Man filmed pushing cyclist from moving car

The seven-second video shows a passenger in the car leaning out of the
window as it approaches a cyclist before pushing the rider with both
hands into a ditch at the side of the road.

Other people in the car can be heard laughing as the rider hits the ground.

Many of the 1,100 commenters on the video have reacted angrily, pointing
out that the perpetrators could have caused the cyclist serious injury.

But more worryingly, hundreds of Facebook users have tagged their
friends in the comments section saying that they should take up the
challenge of pushing a cyclist over.

That was filmed a while ago and apparently the Irish police have tracked the attacker down after an appeal.

I imagine they were.

But most laughed hysterically I would bet.

This could become a new Olympic sport 'cyclist jousting'.

I **** them up by blowing my horn and giving them a gob full of screen wash.
This new sport sounds interesting.

We should establish some rules early on, get in on the ground floor.

Into a ditch 10 points.
Over a hedge 20 points.
Landing in cow pat 30 points.

Do you think points should be added or deducted if cyclist wearing
helmet or hi-viz?

To me wearing a hi-viz jacket makes all the sense in the world. I've worked
in some very bad, dangerous places, so a hi-viz goes in the favour ****** on
the bike.
Wearing a helmet also goes in the favour or the ****** on the bike, this as
it makes sense to me.

Makes sense to award less points for hi-viz as they are easier to see.
Good thinking.

I have worked as a contractor in some terrible places, as in chemical
plants. This was real bad ****. Real bad ****.
I never once saw a bicycle in the parking area. The employees were well
paid and could afford a car.
