      How fun it would be to have an annoying interaction like that and then have to sit their taking photos with strangers when you are b already peeved.

      I don’t know what’s going on but why does that other cyclist not have a helmet on?? Protect your head people!!

      Maybe don’t violate the law and go through red lights! I hope he gets a fine

      As a cyclist, ESH. But I also love this story so much, it feels like good old fashioned meat and potatoes celebrity gossip. Like grandma used to make.

      You know at least one person in that little crowd in the first few frames went about their morning wondering if they just saw Benedict Cumberbatch yelling at a cyclist or if they’re still drunk from the weekend

      This video is a interesting cut. It seems a lot has been cutout if the “altercation” was 10 minutes. I cannot help but be a bit paranoid after the crazy MAGA man tried to hurt Alan Ritcherson and then spin the whole situation around. So I would love to see the whole interaction before I judge anyone. I also find it interesting that the guy without a bike cycling helmet has his faces covered.

      This would have been an amazing viral stunt to promote a one-man play about an enraged cyclist going on a vengeful rampage 😂

      In Belgium we’re getting new trafic signals saying cyclists can cross redlights but don’t have any priority doing so.
      It’s typically meant to let em cross empty pedestrian crossings, or turn right (haven’t seen em allowing anything else).

      Cities trafic systems are not really updated to the bicycles age, it’s coming soon.

      minor edit: ‘sidewalks’ to ‘pedestrian crossings’

      I get very annoyed by cyclists who go through red lights, BUT I love this “drama”. It’s such a nothingburger, you can say nothing about the moral status of anybody involved. I wish all celeb misbehaviour was like this.

      So BC drove through the red lights? And instead of going on, he stopped to fight?

      I mean … I guess … we keep saying that celebrities, after making their millions and not needing to work for another day in their lives, should go do the most mundane things … but I always assumed we thought that they should go eat all the past and drink all the wine they can consume … maybe ride their bikes … but fight with randos on the street?

      Is this midland road?!.?! I live 5 minutes away!’! Some twat was messing with my Camembert HERE!!?? Damn. This makes want to step out of house ever so slightly.

      In other news, rarely have I seen a cyclist wait patiently at a red. On the other hand, I’ve never been hit and cyclists even stop if you’re crossing. I’d reckon the cycle paths next to bus stops are the more challenging spots. I wish we had more such interactions of celebrities in the wild!

      He went through red light 3 times in a row and the cyclist was behind him the entire time?

      That’s one speedy cyclist to be able to keep up

      “You repeatedly broke the law” “no, only once” is not the argument he thinks it is. 

    26. BrasilianInglish on

      It’s safe to assume that London cyclists treat red lights like they’re amber, they don’t apply to them. I legitimately saw a post a while ago asking “do cyclists stop for red lights” and the genuine general consensus was “it depends”….you’re not a lawyer, you’re a person using a vehicle which the road traffic laws apply to lol…it never depends 😂

      Feels like it’s going unnoticed that he’s wearing a helmet too. It’s not like he was in his car. I don’t know what happened but the title seems really misleading.

      Road rage looks so much more pleasant when the vehicles involved weigh less than 100 lbs, and no one has guns.

      Idaho stop. Ready for the people who havent ridden a bike in 20 years to chime in though
      ..

      “The altercation lasted ten minutes before the masked man left and Cumberbatch posed with fans for a selfie” is amazing

    37. Own-Importance5459 on

      The idea that Cumberbatch still posed for Selfies after this is sending me.

    38. Worried_Raspberry313 on

      Can someone transcribe what they’re saying? As a non native speaker, I only understand a few things.

      I’m on Benedict’s side here, I hate when cyclists blow through red lights. At least yield until you know it’s safe.
