He needs locking up for a while, quite funny how his mate pissed off and just left him.

Here's a tip: you see someone storming towards you like that *get off the bike*, you can least use it to hide behind.

Gives you a stable platform for getting the first punch in too :whistle:

and if they can trace the guy and say they've not enough evidence for assault - surely they've got enough for 'no seatbelt' as 5 seconds after the pass he's got his full upper body out of the window.

I agree with ado, getting off your bike in a situation like that is a very good idea. Also using any object or physical deterrent in a non-threatening way can also be useful, such as adjusting/making sure the your lock on the bike is secure if you have a frame mounted D-lock.

The one time someone decided to have a go in person they got out the car & started walking towards me I lent my bike up against a lamp post & took my jacket off. They arrived just as I was getting my arm warmers & jersey out of my panniers. When I turned round to face them they kinda stopped in their tracks... white compression wear is great for showing up/off muscle definition :laugh:.

Yeah, that and hold the bike up on its rear wheel, keeping it between you and assailant.
