[alternate take: cyclist behaves like a dick and pisses off driver who will now hate all cyclists]

Well he’s a touch annoying
I just thought Mr Cyclist was a bit of a dick.
More trigger happy TV than annoyance at cars.

This, several times over
God there are some fun-sponges on here.
I fully empathize with this guy, even if he is being a dick.
Roads are meant for going places,parks are meant for hanging around. If I cant get into top gear,those responsible should pay for my extra diesel(pollution) etc
Riding down the mountain in thailand, 77 bends, Id get so furious when I was held up by a tourist bus, taxi, whatever, and make some sketchy passes, a couple of close ones..
Even when I got back int town I was still buzzin, ready to take on all the traffic
Is it always like this with roadies? I avoid road riding
...If I was American... 😆
Love people saying the cyclists a dick. Obviously car drivers who "get held up" by cyclists too.
A.R.S.E.H.O.L.E.S.
I just launched the Poe’s Law app on my phone and now look what you’ve done.

Car overtook him and jammed its brakes on. It wouldn't have done it to another car, and it made no ground at all. Cyclist didn't get aggressive or even argumentative, just took the mick out of the driver. I wish I could be more like him and less aggressive when people behave like dicks on the road for no reason at all.

You've spouted this sort of shite before on here. Why does your need to be somewhere NOW trump those people who want to arrive safe, or use a different form of transport? Remember Rule no. 1.
I assumed that was just trolling…?

Pretty much this.

I dunno, see cars doing that to each other all the time. Dicks tend to be dicks to other people irrespective of where they are and what they are doing.
Did alric’s waffle actually make sense to you?

His previous post along the same lines was so ridiculous it stuck in my mind. If it is trolling, at least he's consistent. Cars in top gear at high speed use less fuel than going slower in lower gears, (and the fast driver should be compensated for their loss). 🤣 He's no rocket surgeon.
Form.
edit - sorry, thought that link would go straight to it. It's right at the top of page 2.
That was a great response. Coming to the mean streets of South Manchester soon 🙂
I have to say though, the driver was pretty respectful about the amount of room he have the cyclist when he passed. If every driver gave me that much room, I don't really care what they do after that.
I have to say though
Shame that.

What did that do wrong, though?
He does a great Kermit the frog impression around 20 seconds into the video.
That made me smile! I think the chap on the bike did a grand job of making the drivist look foolish and impatient. He carried on cycling sensibly and wasn't overly aggressive (in my opinion). Hopefully the person in the car will reflect on their behaviour after this. Probably not, but it would be nice if they did
