This is such a hero villain situation. Bravo to those cyclists who stood their ground.

I had someone do this recently in Central London. I swerved on my bike but the truck behind stood their ground.

I don't understand why he didn't get a U-lock in the teeth. Honestly, though, he's attacking cyclists with his car, and he got to leave completely uninjured and with no damage to his vehicle.

This is bad design. If a bike path is large enough for a car to get on it and it is next to a road with bad traffic design that holds up cars you should be able to anticipate someone will create a problem. So you should add some vertical columns in the center. Not very many of them because that's a nucence. Obviously a clear trail is preferable. But two or three polls will make this a non-issue.

At first I thought surely this is staged for the video (what social media makes us question these days) but the police showing up made me believe. What an idiot driver.

Classic entitlement and ego. In different scenarios, Darwinism would remove the drivers genes from the gene pool
