you gotta question the bikers mates though. wearing crash helmets and your pals just been set upon and you just stand there. the old valleygary windmills would have come out.
Would hardly call it a violent assault, more like an effeminate push
As an retired Ami/Pro Cyclist I can tell you with automatic locking shoes the rider (who was still on the floor in discomfort) was wearing the angle he was pushed to the floor on he could easily have broken a collar bone.
The amount of times I was shouted at and threatened (even when with team and team car) because car drivers get so F*&%ing pi$$ed of if we do not pull of the road when they want to over take is insane
Not defending the Car driver at all, but, Driving in and around London I get annoyed by Some (not all) cyclist when they go past, pushing your wing mirrors (which are there so as I can see them and other vechicles) back or forward. Also the "Red Lights Don't apply to Me, I'm saving the World" brigade p*ss me off.
Again, but, there is No justification for that idiot on the clip.
This is virtually in my front garden?....... These 'boneheads' come to Bexley village for a pissup, and a curry and only seem happy when they have a punch up.
sad, individuals, seen too many over the years to be surprised?
Wow, that's outrageous! In such a hurry that they had to overtake the cyclists in the village, yet they've strangely got time to stop and assault one of them. Hope they catch the scum.
Makes me really miss Bexley Village!! Grew up just round corner from there on Hurst Road.

Yes despite it is a raised platform, in the middle of a busy shopping area, and a 20mph speed limit, by a road junction.......... they are in a rush! to get to Blackfen and get caught in a traffic jam!

Guess they were in a hurry to get car back before owner noticed it was missing.........
Love that Clarkson fella all cyclists should get a twating everytime they jump a red light. id throw more punches than that David Hay tart everynight on my way to pick my Mrs up from work.
I am curious as to whether the cyclist did do something before the camera starts rolling. I suspect the driver is just a tosser but cyclists can really be their own worst enemy at times too.
Something clearly happened beforehand (as everyone has their phone out and obviously someone has been quick enough to record it). The driver is obviously a dickhead but i'd like to know what kickstarted the whole thing.
I couldn't give a shit what kickstarted it. Lord alone knows a lot of cyclists are a pain in the arse, and plenty of drivers are too. What gets my goat about this is that the driver is clearly an utter c***, gets out of his car mobbed up with all his mates, swings a girly slap at the cyclist and then ponces off like Danny Dyer. From the evidence shown in the video, the cyclist could have smashed his wing mirror, punched his mate in the face and shagged his mum - my sympathies would still lie with him.

the fact that someone had a camera rolling must say something.
I had a guy stop his car and block 2 lanes of traffic to get out and square up to me the other day, this was after I complained when he nearly drove into me, he was short and fat and totally unthreatening, so much so that I laughed at him. In my shoes and clips I would have been over like Bamby on ice.
Something clearly happened before, The road is clear in front of the bus and the bus is starting to move off are stopping, before stopping again. Also the traffic has build up behind the group cycling and is clear before.
I am sure that the group cycling didn't let this car past when it wanted past. I said in an earlier post the number of times I had drivers of cars giving me all kinds of hell because wouldn't pull of the road to let them pass when on smaller roads. The fact that I used to be being the speed limit most of the time didn't seem to matter.
c#*t's.
That said I do not want to turn this into some kind of them and us. Most drivers these days do give room and pass when safe. And more and more cyclists will pull over/slow down to let traffic past in moving traffic when space is lacking. Common scene.

What an awful punch
no excuse for violence, but I do wonder what the cyclist (s) did to wind the driver up so much ?
Look at those idiots, does it look like they need much winding up?!

Fucking idiot - if he'd done that to a real man he'd have got the ever-loving shit kicked out of him.
Nah, too much hair!!
the police might be better off trying nearer to norwood
