If this guy will **** a child, do you seriously think he needs a trigger to assault adults?
You are just too hell bent on blaming the cyclist.
I don't know, maybe I'm just not hell bent on being an absolute apologist for these cyclists - especially after you agree with my suggestions and admit that you've retreated/waited/let things pass to avoid trouble with motorists (with varied levels of success!). Although you are probably more experienced and aware than these cyclists in this case.
This particular driver *may* not have needed a specific or large trigger, but you're mixing things up here.
Are all child ******* bad and violent drivers? Nope. Plenty of cases to demonstrate otherwise.
Are all bad and violent drivers child *******? Nope. Some folks are just crappy drivers or just plain violent.
The link is more likely to be coincidental in this case, so a poor argument.
Will we ever know if these cyclists could have made a different choice and this situation would have passed? No.
But I'm pretty sure that there is a lot consensus above that they certainly did things that we agree didn't help - and that is not 'blaming the victim'.
