As the driver maneuvered out of the way of the bicyclist, who was standing beside his Citi Bike, he is seen positioning the bicycle in front of the vehicle. 

The driver then ran over the front wheel and past the light as the cyclist displayed two middle fingers as the vehicle passed him. He then flipped the bird to other honking drivers before getting on the bicycle and leaving the scene unharmed.
