If he was having a bad day and that pass caused him to loose the plot and give chase, maybe he should have stayed in bed. What's he doing cycling? Certainly not enjoying himself. In the process of the chase it looks like he nearly has a couple of collisions with pedestrians.
It's only a video. No-one was really hurt. And it makes us chuckle because it's the big guy that's gets it and little guy escapes.
On the whole, I agree with you - the cyclist should have let it go. But we've all been there - the endless close passes, the aggression, the occasional low level assault. And always from people who believe in their right to intimidate. It might not be the right person who finally gets your reaction but it certainly isn't without foundation.
If the driver wasn't badly hurt (or at all) then it ended well - for the small guy in all of us that sometimes needs to let his feelings out.
