Me too, there is no need to crash deliberately into it if it blocks your way... Look back, check if you can filter the traffic on the right and than once you get over the cab you just ask the driver why he stopped in a such wrong place.

@branwen, this happened a while back. I was waiting behind a row of black cabs when I felt him bump into my back wheel. I turned around and the cab driver was staring straight at me. 'What are you doing?' he asked. I was lost for words.
However, I still think the person who happened to be riding a bicycle in the above video was probably a twat.

Asking if someone happens to know someone riding a single-speed bike on a single-speed-bike forum is hardly crazy. An outside bet, for sure.
An advisory cycle lane is just that, the driver may not be the world's greatest but you can imagine the cyclist being called out on the 'bad cyclists' thread for desperately trying to get to the front when there wasn't space.
Taking your bag off the bike and calmly walking away doesn't look like how you would behave if you were terrified. More like if the first word out of your mouth had been 'sorry' and you didn't fancy facing up to the consequences of your own shit cycling. -

So you borrowed it forcefully, whilst the owner protested? But Just for a short while? I see.
If you were wearing a hoody, this would have been classed as a mugging.

We'll have no reason here. this is a local forum for local people

So you lied to the old bill? You didn't "find" that bike.
Also, you seem to have found the cyclist guilty in your Youtube comments. There's no chain of evidence, you have no definite proof, the cyclist is my brother, your remarks constitute libel, give me the bike back and £50k and we'll put this sorry episode behind us.

There is a simple rule. You have an accident (no matter of fault) you DON'T run! He was guilty this is why he left the scene.

So if you hit my bike I can take your taxi?

That's an assumption, and rather a self serving one as it fits your version of the facts - surely even you can admit that?

I wouldn't play hard and fast on that rule- Jean Charles de Menezes ring any bells?

To me it looks like @TaxiWarrior deliberately parks well to the right of the road, in the cycle lane right where there is a traffic island to knowingly cut off any cyclists wanting to filter and all the while with a dash cam (because how many people have those?) to capture the carnage.

I think that's over-selling it, he's just a standard, entitled, thoughtlessly selfish motorist.

He was on foot. I don't think he had a bell on his bike anyway.

Besides, I bet @TaxiWarrior wasn't even wearing a high visibility jacket, so it's pretty much his fault for getting hit by another vehicle.

I can't see the collision. But I can see someone being forcefully relieved of a bicycle.

That's why cabs are black to trick people into hitting them so the drivers can steal the bikes.
