Mugshot
Cracking a solo.
Mugshot, I'm not trying to be obtuse deliberately, it's a turn of phrase which I didn't think was particularly unclear. It refers simply to cyclists asserting their right to be seen as equals on the road, nothing more, nothing less.
I'm certainly not trying to deliberately misunderstand you, nor try to draw you into an argument for that matter. Maybe I'm being particularly stupid, but I honestly don't understand what you're saying about the heat being turned up and it leading to somewhere. My best guess from your post above is that the cyclists are turning up the heat on motorists by filming them.
