Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

i'm surprised you didn't deck him after this.

seriously though what a nutter. he asked if you were alright then starts having a go? might see him on the local news i suspect as being a bit of a nut job.

I did wonder if he was genuinely ill because of the abrupt change in behaviour. I couldn't help finding it funny. Apart from the swearing, it was the behaviour of a toddler having a temper tantrum. I didn't want to thump him; I go down that route as a last resort and especially with him being so small. I had four or five stone on him as well as the better part of a foot in height. He would really have had to wind me up for that to happen, as I can imagine how me taking physical action would have looked to a third party. If he does this on a regular basis to people, it can only be a matter of time until someone does deck him.
