Extreme violence could be fun though....

Oh, don't worry, I can't imagine you ever provoking me to such a thing. Well, unless you ask me to ride through Crayke again....

On an Audax last year (Severn Across) I was about 100m behind another rider coming up into Malmesbury. Some yoof at the side of the road waited for him to get level and did the old lurch-towards-and-go-RAAAAAAARGH gag. Very amusing.

They were still giggling to themselves when I came up behind them and did the same back to them. I honestly thought he'd soiled himself given his reaction and left them with his friends taking the piss out of him.

Awesome. Just awesome.

Was cycling from Kings X to Croydon, no idea where, but there was a group of youths, one of whom stood in the road in front of me with arms outstretched. Well, was I going to stop? Not flipping likely.. Clearly the best plan was to get the speed up and aim straight down the middle which I did. I was totally prepared to go all the way if he'd tried to stop me. As with greenbank's yoof, he didn't like it up 'im and jumped clear also to the amusement of his dim mates.

Extreme fantasy violence is enough. Since you are not an uncaring oik with a total disregard for others, the real thing would probably haunt you.

Although a six-letter expletive rhyming with "anchor!" probably wouldn't come amiss...

I was once riding with some other blokes when a similar thing happened and one of the cyclists let out this really loud exaggerated ironic laugh. Difficult to describe but it was just perfect at the time.

I think I muttered a six letter expletive that rhymed with 'osser'...

would have easily killed him stone dead.

you say that like it's a bad thing .....

the only person it would have been a bad thing for, is Arch, as she'd have been in prison.

Back in the late 70's a the elder brother of a mate of mine did this on a motorbike.

Woke up 2 days later in hospital with a leg broken in several places and a Policeman wanting to know why he had hit a "pedestrian".

The Chav he hit never put in a complaint and only sufferd road rash and brusing

He would be the wrong side of 50 now, and as far as I know never rode a bike again

Yes it's not a decision to be taken lightly. In my case I had fast traffic on the right and his mates on the pavement in a not very salubrious part of London. Fortunately it worked out ok on that occasion.
