If you're going to go public you've got to accept you're making yourself a target for all manner of, um, planks.

I love how the length of time he's lived in Arbury is meant to mean something. Oooo, 6 years. He must be out of nappies and into long trousers and everything.
 
Aye it is. I've had my fair share of those. Because of the number of threats I was receiving at the time, I took it to the police. They were good (though not a lot they could do apparently) but they make one interesting comment:

Police: Just rememir mate, yer no Martin Luther King!

Having been on the receiving end of a lot of this, I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone is a big man when hidden by internet annonymity.

Just point him in my direction and I will sort him out.:biggrin:

Have to agree with Magnatom. Everyone thinks they're a big man when they're behind the internet tubes. A bit like being behind a wheel, I guess.

Flag it up to YouTube, and if you feel threatened by it, flag it up to the police too. I've been on the receiving end of similar abuse (though not related to cycling) and the one thing I learned was dew drops. An individual drop might seem insignificant, but eventually it matters.

EDIT: Whoops... I think my comment attached itself to the main thread instead of his.

hmmm helmet cams..... what are they for? we all have near misses. its not great since blobs of flesh and bone v metal boxes is not always a fair fight, and as much as i would rather we didnt (as cyclists) have to put up with this shoot. its not an spectaculary interesting post, its fairly common place. for me the fight back is that i always thank when a driver has let me do something that is usually my god darn right like turning right, changing lanes, not being killed on a roundabout.

This is something we've often discussed here. We can go into it again, if you like... But maybe in a seperate thread?
