I saw a cyclists talking to a car at a set of lights outside the health club on vauxhall bridge road. The car then pulled away and then vered into my lane, i gave him a shout and thought nothing of it. I then saw the car swerve into the other cyclists as he was over taking him. and the cyclsts hang next to the car and was shouting at him.
I shouted at the cyclists 'It's not worth it, move on' and i then told the passanger of the car 'Some cyclists are just idiots, just lave it' (i would like to note i wasn't judging the guy for being an idiot, just trying to diffuse a probably needless situation)
Anyway they both seamed to be getting on with there lives after that. Untill that is i see them further up the road, the car swerving erraticly at the cyclists, and him then giving the car a massive boot x2. At this point i was stuck at some traffic lights so could only witness what happened.
The driver and passanger got out of the vehicle and squared up to the cyclist, thats when i came in and tried to diffuse the situation for the second time.
In the end we waited for the boys in blue, who took statements from all of us and it seamed that some damage was caused to the bike, from what the cyclists told me, is just before he kicked the car, it broke heavily and he went into the back of it (marks on the car to suggest that), his wheel had no damage but the forks where bent which meant the wheel could no longer move.
In all in i don't know who's fault it was, but the whole thing could have easily been avoided!!
