How did the cyclist get there so quickly.

I thought the cyclist had tried to accelerate past the lorry when the lorry was pulling away from the first set of lights. Had failed (cos the lorry was accelerating too) and probably had a bit of a go at the lorry driver. So not much the lorry driver did wrong if that's the case.

The "fight" was most amusing though. I can understand a cyclist being unable to fight properly cos of the pipecleaner arms, but I thought lorry drivers were proper hard men?

Nope; not this one! But then, I'm only part time so I guess that equates to only partially hard. I won't cycle in the rain for instance, but I still reckon I could do a better job of a street fight than those two plonkers. I did after all previously do the same job as @Drago , and he's well 'ard :okay:.

'ard......hmmmm, let me see...."lard"?

I wouldn't call him that if I were you, I've heard he's something of a tough guy

To be fair on the truck driver, I thought he showed restraint in a violent situation.
Watching it again, yes, he doesn't even try to punch the nobber cyclist - he just holds him at arms length while the idiot wastes his time trying to land punches. The driver then decides to end the stand off by kicking the cyclists legs away and putting him on the deck.

Reiver, I cannot figure where the cyclist come from, maybe he was clinging onto the trucks bumper for the last 10 miles.

I think he was approaching the lights as they turned green so didn't need to stop but as the truck accelerated, the cyclist found himself in a bit of no man's land. The obvious thing to do would be to drop back signal left and cut between truck and whatever is following it to a safe position. But not our cyclist, he blames the truck driver for, from what I can see, driving a truck in a fairly good way.
