| I do not know if anyone else has seen the video of the owner of Brew Coffee houses passing then slowing down and stopping to block cyclists in Richmond and then proceeding to scream unbelievable abuse at the cyclist and I wonder about other peoples opinions. I first saw a short video starting with the rant and (while there is no justification) I wondered what the cyclist did to provoke him. I then saw the whole video from a minute prior and saw the cyclist did NOTHING - he was just one of many cyclists on that stretch of road and apparently, this entitled idiot decided to try to teach lesson by stopping, yelling and creating a dangerous situation for all all. I can only imagine he thinks he owns the roads and was not being able to get to his luxury home fast enough due to cyclists. I have cycled that stretch of road before and while there is a SINGLE narrow cycle lane next to a WALKING lane on the other side of the street it is not easily used by 2 way cycle traffic. Cyclists have a legal right to travel on the roads if they follow all traffic laws, which this cyclist appeared to be doing. I am disgusted and I heard they are planning to open a new branch of his coffee house in Chiswick called BREW .... I, personally, will now NEVER purchase from this place and will take my custom to one of the many other coffee choices we have in W4. I hope it does not open http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/australian-butcher-jason-wells-caught-in-extraordinary-road-rage-rant-at-cyclist-im-sorry-10291060.html |
