This is from a regularly scheduled Everglades Bike Club weekend ride in Key Biscayne, USA, on a 10km stretch of road, and all the drivers know to expect it will be there in the mornings.

      Blocking someone or yelling at them isn’t a threat of violence, its just assholish behavior.

        But moving your car in a manner to threaten bodily harm if they’re to pass, outside of normal operation, is assault or intimidation depending on where you do it.

          Eh, I never interpreted it as a threat, only “If I can’t go because of traffic, neither can you! Riding on the lines is illegal!”.

          I know bicyclists who have been pushed into the shoulder by assholes, that is threatening, but just getting in someone’s way to lower them to your level is merely childish behavior.
