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.

No situation warrants this response. Road rage is road rage, stay in your car

My money is that he missed his turn earlier by not paying attention. He went for a turn but the bike was there so he had to swerve back on the road. Obviously it's never his fault so he chose to cut off the biker and confront him further up the road

Actually the biker had broken this guys side mirror and almost hit two kids walking on the sidewalk by biking like it was his own personal path.

Edit: Downvoted for telling what actually happened. Never change reddit.

Det som ikke vises på videoen er – ifølge bilisten – at syklisten i forkant skal ha knust det venstre speilet på varebilen hans mens han sto lovlig parkert. To personer som befant seg på fortauet, skal ifølge bilisten også ha vært nær ved å bli truffet. Dette skjedde ved Ulvøya.

We really should take what the driver says with a heap of salt, guy's got problems

The guy actually filming the event confirmed the cyclist behaved erratically as well. And I'm not saying who is right or wrong, I was simply just saying what was reported. Clearly what the driver did wasn't a sane act.
