CD10!

Should have hit the side of the car and taken the driver to the cleaners. If there was something coming the other way he wouldn't have had a choice. Driver blindly following another car out of a juction without even thinking of looking.

If it were a motorbike they'd be another road death thread going on here instead.

Maybe BRAKE and Freinds of the Earth could sponsor him.

Bloody cyclists, they just don't want to share the road with anyone.

Nice generalisation there, but I think you will find that most are happy to share the road with careful and considerate drivers.

I have not looked at any of the videos but anyone who videos and posts up "incidents" are just out looking for something to shout about.

Some cyclists are very considerate, but in central london there appears to be some sort of millitant/left wing/eco freindly/fair trade cyclists movement waging war on anything with an engine.

It does look like it's a hobby for him. Shame for the rest of us that cycle.

Nope I think its good.
That car driver nearly taking him out above = typical not looking too

[cheadle hulme]

As a cyclist who usually defends these people, can I just say this guy is a bit of a knob. If you want a more balanced view of the dangers highlighted by helmet cams, look up magnatom or bentmikey on youtube.

What an absolute bellend There's no denying the near miss in that first video but everything else I've looked at in his channel is him having a go at people in cars...and all old people and women, or is that just the selection I've found? He seems to be a bit of a verbal bully.

Mind you, as such an active person with a temper like that it's only a matter of time until his heart throws in the towel.

And a lot of them act like wearing spandex in public gives them some kind of "halo of protection" on the road, cutting up cars, filtering dangerously at traffic lights, not bothering with signalling, or lights, or making themselves visible on the road, hiding in blindspots behind vans / buses etc and then shooting out to catch another gap in the traffic, running red lights, going on and off the path when it suits them to get ahead of traffic etc, the list could go on.

You might expect them to ride with consideration, and keep their distance from the large, fast moving, metal boxes, but a lot of the time they don't.

Don't even get me started on those times when you see a Lance Armstrong wannabe riding along the middle of an NSL road, holding up a line of traffic because he couldn't do more than 20mph and he couldn't possibly move over and let the traffic pass when safe to do so.

If you can't get past then it isn't safe to do so

What a hypocritical prick. One day he will say something to the wrong person and get knocked out

I like his comment to this video:

"Using a 4x4 to "punish" me for stopping in front of the line?

Get some sense of proportion. Don't drive vehicles at human beings just because you're peeved."

How was he being "punished"? And as for a sense of proportion...

What an angry little man.

I meant the cylist riding at the side of the road when safe to do so (like even the prat in the OP's post seems to do) instead of slap bang in the middle of it, pretending the line of fed up drivers behind him are cameras cars and not actually people being made late for work

I don't mind cyclists only time they annoy me is when they ride two abreast.

A few weeks back had two cyclists in a busy residential area riding two abreast absolutely no consideration for anyone else.

If you're on a long deserted strech of nsl then yeah ok cycle with your mate side by side and when a car comes get back in I've seen many considerate cyclists do this.

Not seen the video but I never cycle in the gutter, it's safer to cycle out towards the crown. It seems more women get injured on bikes because they get pushed into the gutter.

I'm afraid there's a lot of roads where it isn't safe to cycle near the edge.

He is going to get in a lot of trouble one day.

I was just thinking that. He's going to find out the hard way, I suspect.
All it will take is him ragging on someone driving a cloned car (because that's what crims do!) and he's history.

And good riddance.

His blood pressure must be off the scale! He needs to calm down and drink less coffee or he's gonna have a heart attack.

[anonymous-user]

The best thing to do is to ignore this duckhead. Its all about the attention. I hope in the meantime He meets someone with a great left hook and little patience.

[vxrandy]

Those roads are local to me, look out for him shouting at a red monaro blocking him off

on that one he went through the green light for pedestrians...

I love that one, the way he's way, way, way over the line but looking back at a car that's slightly over it. You can almost feel the disgust.

What a tt, learn to stop at red lights yourself, idiot.
