Video: Tenerife motorist rams cyclist – who turns out to be local police officer

Videos like this always make me smile.

Glad the driver missed!

'fck him he's a cyclist' - everyone on facebook probably 

Just replace the word Cyclist with offficer and the story takes on a whole different perspective because cyclists are seen as 2nd class. 

I had a G4S drivewr do this to me in an ambulance and when he forced me off the road he then took out his special constable warrant card issued by the Met police and began to verbally abuse and physically intimidate me. The complaint is still being handled (ignored) 6 months after the fact and the police won't even cover the damage to my Lightweight wheels. The driver lied to G4S when i claimed and he lied to save his job.

Sadly no-one gives a shit because i'm a middle aged woman that rides a bike that failed to end up dead in the gutter

The vid showed no clue as to why they are both drifting along in the middle of the road. So Facebook warriors can argue all they want. What is clear is someone using a car as a weapon. Go straight to Jail, do not pass Go.

Shoulda gone to Gran Canaria

Everyone was lovely and seemed really happy whilst we rode around the island on our recent trip there.

The majority give you a little toot of encouragement as they pass you on the climbs and encourage you on..............there was something a little macabre though.............the ambulance drivers were especially enthusiastic........lots of waving and smiling.

Maybe they were thinking to themselves "see you later"  

If we'd got any of the corners wrong on the descents I don't think we'd have been seeing anyone again TBH

Awesome place to cycle though.

Seems to be some sort of law that you have to ride an S-Works in Santa Cruz. Maybe that's what this argument was about.

I love how other drivers just squeeze past like this is totally normal and not worthy of hanging around for.

"Debate on Facebook", I am sorry, what is there to debate when someone uses their car as a weapon ?

Two guys who I ride with are old bill, they don't carry their warrant cards as apparently it can cause more problems for them. But I feking well would...

One of those truely stunning moments.  I think when the motorist attends the police station they may wish to be very careful when around any stairs.

I must go, baking takes priority, and I need a 15cm pan.
