What would you have done?

Without knowing your stature it would be hard to say.
Most people when met with a tattood up meathead would think twice about starting something
However if you look like some scrawny hipster just out of uni then they would probably be a lot gobbier towards you..
Hopefully, you had nothing more than a "conversation" and they rode/ran off with a few expletives being fired.

I don't know what I'd do because I wasn't there to assess the situation.
Sometimes I argue with the public when they do something to hurt me (or nearly) when I'm out on my bike and other times I don't if they look more psycho than me.
What else would you like to know and i'll add more detail to the OP?
The rest of the story.

What would you do if one dropped his trousers and started running backwards towards you?
Asking for a friend, obviously.

Best tell us fast, as my mind is almost forgetting this already.
Must be internet generation, easy googling, heavy metals in my brain, early dementia.
Depends where it was. In my little hometown? Probably gone over and had a word, tell em the police are on the way etc. Then avoided any fighting.
If it was in london where i live atm, id just leave it alone and continue on my way. Maybe call the police and report it once away. Not worth the risk getting involved.

Difficult isn't it. Yes you can get physical, which can easily end in a charge of assault (especially if they are 15-16 years old) or you can get stabbed, and your bike nicked, depending on where you are in the country.
I would have had the same initial reaction as you, telling them to stop, I would only get physical if I really had to.As above though, your own appearance can have a big bearing on the outcome.If you are an 8 stone weakling dressed in lycra then it's going to be different to a HD riding gorilla covered in tats and beard.

Considering one has verbally atacked you and has his fists clenced from a foot a way from you? He needs to be on the floor asap as the one to your right would then get the message.
I guess this is all in the heat of the moment, but with you're Adrenalin running high etc there is probably no time to speak to the dick with his fists clenched, so down he should go.
e: Or reverse roundhouse them both with your bike
Maybe get Keith Vaz have a word with them
Just like me haha.
We best not meet
