Cyclist Deliberately Smashes Car Window Over Baby

[Spymaster]

More proof, if it were needed, of the evil that stalks the streets of London on two wheels.

Baby showered in glass in Croydon cyclist 'road-rage' act - BBC News

How should this act of attempted infanticide be punished?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

The baby did look at him funny tbf.

The sooner we ban cyclists the better.

That twisted headline would do the Mail proud.

Nice try

Ones like this should be shot.

Stabbed, surely?

Would you call this "borderline psychotic" behaviour?

Miss Gautama said the cyclist had long blonde hair worn in a pony tail and was wearing a bright yellow jacket, see-through cycling glasses and black cycling shorts.

Glad he wasn't one of those lunatic cyclists that wear opaque glasses and just keep bumping into everything.

Shoot them all, best to be safe.

Generally any kind of stabbing rampage over minor damage would be seen as an indicator of all not being well with someone, but I'd have to run a quick survey on all the posters here and then boldly declare an opinion on their behalf to be sure.

Well, they don't pay road tax do they, so they'd deserve it. They're like lycra-clad ISIS.

What about a cyclist smashing a window over a toddler after being told by the mother that there was a baby in the car?

What's your diagnosis here?

I thought taxation is meant to be pretty severe under ISIS. Almost as bad as France.

Why didn't he smash the window next to the baby then?

Because overtaking on the inside is dangerous!

Fortunate incompetence that he ended up on the wrong side of the car.

Let me quickly run an imaginary survey of all the posters here and then confidently make a statement on their behalf.

Ah yes, everyone here thinks that this thread is crap.

And also, you'd seriously stand out in a bright lycra top in the desert.

You've not see the desert range then?

No, desert, not dessert.

Well hopefully you can improve it by providing some more expert analysis of this potential murderer's mental state?

"Potential Murderer". Daily Mail Jackpot Hyperbole!

Unfortunately idiot drivers don't leave you any other option.

There are often threads after newsworthy road-rage incidents. Why would this thread be any crappier than all the others? It's obvious that some lunatics use 2 wheels as well as the 4-wheeled nutters.

Smashing someone's window is a bit more mental than swearing and chasing someone, or eating cereal.

 

[Spymaster]

Hyperbole!

That's a big word for you. Well done!

Any chance of dealing with the thread subject and desisting with this FAQ busting derail?

Thanks.

I ride a bike and I just don't do it. Had too many near misses and seen others have some nasty spills (luckily not too injured).

 

[sleaterkinney]

She said a cyclist thumped the car roof as he passed and when the car overtook him she leaned out of the window and told him to be more considerate.

I guess, in hindsight the cyclist may have thought we were too far on his side of the road and there wasn't enough room to get past us, but he still managed to cycle past us.

So basically he was almost put into oncoming traffic then told to be more considerate.

Why thank you. Most kind.
