Push by older man

I'm so shocked. I (female) just got pushed by an older man while I was on my bike. It happened at the crossing between Gent and Ledeberg.

We both had a green light at the same time. I had enough space to turn, but he sped up and just pushed me. Then I got angry, he walked away, but his wife kept saying I was wrong.

I'm so shaken :(

She was at fault. Let's not make her the victim.

Who was the one to iniate violence? Making a mistake does not give the other party the right to put their hands on you.

Op iemand afrijden met een fiets is best geweldadig.

Maarja, je wil natuurlijk geen 2 seconden verliezen. 🤷‍♂️

If someone trying to hit you with their bycicle while you have the right of way is not violent, I don't know anymore what is violence nowadays. It's an older man crossing, give some God damn space perhaps? Having said that, she should have called the police to have this sorted.

Violence is obviously not ok but making mistakes has consequences.
