The "article" posted by I-Like-To-Bike is one of those silly news to entertainment websites where maybe there is a tiny lick of truth mixed in with gifs, memes and social media crap. They are quite annoying when trying to find the truth of what happened but a common theme in our society either those or short video sites or just random junk of social media. The news is hard to extract from the silly stuff that people feel the need to add on.

I think a lot of road users can easily get aggressive and because cars have generally been less friendly cyclists can harbor some feelings that don't always turn out well which is certainly at least part of the case here. I think it would behoove everyone to tone done the aggression unless it is truly warranted where someone actually tries to hurt you. We could do with a little deep breath and a quick moment to think.

I think feeling the need to call the police all the time over everything is silly as they rarely will help cyclists and in many cases that I have been involved with they actually impede things or make them so much worse that you regret them being involved at all.
