The people on the car were clearly going to overtake him (to make a right turn). Imagine if you were driving a car on the far right and someone decided to overtake you meters before the crossing (even worse that they were going to turn right and cut you off)…
No excuse to be a dick and flip people off, but still, the car could have waited a few seconds and follow the bike instead of overtaking
I wouldn’t be friendly if you either intentionally tried to bully me out of my lane or just completely missed me on the way to your turn.
Imagine that’s a car you just went into their lane on and they blasted their horn at you. How ridiculous would you sound saying “we didn’t even hit you!” The bike has the exact same right to that lane as the car. You screwed up and someone got upset at you for it while you chuckled like an idiot at endangering their life.
You’re lucky he was so level headed. I’ve seen riders knock mirrors off for less (not saying it’s right). You’re in a ~5000 pound vehicle less than 5 feet from a guy with 0 protection (should at least have a helmet). Learn how to drive, if you are willing to put someone’s life in danger because of impatience, get off the road.
Can someone explain to my why everybody is hating op? I don’t see anything in the video where someone is endangered or aggressive (except the biker flipping him off). It just makes no sense to me. People talk about op ‚bullying the biker out of the lane‘. He stayed behind him and waited for a good situation to overtake whats the deal? Is there a law in your country about all this I don’t know? I would love to get a explanation to understand raging Americans more
you know i bicycle everyday, i wear a helmet, my bike has more lights than a carnival. I hate fellow bikers who act like this, dont follow rules of the rude. this guy is an asshole. but to be fair people who drive are some of the most danger pricks ever, not that the people in this video are
I mean that’s some terrible driving. Didn’t stop when pulling out, pulled in between two lanes, and started edging in on the biker so they could make a right hand turn, which would have taken them maybe 15 seconds more if they had just obeyed the rules of the road and yielded.
Then she has the nerve to say “we didn’t even hit you.” These assholes need to have their license taken away.
It’s one way to make sure you’re seen. Some people won’t see an entire human moving on a bike but no one misses a finger thrown at them.
Cars on roads made for horses or pedestrians are a nuisance, I can play spin doctor as well!

You did nothing wrong. Dude should bind around his house
I love how wholesome the laugh is.
Do you have to hit someone to make the finger socially acceptable? Seems like a high threshold.
This is just bad driving.
Those fuckers are the worse.
He’s jealous coz he doesn’t have wiper blades.
Is he mad because “big truck = polluter, meanwhile I’m out here on a bike doing my part”?
Op. Your wrong.
Good old Barrie

Where is a nice dirty puddle you can drive through really fast when you need it.

Look, both sides could have handled the situation better.
Real problem is that there are no bike lanes. On the road traffic with huge speed and protection differences have to co-excist and share the space.
The entire thing could have been avoided with better infrastructure
Was there no big puddles on that road? Cus I would have certainly waited for the « perfect moment » to overtake him.
Just as jealous no-car thing.
Why is this kid on the road without a helmet?! And if you’re gonna cycle without a helmet then DEFINITELY don’t do it on the road!
What a twat, driver literally didn’t do anything wrong. Ah well just give him the finger back and move on with your day.
That’s Barrie for you lol

I don’t think OP is going to keep this post up with all the backlash they get from this video.
Only one person laughing here.
