You can't see what really transpires, as they move round the corner at the critical time, so its hard to say what happens and who kicks off first.
BUT: If I was the cyclist and the guy started getting physical on me I respond with force required to prevent myself from comming to physical harm. If that mean hitting a guy in the face with a mini d then so much. The messenger is clearly not so strong as the blows don't floor the asian fella, so the use of a weapon to "win" is "sensible".
Just to note I'd of tried everything to avoid a fight. But if I'm going to have to get in one the other bloke is going down hard if I can get my way. Whats the point in a gentle punch in the face?
