Another Cyclist Road Rage, This Time The Cyclist Threw His Bike at Car

Another year, another cyclist/bicycle news.

I admit, I’m unfairly using the new week-turned-new year once-a-year circumstance to my advantage.

But seriously, you get my point right?

There was Ofo which was reportedly considering bankruptcy due to cashflow problems, and that swiftly became a localized issue when Singaporean Ofo users were ghosted by the company when requesting for refund.

There was also the infamous cyclist/lorry road rage and was-it-a-side mirror-or bottle case which captured the attention of all justice-loving Singaporeans.

And those do not even take into account one-off weird biking cases such as “YOUTH CRASHED OFO BIKE INTO WALL & SAYS HE WANTS TO GET TRENDED ‘BADLY’” or “YOUTH FILMED THROWING OFO & OBIKE OFF BRIDGE & APPEARED PROUD OF HIS FEATS”

Gosh.

Same Old Brand New Case

There’s a saying, “the past catches up with you.”

No, it’s not that your past becomes a Bird-Box invisible ‘monster’ that comes running after you.

Although, if my colleague is right in his analysis, the cyclist’s 2018 fears/demons could very well come back to haunt him in the 2019-present in the video below:

Posted by Antonio Tan on Singapore Reckless Drivers Facebook page, this aptly-titled ‘Tantrum Cyclist’ has garnered more than 47K views so far.

To cut the not-so-long story even shorter, this is the gist of what happened:

“Hi, need help to ID the cyclist. This happen in 30th September 2018.
A cyclist used his bike as a weapon to attack my friend’s car.
The cyclist lifts up his bike and smashes the pedals across the bonnet.
He then fled leaving deep scratches.
TP report have been lodged against the cyclist and after waiting for a couple months with no result.
We hope the public can help us to ID the cyclist.
Thank you very much.”

(Oh, so this is before the cyclist / lorry incident. Cool.)

While attempting to move off from a stationary position at a junction, a cyclist had appeared out of nowhere in front of the car.

After some exchange or words, and presumably vulgarities, middle fingers unfurled too before the the cyclist placed his bicycle on the car bonnet while challenging the driver.

The driver declined, reversed and wanted to move off before being hit by a ten-tonne bike.

It’s a Bird Box, It’s a plane, It’s ———-

Seeing as to how there are so many similarities and synchronicity among all these incidents, I would just like to talk about how Superman seems to be a common motif among all of them.

I mean, can someone explain to me why there are always things flying in these videos?

Did the Wright brothers imagine a day when bicycles were flying off bridges and/or into people’s faces when they first invented the plane?

If it’s any consolation, we can at least identify the flying object in Antonio’s and Stomp’s video.

What about the case with this face?

Last we heard, the lorry’s side mirror was damaged.

But even that does not tell us what the flying item in the GIF/Video was.

What we do know however, was that the lorry driver had to replace it with a $15 replacement.

Flying off-tangent

Can you tell that I’ve lost all mojo when it comes to writing about bicycles?

Since I work at Goody Feed on alternate days only, someone please tell me what are the permutative odds that I’ve gotten to write about at least one cycling news every time step in, for 4 weeks in a row?

Heck, from 2018-2019.

But I’m a good man and I work for Goody Feed.

So if someone happens to be able to ID this “Tantrum Cyclist,” please do not hesitate to get in touch with Anotonio Tan or the TP for a swift arrest.
