This video is doing the rounds on Facebook, Is this recent ? I'm guessing It's an old Video but I haven't seen this before... https://www.facebook.com/mick.ward.7169 ... 561045553/

Looks pretty shocking, but a good job it happened before those road signs a little further up the road. Do you know what happened after this? Police action etc?

A few reports with little information other than what can be seen in the video.

So it is a recent video then, wasn't sure.
This is sickening, I hope the rider was ok and they get caught, got to be a long prison sentence for something like this.

I'm surprised that anybody should be surprised that this type of thing happens, except perhaps for those whose reaction is along the lines "this never happens to me so the rider must have provoked it."

Among the various things that have happened to me, I was lucky that the only time I had somebody aping a team mechanic, they didn't know how to bring me down, so I was only shaken. I fear that being able to film their own antics may encourage these people.
