In fairness she was in the wrong. I'm sure any other person would've just cycled around her by going up on the footpath and not said anything but by not saying anything would this stupid bitch keep doing the same thing over and over, or will she actually learn from this?

To ride away he had the choice of either going on the footpath or the wrong side of the road, two things cyclists always get abuse for. He's just trying to cycle properly, within the law.

What does the guy in the car directly behind the woman say to the cyclist at the end of the clip?

Your man was right, but a complete knob about it and your one is a psycho and clearly can't drive. Why the hell is he cycling around with a camera on his head posting videos anyway? If I had a camera in my car recording the sh!te that people get up to on the roads then my youtube channel would be a goldmine, but I don't because I'm not a clown like this lycra clad fool.

She made a mistake....no one is perfect.

He was very quick to launch into a speech f-ing and blinding all the way.

Seemed a bit much.

Why would someone cycle around filming themselves all the time - is it because he always gets into arguments with people and wants to upload them on the internet to 'prove' he's right?

We all get various minor problems on the road, without the need to blow them into a big hissy fit drama.

He's very brave as an anonymous cyclist.
If he had to wear an identifying number on his back, I bet his tune would change.

well then she should have just apologised, moved to the correct side of the road, and drove on.

But no, she ranted and raved too and started saying how she was a woman on her own. She didnt accept any responsibility for making a mistake.

I bet he's gas craic down the pub though. Recording everything in case he needs to refer back to it later.

I'd be more inclined to say he's a militant type who just happens to be a cyclist. If he didn't cycle, he's the kind of guy who'd be standing at junctions with his camera, taking photos of cars stopped in the yellow box and giving out to drivers whose wheels are 6 inches over the white line.

Yeah, but maybe it's time to have more guys like him. I have a dashcam in my car and amount of ****y drivers that camera records every day is unreal. Absolute no use of turning signals, constant red light braking ( I know, I know first 10 cars only), standing on yellow boxes, cutting someone off a meter before him etc. The famous attitude of "ah sure it's all grand" has no place in traffic. No wonder that guy went nuts.

Maybe she would have.....if he had given her a chance.

He started swearing before he even has to stop his bike and uses a combination of the word '****' and '****ing' a total of 8 times in the first 20 seconds.

I honestly think if he had just gestured for her to move over instead of stopping and launching into the amateur dramatics a lot of time and energy could have been saved.

As for the OP - the woman clearly has issues and so does the guy - I hope the video goes viral and the woman is identified, I'm not a cyclist but common sense would suggest that if you are driving in the middle of the road (even if it is a narrow road), if there is space you pull into your left if traffic is coming against you.

The cyclist is right - even if he's being pedantic, I only hope he takes the same attitude towards other cyclists - the ones that break red lights and fly through junctions despite oncoming traffic, or those that seem to think its perfectly ok to cycle on footpaths or up a one-way street the wrong way.

Although she was in the wrong, I mean where was he supposed to go? he did have a camera helmet on. This just proves he was looking for some drama.

that double standard one liner was great though. Cracked me up.

The rules of the road is out of date. That requirement was repealed last October.

He probably goes home and reviews his videos and uploads the best ones for his cycling buddies to critique. What a f**king knob.

That "I'm a woman on my own oh my god" and the cry for help is a pretty scummy thing to do. Hope she's absolutely ashamed of herself.

And he if hadn't been there it wouldn't have happened, and it cars hadn't been invented.....and so and so on. It did happen and it's about how you deal with it. She stooped fairly low to defend herself and he is just an obnoxious arsehole on the look out for conflict who is only dying to get into a slagging match to boost his ego or whatever he gets out of it.

I'd have more respect for the cyclist if he had just gone up to the woman and explained her mistake but it seems clear now that he is just another idiot that likes to upload to youtube. Rolling around on his bike looking for someone to p1ss off.

On the YouTube upload comment he said he'd cycled 43K this morning so you can understand his impatience. He shouldnt have gone off the deep end but if he'd overtaken her on the right, he wouldve been on the wrong side of that entire line of traffic. Shes completely in the wrong, and is clearly a stupid unreasonable bitch.

The ROTR are actually from December 2009, there's been a considerable number of changes since then, not just the cycling bit.

They should probably make a more prominent note of that on the website so people don't quote them on other websites as the road law bible

If I made a mistake like that woman I would apologise and try rectify it. If a guy started hurling abuse at me like, I'd tell him to go **** himself and go on my way. She was wrong in the way she drove but she was right not to apologise once he started abusing her.

Maybe he overreacted a small bit, but when ya have to deal with this stuff all the time ya get kind of fed up. Also, if he moved to the right to go around her, he would then be on the wrong side of the road, and have to move back across traffic. I don't see why he should put himself in any danger because of her stupidity

Here's the actual rules of the cycle lanes.

Cycle tracks

A cycle track or lane is a reserved part of a roadway for bicycles (not motorcycles) and can be either:

mandatory, or
non-mandatory.
A mandatory cycle track is bordered by a continuous white line on the righthand side. It is only for bicycles and motorised wheelchairs, so no other drivers may use it or park in it.

A non-mandatory cycle track has a broken white line on the right-hand side. The cyclist may leave this type of cycle track if:

they have already indicated they want to change direction,
a bus is letting passengers on or off at a bus stop located beside the track, or
a vehicle is parked in the track while loading or unloading.

And in that other video with the white Audi and the mini, he should have been in the cycle lane.

But minor incidents happen. Its how you deal with them that makes the difference.

LOL @ "I'm a woman... on my ownnnnn". :rolleyes:

In one video this woman has managed to harm the public perception of women drivers and women victims of abuse/voilence. Tip of the cap to her.

The woman is clearly an loon and has a serious chip on her shoulder but the cyclist also seems like a bit of a tube too. He's in the right hough, so well entitled to stand his ground.

Wonder will she be in a rush to get sell her jeep now that 04KE2631 is famous!!
