Hire car,
Cops would check those and local gas stations and epos cards used throughout the day by guys matching his description.
The other car didn't hang around long. I suspect it was not occupied by a large guy or someone who felt able to handle themselves physically because it was like "she's not being murdered is she, she got away - good - ok I'm outta here! No I won't go and ask her if she's alright - she's cyling away in a hurry"

It wasn't a hire car. It was old. I suspect he lives here. I never assumed for a second he'd just arrived. His culture is obviously different to mine and I said he may have cultural reasons for being instantly angry at the sight of me before I even saw him. I don't know why that's so hard to believe when I didn't have a chance to do or say anything or even notice his car before he reacted so aggresively just to the sight of me!

I never said he was a terrorist I think I said he could be an extremist or a fundamentalist - I wouldn't think that was the same thing. If it is I used the wrong words for what I was trying to say.

Although while I would say terrorists are definately the very small minority from his instantly angry yet thought out behaviour I wouldn't put it past someone like that to target particular groups of people. He's not setting bombs in buildings but he's stalking and raping women.

Also his attempt at getting me was in a secluded area on a quiet road after driving past yelling loudly, thinking about it and then coming back. He didn't make noise on his way back until I'd seen him and gone off road. He didn't intend to attract attention to himself. He intended to come up behind me quietly. I'm sure with a thought out plan of attack like that he knew what he was doing.

Also if I have to hot foot it away from a guy who apparently fits the description of a rapist and I say I'm freaked out I'm not overreacting!!!!!!!

I'm a transport cyclist - I get hassled on the roads every day and usually don't get freaked out - I can tell the difference between I'm out to scare you for fun because I'm a wanker and I'm going to try to hurt you!

I can't believe how I'm the bad over-reacting, racist one out of this! Of course I was actually there but other people here somehow KNOW better than me that this guy didn't have and opinions he might have been brought up with that caused him to have that unprovoked attitude towards me!
