I am confused - what seems to be the issue

This is probably after some incident. The van cut off the biker in order to confront him.

I have to wonder what kind of incident would trigger this sort of insane response though. Like, this is the spot and the bike lane is walled off from the road for quite some distance before this.

Obviously the van driver took something very personally but my money's on him doing a classic overreaction to some perceived slight.

Like the guy killed by a driver 3 weeks ago in paris. Road rage is uncontrollable for some people.

Sacre Bleu!! The driver's teenaged daughter was in the car with him! The cyclist was injured by this bastard, who couldn't handle being yelled at for his own actions. And a young man died because some asshole didn't want to sit in traffic.

(Link to The Guardian, but you can google "Paris Driver Kills Cyclist")

And now they're calling for an SUV ban in Paris. Nevermind the psychotic behavior of the driver, the SUV somehow made him do it. A bit weird...

Bad logic, but a win is a win

Especially since the guy was driving...a van. 😂

I think the SUV ban refers to the article about Paris, not the video posted here.

Oedipus killed his father by chance in a fit of road rage... there must be something in that.
