Not as clear cut as it looks. Apparently the guy is a fox hunt supporter and the lady is a hunt monitor. He is deliberately blocking the road to prevent the hunt monitor from following the hunt to film illegal activity by the hunt. That's as far as I understand it anyway and await correction from those better informed.

Interesting. She looks like the world's worst ninja, and yes, it looks like she's a car passenger who has maybe jumped out to take offence at being held up (looks a very narrow lane, and he's going very slowly, I wonder what the lead up to this was).
Of course it's posted on the site as 'cycle' altercation, and not 'driver' altercation, or 'pedestrian' altercation, or 'rubbish ninja' altercation. Is it just me or does 'cycle' altercation suggest the aggressor is the cyclist?
[EDIT]Ah, thanks Boff, that puts some context to it. All very odd!

love the way her hair swishes! how funny. but even if he is obstructing them on purpose, does she not realize that a fractured hip from pushing a bike over could easily be fatal?
Boff - presumably that should be 'to film alleged or suspected illegal activity' ?

SRD - Yes, it's only suspected/alleged illegal activity.

The Daily Wail may well implode at the very thought of this (we can but hope).
Cyclist, hate hate hate, kick him! He's in the way of a car! Look how dangerous he is! What's that? Pro-hunt? Holding up a woolly liberal animal lover? Look how violent she's being, that poor man!
Quick, Geoff, how do we get out of this dilemna?
I've got it Frank! Black leggings are so in this year. And doesn't that flick of the hair remind you of Kate Middleton?
Geoff, you're a genius.

@anth, I believe that's what is called cognitive dissonance. And then some!
