NY Messenger Giving Ped a Good U-locking

d - lock to the head is a bit ott, could have killed him with a decent strike. but that chinesey dude started it and u shouldnt start something u aint prepared to finish. could of been much worse for him imo.

It was pretty stupid, and very immature, but I slapped him with the intention of knocking his phone out of his hand and/or annoying him a lot, not to cause him injury, there's quite a difference, but you're right....its definitely not worth going to jail over a ped.

Yeah i know you didnt mean any harm to him, but its not worth it - i have done some spur of the moment shit in the past too - but have seen too many mates get into shit for stuff that was spun against them that was seemingly harmless.

I do think the Dlock was unnecessarily called for, but the pedestrian was pestering him, I would've felt unsafe myself.
No idea how I'd be personally, I have not yet been in a situation like that, but I dont have a very good control over my temper. Hmm. Lessons from Crispin Glover me thinks.

I dont know so much now, I've looked at it a few more times and he only really flips when the dude grabs him and the biker already had the lock in his hand.

I dont know how I would react if some dude was in my face like that??

he's a young fit guy
the other guy is an older asian guy wearing shoes with shorts.

it doesnt take carol vorderman to work out that the asian dude couldn't harm him if he tried. there's no need for the d-lock, he could have swatted him away.

i fuckin' hate seeing things like that. it fills me with hate for a fellow cyclist. i swear down if i saw that shit, all 5ft 9, 10 stone of me would be clothes lining that prick on the street. lemme see him bust that d lock on somone who's ready to get gritty with him.

You musnt judge someone based on their clothes/age, the asian dude could have a vindictive streak in him, and perhaps the cyclist was concerned for his own safety. Though I still think the Dlock was uncalled for still.

I'm with billy bob, that level of violence is out of order, if the cyclist felt under threat from that little old chap then he has issues.

I have caught a few peds but as a warning (i left no mark) and had to swerve to really avoid hurting the sods, i like to think we both learnt something from those encounters.
these encounters are a fact of life, smile and ride on leaves you healthier in the old mind box than if you escalate it.

Sure you can tell your mates and be an internet tough guy but there be times when you realised you hurt someones brother/father/husband because you couldn't control yourself. thats got to cut you deep!

thats all i have from that vid.. his clothes, age, demeanour suggest he couldnt swing a punch if he tried. his vindictive streak wouldnt be the same as say russell crowe in romper stomper.

my point is.. if it was you then i can understand the need for the dlock to be swung, but that dude just looked like he wanted to clap him out..

So when you are confronted with one of these flash points do you check the advancing persons Facebook page, medical history and education??

Some time ago I decided to zen the fuck up. The number of idiots out there didn't change, but I felt a lot better about myself

+1 to me

true dat.
i realised that i would get home angry after a ride.. and the whole point of riding for me was to be chilled out.

so now i say fuck it, blaze a head and start loving shit.

Chuck Norris looks a cunt, dresses like a cunt but would rip your face off in 4secs

Exactly....! I rest me case..

chuck norris dresses a cunt, but his neck is as big as my torso.

not all chinese know kung fu.

True say dude, true say, some of the pigs out there can be proper wankers.

you sound about as big as if not smaller than the cyclist in the video. haha.

If all 6 ft 2 16 stone of me clothes-lined someone, they'd know about it :p

likewise, add 3 inches to the height :)

You're thinner though!

You're thinner though!

yup

yup

You're a giant though.. I feel like a midget next to you.

Having met James, he's like a wide load incoming! (Sorry!)

ha, i wouldn't know :)

Haha you shoulda heard the noise when I hit that dickheads white van, he'll be needing a new wing and mirror no doubt :p

probably smaller, lol.
but still, i'm not one to stand idly watching if a wrong is being commited.

let it be known that billy bob will stand up to these dlock wielding hipster wannabes.

Yeah man I feel ya, all these Hipster wannabe's around, they just ain't keepin it real anymore, not like us professional hipsters, we get paid to be on TV and everything......even it is only German TV, put together by a producer with about as much production skill as Oscar the Grouch from sesame street, with commentary from a journalist who makes Jodie Marsh appear intelligent......now there's a scary thought.
