It's not the same behaviour at all though, a bike hitting you is likely going to do a whole lot less damage.

I’d say it’s the same selfish behaviour of putting one’s own capricious wants over other people’s safety. It’s an urban park, not a race track, but the ‘chain gangs’ close-passing pedestrians and other cyclists at 40km/h with no warning or a rude one seem to forget how unpleasant and dangerous or dangerous-feeling it is when cars do that to them on public roads.

The irony is that they ride in Richmond because they don’t feel safe riding on public streets due to drivers behaving towards them the way they behave towards pedestrians in the park.
Some ride like civilised members of society getting their sporting fill, but most act like full-on wankers.
