Which Arriva employee were you referring to as that prescription could be suitable for all three (post-shift of course, just in case they thought drink-driving and fornicating on a bus were acceptable behaviours too).

This thread has got me looking at other clips of cyclists confrontations. There are hundreds of them, there seems to be a class of cyclist whose sole wish is to get footage for YouTube, some even seem to see incidents coming but do nothing to avoid them even if it means contact. I was out for hours yesterday in the country and if I had a problem it was cars not wanting to pass me because they figured the road wasnt wide enough. That resulted in me having to speed up hills, something I never do! What did I do with these considerate motorists, well I didn't have a camera to post how nice they were on YouTube so I gave them a friendly wave to say thanks. Do we have a breed of cyclists, guessing more so in towns, that seek confrontation, it appears so.

Pah! You're not trying hard enough, not looking hard enough and are probably being cowed into the gutter by psychotic and violent motorists...
I too have failed to find the sort of discord that many find with great frequency. You and I are both terrible failures and probably do not love cycling enough.
Like you, I find almost all other road users considerate, skilled and courteous. We are failures for thinking so!
It may be because my forty-plus years of cycling, thirty-plus years of driving and the fact that I rode on the public highway at a very young age have somehow led me to see no threat, just as a tamed animal doesn't fear humans. We must change!
You and I must train ourselves to be stronger, to be constantly on the lookout for the malefactor and (most important of all) selflessly capture it on film and put it online for the benefit of all.
We must march today!! We must stand up against beastly, horrid cars!!!!!! We must become HEROES!!!! (I now imagine stirring music and a slightly onanistic fantasy in which beautiful women throw themselves at me for saving cycling).
What is it with all the people on the thread (and so many like it) like PK99 and Boris saying the same things over and over again, when OP hasn't even posted in ages? Some of you have posted pretty much the same thing on every single page. Was the first time not enough.
Plenty of utterly unconstructive abuse that's being 'liked' by the same old group of people who just LOVE slagging off anyone who dares ride a bike with a camera on, and who cares to stand up for themselves, let alone other cyclists, on this forum.
You all need to take a long hard look at yourselves. Bunch of middle aged men behaving like teenage internet bullies.

I've only seen one person use the word nobber, and that was just lukesdad making a joke.

Dont think its bullying but I do think by their posts they miss the whole point which is other road users attitudes towards cyclist.
Instead they choose to focus on the OPs attitude which I dont think is anyway dangerous to other road users unlike the two bus drivers .

If Mathew feels bullied (as opposed to others feeling bullied for him by proxy) I will gladly apologize for my use of the term 'nobber'.

Every forum - like every village - needs an idiot.
I don't think Matthew is one, but I admire him for taking on the role.
Let's call it method acting.
