George St. (Edinburgh not London) video

[just jim]

I can't work out quite what happened in this one, but if we take the cyclist's word for it this lady tried to hit him/her. An odd one anyway!

Yes, it's not clear what happened from just the video alone.

Am I missing something?

Looks like a random POB video to me.

from the camera movement possibly the front wheel/handlebar got bashed as the cyclist moved out to take the primary. I'm guessing the motorist overtook and then stopped after the junction, looked at the damage then ran after the cyclist after seeing them riding away. (hurling abuse while approaching too it looks like, no wonder the cyclist sped off, note the clenched fists)

Though there is not much to support this. It could have been something worse, like the cyclist trying to pull in front of a car that was alongside or something equally stupid.

I couldn't see a 4X4 parked anyway though.

It's as if she magically appears from behind the bus!

Hold on, I see she's run up the hill, so must have parked down the hill a bit.

Maybe it was his ex trying to get her bike back?

I think it was the BMW driver...

I cycle through that roundabout every day, I've watched the clip several time and I'm none the wiser???

 

[just jim]

She definitely looked aggrieved!!

 

[HLaB]

Or she was saying "Excuse me, you've dropped your wallet"

 

[TwickenhamCyclist]

Well one things for sure – the cyclist [FONT=&quot]definitely[/FONT] wasn’t a high court judge – they’d normally pay good money for a bit of rough treatment from a blond in public….



....I’ll get me coat....

Slightly off topic.
Another dangerous overtake (allegedly).

Oh I think I've got it now. he must have been alongside the 4x4 at the start of the clip.

I wonder what she'd have done if he hadn't of ridden off?

They focus on and repeat the Hanover St approach (From Princes St) to the George St Rbt but I'm still unsure how the 4x4 gets to the exit to Queen St and for the woman to appear from there. Surely if it cut across in front of them the cyclist would of had to break on the rbt and if it went to the rear we'd have see it on the cam ????
