I don't see obvious bike lanes. Towards the beginning the other side of the road had cars driving over a bike symbol. There doesn't need to be a bike lane, bicycles are treated the same as any other type of vehicle. The concept of bike lanes is just to keep drivers off the side of the road. |

Should read: Aggressive Cyclist get his ass handed to him by Driver/Passenger in Farringdon ETA: I'd have stomped his spokes too. No sense in letting him catch up to you again. Make him carry that bicycle home. |

I got trapped behind a cyclist on a narrow one lane road for 15 minutes one day. I literally was considering hitting him when the road finally opened up and he moved over. |

Get ur fucking pedal bikes the fuck off the road. I think most cyclists are self-righteous pricks, but where exactly are they supposed to ride? A fair question. On roads with very light motorized vehicle traffic it isn't so much of an issue, but on roads with heavy motorized vehicle traffic the bikes often become a problem. |

It looked to me like Mr. Audi was pulling up to go around the cyclists instead of coasting behind them. Not sure of the laws wherever that was filmed, but he didn't seem to do anything particularly dickish. Can anybody with more insight explain why the punching bag got so agitated? Cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, etc., are supposed to stop at the first line. The second line in the box is for cyclists. Dude in the Audi got pissed because he felt he was being blocked, and moved around him to the second line, guy on the bike couldn't let it go and decided to start yelling at the guy in the car. The driver was breaking traffic law. |

Im confused...the cyclists were staying in their designated lanes, and following the traffic laws. I have seen some cyclist douches, but I can't find out what they were doing in the wrong? Or is it just the standard GD response of "they're cyclists, so they deserve guilt by association and whatever bad could possible happen to them makes me feel better about myself." Cyclist didn't do anything wrong other then he got all butt hurt and decided to lock horns with an asshole then led with mouth instead of his fists. You never know, guy in Audi may have just been served divorce papers and the cyclist was now the focus of his rage. Some life lessons are more painful then others. |

I see the cyclist as the aggressor & deserved what he got. I agree that he escalated the situation. This is like when you pull up to a stop sign and someone else does just seconds after you do, but they roll through it. That driver was wrong, but is it really worth it to you to chase after them, honking your horn and screaming out the window? Just because someone else was WRONG, does not mean that you are free to yell, scream, pound or generally be a twit. |

Self righteous prick Which one? I'm not understanding the conflict. Bike rider went around the car and blocked him. Driver went around him and biker got pissed off and decided to shoot his mouth off. Hilarity ensued and biker was smacked down. The Audi was already blocked from entering the box by traffic laws. The driver then broke the law by pulling into the box. I dislike most bicyclists because they seem to have a casual disregard for traffic laws. But in this instance the driver of the Audi chose to violate the law not out of casual disregard, but pique that someone was in front of him. It's like crossing over the line at a crosswalk: it's one thing to do it because you aren't paying attention; it's an entirely different matter to stop behind the line, see someone walking across with headphones on, and THEN pull forward and block the walkway because those people with their damned iPods never watch where they are walking. |

The militant bicyclists got all pissy that they were getting hurt and ran over in a town full of hills and sharp corners (as they play the "I'm a car, but not when I'm a pedestrian" game). So for millions of tax payer dollars, they put in "Bike boxes" so that the cars can see the cyclists at stop lights. They can see them well, because they allow the slower mode of transportation to sit at the light in front of the faster. In a town full of shitty traffic. PROGRESS!!! |

I was really hoping for a much better beat down. It's funny that you don't really see too much yelling at people in cars here, or many physical altercations from road incidents. People are soooo much more polite when everyones grandma has a piece in the console, one in the purse and another in a holster in the door pocket.

Come to stop sign, we all turn left onto a wide road, plenty of shoulder - and the bicyclists stayed right in the middle. 
So I passed them when it was clear, gently getting past them and leaving plenty of room when I pulled back in.

Here they are often a problem on the Alpine Loop up American Fork Canyon. The mountain road is barely wide enough for car traffic, and there is a risk around every turn of a cyclist causing a wreck. I admire and appreciate their desire to bike it, but the roads aren't designed to accommodate both bikes and cars. |
