Pacifists, or those frightened by black cycling clothing, look away:

Yeah, this has been circling for a year or so. The date on the article is Feb 2019.

So...

Interesting to watch no matter.

Old guy packs a mean left hook! Blammo.

It's very satisfying to watch. If I could punch that well I would be afraid to do it, it's potentially fatal, especially if the person falls wrong

I didn’t realize David letterman had a mean left hook!

Old man is fit as a god... big mistake :D

Excellent. Think 2x before deciding to beat up an older gentleman.

I avoid a fight at any cost. But the equation is usually sick fit strong athlete cyclist VS fat smoking lard ars. I figure my odds aren't too too bad. Considering I can run a 174 HRM for an entire 20k TT, I might could endure a pushing session reasonable like.

Cage fighter wanna be hoping outta the car not withstanding. Beware of the dude with the cauliflower ears is the moral to the story...


In fact that has happened to me, two idiots [me being one] yanking and banking on each other until one of us got all outta breath. Wasn't me... Although I am a 'has been' and that was 20 years ago. But also my grandpa took out a whipper snapper a year before he died much like that punch in that video when in his 70s.

Then there is the gun and bullets, no me, So I will be the target with the bullseye...

I digress...

Grandpas knows how to drop one, because back in the day boxing or learning how to fight was a must back in the day... now a days pretty much "u have to be niiiicccceeeeeeeeeeeeee" and add that the situation that kids now a days arent good with "come backs" and they cry for anything you say to them, make bullies a lot more powerfull now a days than back in the day.

Ya. Im 64 and to my surprise a few years ago I dropped a 6 foot 3 inch 275 pounder that threatened me because I wouldn't ride on the sidewalk. He assaulted me and wound up on the ground with him asking me if I was a Ninja:p:p:p:p

I'd almost certainly come away with a boxers fracture with punch like that...

My fear is that being 62, I might over compensate and permanently hurt someone. Then my bike budget for 10 years wasted on legal fees to stay outta jail. Better my pride and my ars got put to the ground...

Saw this a while ago too.
What I found really impressive was he did that in road shoes/ cleats.

Classic! So funny. :hello: :banana: :hello: :banana:

Never pick a fight. With anyone.
Three car jackers attacked a 5'3" teenaged girl to steal her sports car. She broke both arms on all three and one leg on each by the time the police showed up. You don't know what people are capable of.

In this case I think a man jumping from his truck to accost a cyclist is fair game with no reasonable excuse or way to claim he was a victim.
