Anyone know this idiot motorcyclist?

That's deliberate assault. Shame the WPC listened to the tw*t motorcyclist.

 

[slowmotion]

Mmmm, say the cyclist had been black and the motorcyclist had a history of posting abuse toward black people? It indicates intent, not proof of anything I suppose.

Anyhoo, 12,000 views:

32,000 now. Yay finally it's going viral!

I would have been more sympathetic if he had been apologetic about it, but his subsequent actions and trying to hide all the videos after posting it himself just proves that he is a monumental cock.

Edit: + 5000 views in the time it took to write this post

The cyclist was in the centre of the road because he was turning right beyond the traffic lights to ride through the park... as you can see when he continues on his way.

Yep, turning into the pedestrianised area in front of the palace. Perhaps Mitchell wanted him to stay on the left and turn across the paths of oncoming vehicles.

Well his own explanation for uploading it was that he was 'hungry for views'.

Found it while skimming the top few pages of Reddit just now.

The Jubilee Greenway goes across the front of the palace, and that is open to both cyclists and walkers

I didn't know it had that status but I've often used it and there are no No Cycling signs that I've ever seen. Mind, you have to concentrate on behalf of loads of non-concentrating tourists milling about.

I see this has made it as far as The Independent.

It'll be in the mainstream media next

I always find it befuddling, when I know a little about a story and the background, how various media outlets are able to get so many details incorrect. In this case the Independent article has more than a couple of glaring errors some of which can be cleared up by actually watching the video.
