TitleThreatened by Deliveroo rider

Hi all. Tonight I was about to cross the road on Sauchiehall Street at Charing X on a green man which meant crossing the cycle path. I checked both ways before stepping across however as I stepped forward a Deliveroo rider on one of those electric bikes with the chunky tyres came flying round at considerable speed. I froze up and he almost ran into me. I was grabbed by the collar and threatened with violence. I'm pretty shaken up by this. Every day while driving I have to dodge them riding on the wrong side of the road, one handed riding on their phone or a combination of both.

Was wondering what other people's experience with these pricks are and how best to deal with it? He was wearing a full face motocross helmet so no description to give to the police and I doubt Deliveroo give a fuck either. I'm always looking out for cyclists and motorcyclists as I know how dangerous it is for them and they get enough aggro for existing as it is but these delivery riders seem to have no consideration for anyone, even themselves.

Cheers!
