In a weird roadside incident, an angry motorist pulled over and chastised two cyclists in South Australia on ‘thinking logically.’
The bikers claim that a crimson vehicle sped by them while they were riding through a roundabout on a residential main route in north Adelaide.
The moment the vehicle, a concreter, pulled over and confronted the bikers to explain his understanding of the road laws was captured on video.
The driver claimed he should have had the right-of-way because the bikers could not travel faster than 20 kilometers per hour below the speed limit.
The irritated driver said, “You couldn’t go around the roundabout quickly enough, therefore logically…” before adding they shouldn’t ride so slowly around a roundabout.
One of the patient cyclists replied, “All right. So what you’re suggesting is that we should halt in the middle of the roundabout so you don’t have to yield to the right, as required by law?

A frustrated tradesman (above) yelled at two bicycles in Adelaide for utilizing a roundabout on a major route.
“No, what I’m saying is that you’re incapable of following road rules like everyone else; pull over till it’s safe.” It’s similar to crossing a street,’ claimed the tradesman.
One of the cyclists responded, “A bicycle has no minimum speed limit.”
The tradesman responded, “See, that’s where you need to utilize your head and be a human member of society…”
The biker behind the camera replied, “Perhaps you should improve on your comprehension abilities, learn how to write, and contact your local representative if you have an issue with this, dude.”
The enraged motorist then displayed particular contempt for the rider who was filming the altercation, calling him a “pleb” and firing daggers at him as the front cyclist explained how right-of-way works.
The tradesman continued, “I want you to think logically and humanly” before launching into a disastrous example.
The motorist turned to the videographer and demanded he “stop the f*** up” when he clarified that the tradesman had admitted the cyclist had the right-of-way.
‘You’re a nobody, you’ve remained silent, you’re terrified. Shut up. At least (the biker in front) can speak to me like a guy. You are an absolute p***y. The driver said while gesticulating furiously, “Shut up!”
After additional insults and a prolonged stare-down, the driver ran out of things to say.
Anyway, look, remarked the biker in front, breaking the tension, “you surely have a lovely lunch waiting for you at home, as do I, but I still have to prepare mine.”
However, the tradesman’s wrath persisted.
See what I mean? He can’t be a man and let me speak, but I’ll let you speak. When interrupted, the tradesman replied, “I don’t want to have a conversation with a young lad.”
The enraged construction worker implored one of the bikers to’shut the f*** up’ (above)
The construction worker believed he did the right thing by avoiding colliding with the two bikers.
The cameraman inquired as to why the concreter was not “driving on with his life.”
“Because I want to talk,” the concreter argued, explaining that he only wanted to address the front rider.
The tradesman stated, “You don’t need to talk, you don’t need to put your little baby “niblets” on, be an adult, when you can talk, you talk.”
The rider behind the camera inquired, “Because you’re demonstrating your maturity here with your behavior?”
“Bro,” said the driver.
The contractor added that he only wanted to know why the bikers believed they should utilize a roundabout so that he could “stop getting angry and comprehend” (above)
The rider added, “The way you pulled over, threw a tantrum because you had to slow down, and lost two seconds on your journey home.”
The tradesman responded, “No, because I’m trying to pull over so I can stop becoming angry and understand your rationale.”
The biker then attempted to clarify the incident once more.
He stated, “We have the legal right to ride on the road as we did.”
I neared the traffic circle. Legally required to signal my direction of travel with my right arm, I did so.
“When I entered the roundabout, there were no other vehicles present, and I had the right of way. As I was turning around the roundabout, you approached the roundabout.”
The tradesman interjected with clenched teeth to remark, “That’s what I’m trying to f***ing say, use your thinking and f*** the law.”
When questioned about his sudden change of heart, the contractor informed the bikers that they would be struck if they rode gently on the roundabout.
“Do you know how many crack addicts reside in this area?” he asked the couple.
In contrast to extremely rational individuals such as yourself? asked the rider behind the camera.
“Did I run you over?” the concreter replied.
The young tradesman proceeded while the cyclist in front called the police.
He made one more attempt to plead his case, but as the phone rang and he was unable to provide a satisfactory explanation, he stormed back to his car.
The tradesman said, “See you in (inaudible),” as he made his way to his vehicle.
The front biker remarked, “I really hope you don’t, but you never know, we might get lucky.”
The young man (above) abandoned his tirade and stormed back to his truck.
The event occurred while the riders were stopped on a bike path along one of the city’s major outlying highways.
“Recently, while riding home, a motorist pulled over and exited their vehicle, verbally harassing myself and another cyclist for about ten minutes because we were (legally) riding on the road and were slower than cars. This happened after unlawfully passing us at a hazardous speed and distance on a roundabout, according to the riders who uploaded the video on Reddit.
In the comment area, readers were quick to ridicule the driver.
Many noted his frequent use of the term ‘logic,’ while others observed that his reasoning appeared to circumvent it.
One wrote, “People who misuse this term are typically illogical.”
Another stated, “I’m thinking logically, and I believe that yellow shirt is the first living brain donor.”
One caustic commentator made fun of his attempts at confidence after he repeatedly asked the rider to be “a man.”
They wrote, “He completely defeated those vegan, liberal, p***y cyclists with his macho facts and logic!”
It is comparable to arguing with a kid. One rule for me, another one for you, and don’t call me a name, b***h,’ remarked another.
