Canadian diplomat’s chef fends off road rage attack with £1,200 bike.

19 April 2012

A personal chef to one of Canada’s highest ranking diplomats was attacked by a motorist as he cycled home from work.

Gavin Sayer said he was forced to use his £1,200 road bike as a shield to stop the driver punching him in the head.

Mr Sayer said the man, thought to be in his early twenties, responded by getting out of the car and swinging punches at the chef.

“I was going along in the correct lane when the guy came behind me and undertook me, forcing me to swerve to avoid him hitting me.

“I cycled up alongside him at the lights. He had his window down so I said, ‘Did you not see me back there?’ I didn’t swear — I know if you swear people get very aggressive on the road.

“He shouted at me, ‘Who do you think you are?’ and got out of the car and came towards me, trying to punch me in the head.”

Mr Sayer blocked the driver with his bicycle, which his attacker then threw to the ground.

“I just wanted to stop him. I didn’t want to get in a fight. He almost knocked me over. He grabbed me and was pushing me towards the traffic. That’s when I thought, ‘I‘ve had enough.’ I wrapped my leg around him and dropped him to restrain the guy.”
