This has been posted before.

 

The suggestion by some at the time is that it was staged.

Hard to say really. A few years ago it might have been suspicious but there are cams everywhere now; helmet cams for cyclists, mobile phones with high quality cams and so on, not to mention CCTV, but I don't see why there would be CCTV in that instance.

The camera seems remarkably still, so either not hand held (also mgiht rule the helmet cam theory out) etc.

Can't decide, but have felt like doing similar to certain cyclists (I cycle and walk on the canals frequently, so no axe to grind here, either way. Dickheads are dickheads no matter what their mode of transport.)

Fair enough I have limited access at the moment so unable to check it out.

Apologies, if there was an "Irony (repeats)" section I'd have posted it there. Perhaps I should have read the sanity clause in the user agreement.

If! genuine, I think there may be a bit more dialogue between the two of them.
