17 Questions We Have for an Extremely Irate Australian Driver
Crikey, don’t ride near this bloke.
On Sunday afternoon, or Monday morning in Australia, the Facebook page Kook Life uploaded a video of a remarkably upset Aussie man threatening to fight a cyclist at a red light.
Exactly what possessed the full-grown adult to exit his Mercedes convertible, kick his sandals under the bumper, and “av a go” at the cyclist beside him isn’t clear. What is clear is that this fellow has some feelings about cyclists and, pronunciation be damned, he was going to share them with the group ride that converged on the scene.
We don’t know what happened before the rider with the helmet cam arrived at the stoplight throwdown; all we see is the driver immediately “unclipping” from his “thongs” (Aussie for flip-flops) and inviting the cool-as-a-cucumber cyclist to engage in a fisticuff right there in the road. We can’t print everything he said, so just imagine Crocodile Dundee stepping on a thumb tack and getting seriously pissed off.
Anyway, we have questions for this man, so please write us if those thongs belong to you.
