It seems no one told the muppet cyclist that trying to block a 10 ton
bus when there's a nutter at the wheel is a seriously bad idea.

I'm awaiting Steve Firth's outraged response. That rolling and
tumbling cyclist could have hit a pedestrian on the pavement.

The driver was a **** for doing that but the cyclist certainly seemed to be
trying to impede the progress of the bus. Not a good idea.

The bus driver should be banned for life from driving any kind of
vehicle. The cyclist should be banned for like from using the public
roads as he certainly has no idea or concept of might is right. The
bus being equivalent to a 50 000 ton ship versus a Laser II.

Cyclists fault. He was using a child's toy on a road.

It looks to me like the bus driver just wanted to make a close overtake
but slipped or timed it wrong and ended up ramming into him.

Otherwise, why did he move over or indicate? He could have just rammed
him from behind if that was what he wanted to do.

Is Mr Firth still at large?
I was told he was in jail for some tax fiddle.

You should be banned from life. Who told you that might is right?

Funny how nobody headed the posting about the cyclist killing the 81
year old man crossing the road:- "Idiot cyclist kills idiot
pedestrian."

Makes it easier for you to think that, does it?
Read the comments under that video which support the busdriver. I
think that they should give you a clue to the attitude of a large
number of motorists.
