Police in the wrong? Cyclist owning more of the road than he needed? Bad as each other? You decide.......

Bad as each other - cyclist in the middle of the lane, BiB shouldn't have undertaken.

I make the cyclist in the wrong. I thought the bus lanes were open to cyclists too? I'm sure thats the case in London anyway.

Why is he bang in the middle of the lane? Making a right turn?

Technically the cyclist should be in the bus lane I guess, but there's no need to cut him up like that.

I would have had more respect if the copper had pulled him over and suggested he ride in the bus lane.

If the cyclist's intention was to move into the bus lane, I think the police were out of order there.

In that situation a less confident or accomplished rider might have cut back into the buss lane sooner and it could very well have been splat.

Cyclist was doing a right... What the police officer did wasn't exactly right, but he didn't put the cylist in danger. When i'm on the bike, i'm not arsed if people are following the rules, as long as they don't put me in danger.

Who was the bloke on here who set his bike down in the middle of the road to 'block' a driver behind him or something? So much anger it was scary...this bloke reminds me a bit of him.

I love the faux-rational voice the helmet-cams put on as well; "can I have your badge number please?" like ordering a latte, when you can hear them trying not to scream "that was ATTEMPTED MURRRRRRRDDDDEEEERRRRRRR!"

hehe

I won't be getting a helmet cam.

Sort of agree but if the police were going to pass on the nearside they should not have cut back across so quickly - deliberate intimidation in my eyes.
