Default Driver 'threatens cyclist with bat', then gets very polite when he realises he's on camera

Any British cyclist who is not armed every time he gets on his bike,
is a fool.

It is folly to rely on a helmet cam, because this bully boy was
content to back down and drive away, but sooner or later, a
psychopath is going to beat a cyclist to death, and take his camera.

The cure for road rage is called 'Smith & Wesson', but that's not
always possible, so for the love of `echo $DEITY`, carry a D-lock!

A bicycle is probably quite effective - if not in attack at least in
defence. Just hold it up between yourself and the aggressor, or raise
it above your head and bring it down on them to cause discomfort and
entanglement.


I would welcome any footpath riding cyclist doing just that, I've always
said that I'd give the cyclist first slap.
Then, it's *my* turn.
