Video: ‘Angry’ cyclist shoots fireworks at scooter rider from homemade contraption on bike

These cyclists, hey? This is just typical of their behaviour

The latest video from Dafne Fixed has been taken at face value by a number of newspapers. You can perhaps make up your own minds about it.

If it’s any help, Dafne Fixed have previously brought us…

Fireworks are nothing anyway. We’ve previously reported on a bike fitted with a handlebar flamethrower and another from which 1,000 rockets were launched.

Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

Did this on my car many many years ago when I was a stupid gadget freak teenager. Had length of steel tubing under front bumper with bit of insulated wire wool a set length down it which was wired to a switch on my dash board from the battery. Insert rocket in tube, flip switch, wire wool goes red like a cigarette lighter and ignites fuse. Only used on mates cars (no damage done) on deserted roads. Quite funny at the time and surprisingly accurate but horrendous now. Was really annoying to have to stop and get out to reload though.

I think the only thing real is that they inadvertently started a brush fire at the end.

I want one of those, but there needs to be a better system for lighting the fireworks.

Yeah, I was thinking that: surely it could be rigged up to Di2.

You can buy plasma arc lighters in cigarette/cigar/stick form factors on Amazon, which are USB rechargeable; I have a 2 pole stick one and it easily lights paper, melts/burns plastic cord, and is hot enough to melt Silver solder.  An extension to the power switch could probably be carefully hacked.

Before you publish an article, make sure that people really get what you are trying to say.

 

Dafne Fixed is quiet famous within the fixed community in Italy - the guy that fires the firework, is sponsored by Cinelli actually. Anyway, I would give everybody the advice to check the youtube channel and maybe you will understand the big mistake he did by publishing such an article. HINT: they are all friends and they are just acting like if he was angry at the guys on the scooter.

Hmmm, I would suggest that these are much more accurate and indeed will make a bit of a mess of the intended target. http://www.baesystems.com/en-us/product/apkws-laser-guided-rocket

No good if you're on a bit of a budget though, ex USSR military should still be able to make a big splash and there's a shit ton of it about at bargain basement prices, failing that a drone with a blow pipe and poison tipped darts would be acceptable
