It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

[MikeHunt]

Seems like Mikey is starting to be recognised in the street.

[Beany]

I suspect that's gonna end up as "Fuckin' whoops" moment for him.

Seem like a lovely friendly bunch of fine young gentlemen.

Is that a knife that Mikey is carrying and pulls out of his pocket?

[MikeHunt]

Mikey apparently states it was just a sharpie pen.

Ngl if a couple of kids wearing ballys on high powered electric bikes pulled up to me and started shouting my name in my face I'd lowkey brick it.

However, if that's a knife he's carrying and pulled out then that is totally inexcusable.

Crazy guy acts crazy, this is not a surprise.

Dave!

From LBC

A separate video, posted by Mr van Erp, appears to show events leading up to the confrontation, with the cycling vigilante calling the police on the 'thieves' after insisting "I will finish you" as he brandishes the sharpie.

I mean, even threatening behaviour with a fake knife can still be a criminal offence...after all, how are you going to 'finish' someone with a felt tip, unless you're making out you're seriously armed, with intent to cause immediate harm?

That said I can't see the kids pressing charges, but CPS might be interested if they think it'll dial down the behaviour of GoPro warriors.

[Rich B]

Yeah, the “kids” on totally illegal electric motorbikes are hardly going to be pursuing that one!

wtf is he carrying on his bike in that video though?!

So he's now recognised by Londonistans little thugs. Not going to end well for him is it.

[Beany]

Well, that's not very exciting, is it.

But yes, making yourself famous by being an attention courting prick, and - get this - other pricks will start paying attention to you.

What an angry little man he is.

I wonder what that was all about? The music's a bit one sided...

[nuttinnew]

[mik]

Jeez

(Bloody cyclists etc)

[Jobbo]

Blimey. The van that passed them just before the Swift must have had an interesting time too.

[Gavster]

Just watched that a few times, the front bumper of the Swift must have almost skimmed his leg
