Why would you want to tell the world about an incident like that. Social media = unnecessary evil IMO. :fum:

Good to see justice was served....  :goodjob:

Unfortunately there are plenty of drivers out there with her attitude.

And it's surprising how many people (here in Australia) don't know that both cyclists and motorcyclists can ride 2 abreast legally.

Yes this is true,not so much the motorcycles,but the pushies they are like any vehicle as well, to travel to the left of the road,not like you see most of the cycling racing People who ride two,three,four and six abreast,which in fact is not legal,except for the two abreast

what mine or Rusty's,I know exactly what Rusty is saying,many out there have absolutely no respect or thought for either cyclists or motor cyclists and some even have the abstract thoughts that Cyclists DO NOT have the right to be on the roads (D*#kheads)

She got what she deserved.

i think it's scary how many people who have no respect for other kind of road users.

Having said that, especially the bicycle riders ask for trouble, the way some of them behave in traffic.

That cyclist was an idiot.  There is a big difference with cycling as a way of commuting, and cycling amongst traffic as that cyclist did.  A very expensive and embarrassing lesson for the cyclist.

My apologies, Trev.  I agree.  Two idiots AT LEAST in that video.  Commuting cyclists generally don't cycle like that.

Damned Right Phil,he would have had more than a bruised ego,bloody idiot,but I can guarantee if the first bloke had made it I bet,as long as my arse points to the ground the bloke with the cam would have followed if nothing had happened.
