Video: London cyclist tells fellow rider: "If you're scared you shouldn't be on the f*cking road"

There seems to be a lot of hate on here for beards (and hipsters).

As much as that bloke may be an arsehole, hate on him for his behaviour/attitude, not his fashion choices. I'd much rather people like that are riding bikes than driving cars anyway. I say we should welcome all the idiots to ride bikes as much as possible. Keep them out of death-boxes.

Someone was rude and has a beard and now everyone's shouting about wanting him to get hit by a truck? People who could stand to chill out include the beard guy, the guy who uploaded it to YouTube and every one on this comments section writing very believable and certainly not fictional accounts of the time they had to beat up a "hipster" who shouted at them.

Hopefully the bearded prick reads these comments... total arsehole.

Beard or not, that guy is a colossal dickhead.

I wouldn't go up the inside either.  And I certainly wouldn't be telling other people to do so.  But is the initial problem that CBL is stopping in, and blocking the gap, that crazy people want to squeeze into?

Is the bearded fool dead yet?

Dinosaur Jr boom! Nail on the head. Hopefully his bearded unoriginal arse will end up under a truck and his ghost bike, without beard, edgy tattoos or obnoxious attitude, can serve as a warning to other cyclists.

I'm a little bit baffled that someone who feels the need to wrap his bonce in polystyrene and wear a dayglo backpack has the gall to call someone else scared for not taking stupid risks.

Every day, twice a day (in London) I shake my head in disbelief at the fruity manoeuvres pulled by others on two wheels. I slow down, they fly past. I wait, they fly past. I'm going to see something horrible one day, I'm sure.

Respect to the helmet cam guy for keeping his cool in that situation. As for the other guy, he clearly doesn't know as much about roadcraft as he'd like to think. What an utter bell end. I hope he sees that clip of himself and feels the shame...

story of my life lol.
every morning s the same. random cyclist passes on red, being turning truck, etc.
i catch up with them within seconds and im trying not to - they re just slow.
then im facing the choice of passing them which is always dangerous with traffic or stay back which is also dangerous as cars rarely see the 2nd bike, plus is too slow for traffic.

the dance repeats 3, 4 times per commute. every single day.

I've just realised that Gobby McGobshite didn't jump the red light.

Scared wanker was he?

That's just the sort iof interaction you don't get when driving.

Love cycling.

Love cyclists (even beardy wankers).

Can't stand hipsters with road rage. I've had two altercations in my whole life on a bike, and both times it's been motherf***ing hipsters:

1. Beardo + androgynous girlfriend posing on pastel fixies screamed absolute blue murder and every swearword they knew for me 'overtaking too close'. It was so bizarre that I deliberately slowed down and cut them up, twice, looking at their faces just to see if they could possibly overreact any more (it was on a dedicated cycle path, completely empty, ie. safe..).
2. Ray-Banned retro racer with skinny jeans and a buzzcut yelled continually at me at some lights and told me to fuck off and read the highway code etc all the way down a road for having LED lights on at dusk (what?). I ignored it but eventually got so aggravated I headed him off, got off the bike and told him his glasses, beard, hair, and shitty bike already mark him out as a colossal fucking twat even before he opened his mouth, and I'd just done a hundred K, and would he like to come and do another hundred with me, right now, because I feel like f**king beating you. He buggered off.

Basically the only thing I say to other road users is "sorry", "thanks", "it's ok", "welcome". It's not that hard to be a little bit patient and give the benefit of the doubt, rather than living one's life as a canker on the arse of humanity.

What an absolute wanker! Proof that twats also ride bikes 

Note not everyone with a beard is a cunt though 

Won't be long before beardo gets doxxed and starts crying about harassment. 

Kudos to the cyclist filming...the other guy is clearly a self absorbed twat.

If camera cyclist is reading, that's my old commuting route before I tried quietway 1 ... Try the quietway, it's surprisingly quick with little traffic... The wannabe pro's don't use it so it's usually twat free

I don't understand why so many cyclists have to get so shouty and cross with other cyclists.  I was hollered at for "dangerously"/ "suicidally"/ "giving us all a bad name" cycling up the left hand side of a line of stationary traffic.  

I was in a cycle lane.

Some of you seem to harbouring a lot of prejudice against bearded velosapiens. As a person who recently acquired facial hair I can assure you it does not effect my opinions, nor do the opinions of this individual represent all bearded gentlemen.  

I've made calls when the gap might have being a bit narrower than some would choose to go through, even with bigger vehicles. Would I give another rider crap for not taking a line I would/have done before, no, because I don't know them, what their level is, how experienced/nuanced they are and most of all it's simply not my fucking business to interfere when someone isn't harming anyone else.

Some people say they have an instinct for when things are about to go pete tong, i say it's usually down to lots of experience and being able to judge when the % simply isn't in your favour at any given moment.

And as others have said this is MGIF, it doesn't benefit you to take make the pass at that juncture, you would know that already if this is a regular route before you even got to the back of the wagon so just ease off well before as you know the wagon is slow to accelerate.

clearly the bearded fucktard doesn't understand risk as he's wearing a H@@@@t.

As i always say, those that ride like a cunt usually drive their cars like a cunt too, so don't be a cunt and maybe you'll live longer/not put others lives at risk and not fuck off so many people

The state of his mudguard, who'd take riding advice from that?

I need a "I had a beard before 2016" sticker to go with my "I rode a bike before 2012" sticker.

Often when I complain about all-too-frequent bad cyclists in London (who cut me up, try to race me, don't look where they are going, bump into my tyres, cut off entire corners, cycle using their phones, cycle the wrong way up one way streets, jump lights, speed in pedastian zones and generally intimidate other cyclists as per above) many times people borderline defend those actions by saying "car drivers are worse". Well, maybe, but there's way too many wankers like this and it really takes the fun out of commuting. What's more it can put off those who are less confident and experienced and who don't enjoy feeling they are in Mad Max.

Also: attitudes coming with beards? Did Santa once say you were a bad boy and that's haunted you ever since? 

Also also: that route is horrible at rush hour and has the worst pot holes in London. If you happen to live in that area, I advise taking the various cycle lanes and quiet roads that run south and parallel-ish to Jamaica... they are actually faster too.

This is why it is easy to see that no matter what you do some people on bikes are just going to get killed.

Personally I have and always will hang back, I've no wish to be the one reported about because I've put myself in a bad position.
