Ever since drivers and cyclists have shared the road there has been conflict. Shouting, swearing, fisticuffs – we have seen it all before.

It isn’t often that we get to enjoy an almost two-minute battle between the warring parties though, complete with an epic fat man tumble in slow-motion. That you can find towards the end of the video (1:15 or so), although I suggest watching the whole thing because it’s Monday and we are all trying to look busy whilst doing as little as possible.

Here’s the Daily Mail with some background information:

The road rage row was caught on camera by the cyclist after he claimed the driver passed too close to his bike on a Reading road, Berkshire…

The argument continued, with the 51-year-old, from Henley-on-Thames, covering up the camera on the bike and once again goes to leave…

[The] footage ends with the middle aged man running down the street until he appears to trip over something. He goes flying and fall, head-over-heels, into the road. As well as his hurt pride, and most likely a few bruises, the driver will also have a criminal record.

Thames Valley Police confirmed they had investigated the incident and said that the motorist had been given a caution for a public order offence.

The tumbling man should be given some credit for his almost perfect execution of the ‘ass over end’ move, which usually takes years (or around 18 Stellas) to perfect.

In this case we’ll call it cyclist 1 driver 0, although we know this war is far from over…
