Riding into cyclists because they are slow and in the way is inexcusable.

Cyclists often tend to ignore the laws of the road and expose themselves to a lot of danger - but this was not one of those times.

Middle of road on the phone going half speed of everyone else Id say that's putting your self in danger .

He was also holding his phone to his left ear with his right hand while trying to ride the bike. WTF?

Agree it is wrong, but that does not excuse the actions of the rider who knocked him off his bike. In fact having seen him on his phone I would have given even more room.

Not the middle of the road - look closely and you see there are markings there creating a little (cycle?) lane.
He's totally predictable and visible. No excuse to knock him off.

[Ferrit]

Even if he was in the middle of the road without a lane, it is just plane wrong to crash into anybody.....if people really think otherwise then they will have to stay silent and accept it the next time it happens to them.

Yup - watch again - the cyclist is steady in his lane and the Ducati rider just rides straight into him.

I'm not saying should have run into him just I think he was in a dangerous place not paying attention whether it was a cycle lane or not and think its a bad idea to have cycle lane there .Plus I thought him and bike rider were tossers police lady was nice I liked her .

The cyclist is an idiot, but the biker is an even bigger idiot gives us all a bad name, he could have killed the cyclist, I'm with pikey the police woman is nice i wouldn't mind her arresting me
