'A message from the moped driver reads "Yes I am allowed to be in the
cycle lane"....'

Apparently, it's a terrible crime to push a cyclist into a hedge, but
it's perfectly permissible - and even praiseworthy - for a cyclist to
seriously endanger the life of a motor-cyclist by punching him
(delivering a "good left hander") when he is travelling at speed.

I think they call it "moral relativism". Or perhaps "degeneracy".

* Motorcyclist was in the wrong

* Cyclist was in the right

Come on .. it's not _that_ difficult. Even you should be able to grasp it.
I mean.. it's not even like I wrote it in Latin.....

Reports can be very light on relevant facts - was it a moped or was it
in fact an electrically assisted pedal cycle? Where was it? Looks
like a UK shared use pavement, but everyone is driving on the right so
it's somewhere on the mainland. And he didn't punch the moped rider, he
slapped his helmet and his camera fell off. Because he thought he was
too fast/close? The common saying: "If your (car) is close enough to
get kicked then you're driving too close to cyclists". Not sure how
that translates to pedelecs, which are in English law almost
indistinguishable from ordinary pedal cycles

Apparently, it was in Sweden and they were taking Swedish in the clip.

What's Swedish - why do they take it?

I suppose if it's a drug, it will be something that cyclists take.

I believe it's similar to 'Citreon' which Salt & Wriggler mentioned.
