right up until 0:50, all I was thinking was "...why's the ********* parked in the passing lane?" Bet that's what the guy on the bike was thinking too.
So it's really just a question of who's the BIGGEST *********. Pretty close to a tie, IMO

Hahaha. It looked like when he tried to take off he went down a gear instead up a gear. Nothing like going from 4 to 3 at 65mph!

Wasn't there a story on this board about a biker that did a brake check on an RV - after he felt the RV had cut him off or wouldn't let him pass? The RV ran right over him. Seems like a very similar incident.

Never take a bike to a car fight.

Car driver seemed more concerned about the damage to his car. The cyclist is a prick still requires medical concern.

Looked like the impact caused the rear wheel to bend so when he rolled on the gas again the rear kicked out sideways throwing him off the bike. Wonder if he lived?

So who would be at fault on that one? Seems like a bad idea to brake-check a car while on a bike..

I'm 101% bike friendly, but I refuse to feel sorry for anyone in that video.

It looks to me like the guy on the bike wanted to teach the guy in the car a lesson about lane management and keeping to the right, when something went quite wrong.
(Bike guy'd probably been riding his bumper the whole time the right lane was clear. I suppose he intended to slow the car guy down to the speed of that tanker on the right.) (And why the dash cam - is this Russian video?)
