Here's the original video on CyclingMikey's YouTube channel!
I love his calm and simple approach to calling out dangerous behaviour from motorists.

Thank you for posting the original. If you hadnt I would have had a hunt and done it myself.
As a general request can ppl post original videos without shitty tick tok music bollocks?
Thank you for finding/posting a version without shitty music that makes it harder to hear what people are saying.
Man, I wouldn't have been able to stay that calm. That comes from years of practice in dealing with these knobs. I would have been sorely tempted to grab that door and yank it forwards, which would only make matters worse.

Dude is being really chill when the driver basically committed attempted murder.
Fuck these entitled twats.
Power to this dude and the fellow cyclist for standing up to this bullshit💪🍀

“How am I meant to hit you?”
-A person who has just hit someone...twice.
Pretty sure in my country the police would have just tased the cyclist 😢
Then the news would report you as a protester, because running over protesters is now socially acceptable in this land of freedom.
Hard to say what the police would've done in the US of A
They wouldn't have even shown up.
They would have put the cyclist in jail
After a bit of a beating, the violence of which is scaled by skin color, of course.
not hard
I applaud the dude for doing this, really, but I honestly wouldn't be ready to throw my life away that easily. Imagine the situation if this was in the US instead of the UK and someone was carrying.
This is one of the reasons Europeans claim to have freedoms USAmericans don't.
But yeah, context matters.
I don't have to imagine it; I've lived it. Twice. I wasn't shot either time.

Police show up
"Sir, this is a bike lane."
Good to see he was not left alone.
This was satisfying to watch
This is such a hero villain situation. Bravo to those cyclists who stood their ground.
Oh that windshield would be toast. I carry a buck knife with a window punch on the end.
Ah yes, escalation is always better
What a pussy you are. What's a pasty little bitch going to do after they get out of their car? Whine like you and then cry some more?
Oof did i hit a nerve? Go hit a child with your scary buck knife little man 😂

Why is it always the kind of person you think it's gonna be? I mean, always. One can match the level of inconsiderable idiocy from car models alone.
Imagine knowing you're wrong and persist and insist this much in continuing to do the wrong thing in front of everyone, so that everyone can behold the thing that everyone knows that is wrong for you to be doing, and you still continue to do the wrong thing that you know that everyone knows that you know that is wrong to do. No? Hurts your brain, doesn't it?
Now... Why is his license plate blurred in the video? Does this level of inconsiderate behaviour deserve that level of consideration in return?
Why is his license plate blurred in the video?
Especially when he read it out loud lol

My observation is that the more expensive the car, the more entitled the driver.
It's Science: the fancier the car, the shittier the driver.

See? It's not bigotry - it's observation.
Audi were running billboards a few years ago with the slogan 'Born To Lead' - I thought to myself 'is that why they never let you merge in front of them?'
I don't like making generalisations...
But...
I agree.
There is absolutely an observable correlation there. And mentioning exceptions will only prove the rule.
