Where do you see the pedestrian trying to kick him?
All I see is somebody badgering a guy on a bike, and following him because the guy is trying to leave before he can finish saying what he wants to.
Regardless of who started the argument, or whether whatever the pedestrian was saying was right or correct or justified, the guy had no reason to start swinging his U-lock, especially not when the person he was swinging it at is a frumpy middle-aged man who poses no threat to anybody.
