Disgusting excuse of a cyclist 🤷‍♂️

[Bonzothechippy]

Ok we have all seen cyclist jump the lights, but this guy in his late 50’s gave a real bad name to cyclists around my area in Surrey.
Sat as a passenger four cars back from this disgusting excuse of a cyclist. He jumped the lights and as he did a young lady waiting at the lights tapped her horn once, very quickly. The guy on the bike gave her the finger as he went through. The lights changed and he Rode dead centre to prevent the young lady from overtaking and started giving her the W-anchor sign. The next car he gave them the thumbs up and the next.
The guy was dressed in all the gear.
That guy was so lucky someone who would not put up with that, wasn’t driving behind him!!!

What, did you hope for the cyclist to get run over?
Disgusting excuse of a human being imo.

Nope, but I’d love to see a guy stop him and sort him out for giving the young lady a hard time. I bet she was worried sick.

Define ‘sort him out’.

Mod Note:
Still, I'm sorry but you are advocating violence here (hopefully only verbal), even possibly road rage.
We must be mindful of the Online Safety Act (Google for full explanation if you like)
As a forum mod I must point out this to the membership, least we want to end up Cycle Chat refugees in some other forum.
Thanks for reading.

It sounds as if she initiated the confrontation. What was she expecting to happen?

Times have changed, what ever happened to chivalry.

What was the horn for? It is supposed to be used as a warning of your presence. It is specifically NOT supposed to be used as a rebuke.

Whilst I don’t condone the actions of this cyclist, I also can’t see what the driver was hoping to achieve other than escalate the situation.

Lololol! Would you like my garden spade?
You're supposed to help folks that need help regardless of their gender, no?
I am a woman that can easily lift a big bag of compost, my older male neighbour cannot, so I will help him.
In our case the cyclist was a bit of a (garden lol) tool, but the lady was in the wrong too, because you're only supposed to beep your horn in emergencies.
She beeped him to say "you're being a tool".
Another random male being rough to the cyclist wouldn't have helped the situation at all imo.
What was the cyclist going to do to frighten the woman?
Follow her car home on his bike? He was already in front anyway.
The cyclist was a tool, yes, but deliveroo/e-scooter riders sometimes are tools too, we don't expect random male car drivers to get into righteous action for them.

I have no idea what you mean by that. Sounding the horn at someone is an act of aggression and one should expect reciprocation.

So what if this cyclist also is highly trained in some sort of martial arts, so chivalrous Sir Gallant-Driver ends up badly hurt in hospital after sticking his nose into something that's none of his business

Or he had an AK47 down his shorts.

A car horn can be used to signal danger so playing devils advocate the car driver may have hit the horn to warn of a dangerous situation arising. I did that seeing a car turn left through a red light with a pedestrian crossing arounf the corner.

You did very well to see all this from four cars back.
