What I find quite weird about the cyclists vs motorists saga is that most of them behave like they belong to two different tribes.
Personally I love both driving and cycling and when I drive I am always mindful of cyclists and the other way around. If there is something that I really cannot stand is when one adopts a behaviour whose sole purpose is to damage the other one, like for instance when a car forces a cyclist to either stop or hit the kerb, or (which is a real classic on weekend days in Cheshire) when two cyclists proceed side by side on a busy road trying to keep as much distance as possible from each other so that they can block the whole lane.
In this specific case, the Land Rover guy has clearly crossed the line of decency (and I am not referring to his leather jacket here), but the cyclist could have easily defused the situation instead of waving a red drape in front of a bull(y) on rampage.
