the hunt and were stalking the old man in an attempt to frighten him.

The animal rights twunts do it to scientific researchers and their families, one accosted me once outside a laboratory and had the audacity to push me. I flattened the pricks nose across his face.

bwaarp…heard of “tarring them all with the same brush”?

It’s what thick people do.

Full video shows it a bit different…

Still think it is hilarous how she has to step back into a (bad) stance raise a (bad) guard before she performs a (bad) kick.

Whoever taught her that should be ashamed.

I flattened the pricks nose across his face

Yes I’m sure you did….given how hard/stupid you sound….

As for the old bloke on the bike, the second video shows the situation in a completely different light. I think someone needed to have a word …

It’s what thick people do.

Except when 90 percent of animal rights activists are actually mentally disordered twunts.

They tar everyone else with the same brush, apparently torturing mice to save children with leukaemia makes you as bad as a teenager who sets horses on fire for fun and later goes on to become an axe murderer.

In the grand scheme of things…. considering there are wars, famines, massive environmental degradation etc etc…. what kind of a person gives a hoot about and dedicates their lives to saving foxes?

Well done, Sir!

Stereotyping a political group is not the same stereotyping a race, cynic-al.

Are you saying that anarchists are anything but deluded idiots? Or should I respect their movement as a whole because one or two of them are nice?

bwaarp I’d say you should just stop being prejudiced and thick.

My guess is you won’t, and beyond the above, I am not biting.

Hope your mummy tucks you up nice tonight.

I’d say you should stop being such a cry baby in response to what was a bit of a troll.

Ah, the “Edinburgh Defence”.

Well done, once again!

“I would guess that the view that human beings matter to other human beings more than animals do is, to say the least, widespread. At any rate, I wish to defend speciesism. – Jeffrey Allan Grey

Anyway put your handbags away girls, do we know if any of the protagonists have been found yet?

Aw, why not sign in as your alter ego and join in?

There is no Ampney Coln… nowhere has that place name – it’s a ward for local government. Also, the B4425 isn’t that narrow

Pedant mode off…

Is the mans life on the bike (could have quite easily fallen off and given himself a fatal head injury) worth more than the drivers being held up and or the saving the foxes lives that the whackos in the car were so intent on doing.

See, animal rights misanthropy. They enjoyed seeing the man assaulted because he’s connected to the hunt. His life is of less value to them than heroically saving a smelly ginger dog. Leading to my main point which is that they are sick in the head.

And I reserve my right to be a totally closed minded jerk towards these people because humanity spent the past 10,000 years+ being natures bitch. Where were our rights when a sabre tooth decided to eat us? Where were our rights when hyenas came in the night and stole children? Where were our rights when we suffered the bubonic plague? Where were our rights when the environment decided to crap our on us and ruin out crops leading our brothers to starve to death?

What moral obligations do we hold to those animals/environmental factors that hold no moral obligations to us? The only moral obligation we have is preserving the planet and it’s ecosystem is to support humanity at a sustainable level. That is it.

Surely the clever reaction (wiht hindsight of course) would have been to get out of the following vehicle jog on in front of the bike then walk very slowly til either the bike and cyclist fell over or crashed into the walker from behind.
Beat him at his own rather clever game.

Run in front of cyclist
Waggle hips
Watch cyclist ride into ditch/wall…

Youv’e all got it wrong ,I think he’s cheated on her ,with her sister

Even with the full video, there’s clearly some story missing: the old guy is trying to stop them getting past. That’s either because he’s trying to stop them as hunt monitors or because they provoked him and we’ve not seen that bit…

In that situation I reckon any car would roll down the windows and ask to pass and / or give a beep. Where is that in the video?! The fact that that section is missing leads me to think it did happen but the car occupants were a bit heavy handed with it and riled the guy.

@ traffic law experts:

What view would the rozzers take of the cyclist’s actions? Can’t be right to impede traffic and not let it pass?

Technically, careless cycling (due to him not showing consideration for other road users).

Practically, stop him for a minute, the cars drive past, tell him not to be an arse, leave it at that.

Rule 68 is “you MUST NOT ride in an inconsiderate manner”.

TBF druid, I reckon he was winning a Sportiv at the time.

I wonder how many cyclists never break that law?

Thanks everyone.. This thread has given me a right good chuckle. 😀

Rule 168
Being overtaken. If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let the vehicle pass. Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass.

Could be all sort of fun and games with that one!

MIght get taken as a personal attack.

I thought it was against the law to obstruct the highway?

Also, rule 68 is “Rides are to be measured by quality, not quantity.” Isn’t it?

It still does not excuse assault. Kicking and punching someone is all well and good if you get assaulted first, doing so when she had other options such as blocking him and bringing him to a stop in a controlled fashion is quite frankly disgusting.

You should never find yourself hating someone so much you are willing to risk their life over something as trivial as this.

They should both get community service, with the bird getting considerably more for assault.

*whoosh*

*whoosh*

Go on? Is this because of tangling with an animal rights protester outside a lab I was getting work experience with? I know a lot of friends who research in Oxbridge who get death threats from animal rights types, this bloke was masked. Surrounded by his mates. Perfectly within my right to defend myself.

I know students who have been stalked to and from their homes at night by these people.

PETA et al are nothing more than terrorist organizations.

IF YOU DONT LIKE COUNTRY PURSUITS GET BACK IN YOUR AUDI’S, SELL YOUR SECOND HOME AND GET BACK TO SUBURBIA WHERE ITS SAFE.

rant over, carry on

No need to shout.

I like country pursuits and I expect most people on this forum also do, given that they are mountain bikers, and ride IN THE COUNTRY. What I do not like is the killing of animals for other peoples pleasure.

I also live in the country and have notices more Audis here than in the city that I lived in until a few years ago. Although, I am not really sure what cars have to do with it.

that was a bit shouty wasnt it…sorry

so come on then…who wouldnt mind there grandad being beaten up over people riding horses round a field chasing a wooly jumper with fox pee on it.

As the days of packs of hounds chasing foxes is legally over (if this isnt the law please ignore my ignorance)

What I do not like is the killing of animals for other peoples pleasure.

however if they are doing it as a valid vermin control method (again legal) this is ok?
