Unpleasantness

[magnatom]

BTW Magnatom you should have egged him on actually.. if you was in that position,it would have been great to watch him get floored with a judo move,in self defence of course,that would have been so satisfying to watch,just to prove cyclists are no pushovers.

He he. A chap at my judo club (a blue belt) brought in some CCTV footage from the shop he works in (on his phone). In the footage, it shows him grappling with an abusive customer to try and calm him down. The chap keeps on getting more aggressive, so he decides to take some action and promptly throws him flat on the hard tiled floor (an o-goshi for those in the know). Nice clean throw! The aggressive chap is strangely subdued after this . he really needs to send this clip into some clip type TV show. He could make a bob or two.

Best form of defense is to avoid the situation of possible, however, if I didn't have any options I know a move or three .

An O gohsi is a hip throw I think,I remember doing similar things in ju-jitsu years ago,apart from learning how to throw its also a skill in learning how to fall as well ,when you're the one being thrown. It would be nice to take it up again after all these years not doing it.I tend not to get agrro because of my build,think of chris hoy on his bike,although I wish I had his thighs and speed

I have just watched the clip for a second time,silly me was not paying attention to the clock,I thought he left hooked him after not before, so he actually turned round to hunt the cyclist down,what a t***t,its really annoyed me this one, its a pity that van was in way he would have a had a job catching up with ben on that pathetic lawnmower. I think you should report him anyway ,ben ,even if it gets nowhere. at least he might be put on some file.

What did you do to annoy him? I'm going to guess that you slowed up for that van blocking the lane (correctly imo) and scooter boy wasn't paying attention and nearly ran into you and shat himself!

Edit: Ah, didn't realise the left hook was before the verbals... guess you shouting whatever you did upset him. He must be a sensitive soul!

I didn't know bikes were allowed in the Rotherhithe tunnel! I wish I had, I'd have given it a go!!

That's horrendous


I must admit I would've instantly blown a gasket and rammed his head up his own a*se but fair play on you for keeping calm.

 

[OvertheHill]

So whilst it is illegal to drive whilst using a mobile phone, it's not illegal to ride a scooter with a bloody big map/set of directions in front of your eyeline?

 

[downfader]

I'll reitterate what I said on youtube. Speak to the police. Would anyone here be happy with this guy driving their daughter home from a night out when he passes to full cabby?

The guy is an idiot and needs a serious speaking to.

Some good moves in there and some I recognise from judo. You should have seen me in my prime, I was quite something to watch. I think it was a Wednesday!

What did you say to him ben?

Still awful road behaviour though and an awful cut-up.
