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.


Plan B - if you have a bicycle with a rear rack - is to grasp the rear
rack, and swing the bike around at head level, two hundred and seventy
degrees, aiming it at the psychopath's face. Once he goes down, aim a
very hard kick at his testicles, before bringing your entire weight down on
the front of his throat, through your knee.
