Has anyone seen this?
Was that car really too close for the cyclist to confront the driver? And what the hell does the driver mean??
metro.co.uk/2014/03/12/liveleak- … O=facebook
Is it me, or is there a small minority of cyclists that seem to go out of their way to get into confrontational situations?
I think it was a set up to take the micky,cyclist nowadays are worse than born again christians 
I think some cyclists with cameras just love to have someone drive close or near them to get a confrontation on camera, some of the videos I’ve watched on youtube, and I have watched alot of them, I think the cyclist (although they were cut up or past to close) deserve a right hook for the way they speak to and act towards the crap driver. If every time someone cut me up or done something to annoy me, I chased after then and stuffed a camera in there face whilst trying to argue with them, I’d get nowhere.
When I cycle and somebody passes to close or what ever, I always think about it, but one day it will be the wrong person who these cyclists look for a confrontation with, and they will get out and stab them or something. I drive in Edinburgh alot and never have had any issues with cyclists, but seen a few, the other day a cyclist was cycling along the road and decided to turn right, into a side street, never looked at the flashy big Audi coming towards him, he swerved over to turn right, the Audi beeped his horn, the cyclist swerved back to the left and gave the fingers to the Audi driver, then kicked the back of his car as he went round the back of it to go into the side street. The guy in the Audi never reacted to this childish action, but don’t think I could have!!! and its a old Astra I roll in lol
The bus following looked like it passed closer to the cyclist than the car did.
and matey boy in the car although not moving but he was NOT parked was using / holding a Mobile phone 
This has been on cycling forums all week. A bit of a non event really, if he’s worried by vehicles passing that close he’d better not come up to the Newcastle area, that happens on every ride I go on.

IT IS A DEAD PARROT!!! 
Hey guys look!!! Yet another YouTube video which bears no relevance to a truck drivers forum. ie no trucks or no lorry drivers involved.
I am sure that was Whitefield drive in Kirkby, anyway, it was not a close call and the cyclist (if it was Kirkby) was lucky not to get his lights knocked out, literally 
I had to giggle at the dead parrot thing, I reckon the fella in the car would have barked but for the love of his parrot 
Hope the parrot survived 
And G6Bob, good post

Chester, its Saturday, we need something to ■■■■■ about with the beer 
Watch the bus pass just after the fiesta. A bigger vehicle yet passes no further away than the car. So righteous these cyclists. Oh and yes, I drive a truck, a car and ride a bicycle.
i do not think he was that close,if these cyclists had their way they would have us driving on the wrong side of the road to give them space and i bet they would still not be happy
