I agree with this statement. By interrupting the officer and cyclist, he lined himself up for obstruction of justice. Once the officer has that on him, his not showing ID is disobeying a lawful request from an officer. If, however, the officer's request was illegal on some grounds then he'd have the right to not show his ID.
Seriously people, learn how the system works so you can avoid being run over by it.

I've seen several people get arrested for failure to show ID.
The bottom line is if you act like an ass, like this guy did, you are going to get some negative attention. He should have minded his own business and not continually interrupted the officer/cyclist conversation.
