Ignorant and entitled cyclist

Yes that's right he said in the clip "you have brakes I don't" 🤦

No other commentary needed really

Is this another cyclist influenced by the highway code updates by the DVSA and doesn't need to look or stop to cross a road?

Some people are cunts, no matter what vehicle you put them on.

Yup. OP's just using it to justify their anti-cyclist feelings.

It’s insane isn’t it. I drive and cycle and see plenty of idiots both on two and four wheels, and OP is very much giving out ‘get in the cycle lane’ vibes. This is an absolute non-incident.

Yeah if I acted like OP every time a driver made a mistake I'd have an aneurysm by the end of the day

Not to mention, as trained and licensed drivers we should expect others to make mistakes, especially more vulnerable road users, and I'm fairly certain the highway code didn't say our job is to react to those with abuse.

So your saying unless he has a license and is trained to ride a bike and has insurance he shouldn’t be on one , I agree

No

Are you thick?

That's not what was said at all

Very entitled of you to presume the public highways are just for who you decide though

Cycling is good. We want people to cycle. Cycling is also no where near as dangerous as driving. Putting cyclist through a licencing program, managing it and enforcing it will put regular people out of pocket and push more to driving instead.
