Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
I seemed to have jumped the gun a bit with my thread title.
He's an Aussie. That explains it! Well, the rage, not the pleather.
Carry on.

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
Indeed.
While he seems a complete prat there are a few things in this video that I miss about England.
He's obviously chosen his clothing; it's bizarre but it's not the plaid offered by Giant Tiger or Mark's Work Wearhouse. It's not the same as everyone for miles around. He's not wearing a hat and, perforce, it's not on backwards. He is aware that he's operating a motor vehicle and it's very likely he knows which brand of vehicle it is. It's not greige. He's abusive to someone who speaks the same language as he does, there's no awkward pause while he rephrases "****ing neck" and attempts to convey the idea with gestures; there's a fluidity of communication one does not experience with colleagues here, nevermind random strangers.

Although the guy overreacted, it does seem the cyclist expects too much. Traffic was flowing, 30 mph zone, not every journey has to be a road race. If I were on the bike, I'd give way to the car.

It becomes a lot more complicated when there are horses on the road. Who do you call a cad, the horse, rider or both?

Apparently, Mr. Jason Wells has a "very small penis".

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
i hate cyclists
why isn't he using the cycle lane provided? Probably sits in his house complaining that there are too many gas guzzling cars out there and everyone should be cycling, then doesn't use the damn lanes available, because why ride in a safe place when you can annoy and provoke other road users?
Why is he provoking car drivers? Yeah the guy got a little close to him...but why did spit and punch the car? (at least it looked like it from the video)
Why do other cyclists feel the need to gang up on this poor gent in the Landy? Almost as bad as the SJWs here on BE!

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
Allegedly he has apologised… probably after the boycott Brew Hashtag went viral on Twitter! (My keyboard has no hashtag?!)
