TobyOneKanobe watch out for the pesky bike police! Had to giggle at their sirens though heh heh... power trip or what!
This made me think that maybe one could out ride a police, those mountain bikes look like they weigh a ton, this is a bad idea but it would be hilarious, take them through some narrow gaps and watch my cut down flat bars win
mwahahaha -

ads I used to live in W Hampstead, lots of rude people with rude and over indulged children. Bah Humbug!
As my nan (gawd rest her soul) was fond of pointing out, West Hampstead used to be part of Kilburn until they ran out of tube station names, and is inhabited by people whose main ambition in life is to tell other people they live in Hampstead.
@RPM you're not allowed back into Tooting until you've flame-throwered the guy in the big silver Cherokee.

Tobyfixed my favorite bit was the woman talking to the traffic warden in Hampstead who said if she got any more tickets her husband would take the cost out of her 'clothes allowance'. it's a hard life.
much respect for the grieving Mrs Barlow, she speaks the truth.
liked that bit.
what about the hampstead mum outside the council office. "they say we add 50% of the traffic at school times, they're just picking on us, what about the other 50%"..... deerr like ones fixing your £20,000 pound kitchen etc. they should ban people driving kids to school particularly in hampstead. it's nuts i used to commute along fitzjohn's everyday, totally crzy. when it's school holidays the traffic is fine, it's the looney parents in 4x4's. that twat in the Jeep needs a good uppercut to bring him into the realm of normal people.
BTW the dude who got caught RLJing 3/4 through (the normal one, not courier) who said 98/100 he would do it is on this forum. Hi joe, in fact it's his mercian i just built. :D

Can I download programmes from outside the UK?
The BBC uses Geo-IP technology to identify where your are based on the location of your internet service provider (ISP). This ensures that only internet users in the UK can enjoy programmes on BBC iPlayer.
If you download a programme to your laptop or a portable hard drive, you can watch this wherever you are in the world. However, you will only be able to download new programmes once you return to the UK.
Why do I need to be in the UK to use BBC iPlayer?
Rights agreements mean that BBC iPlayer is only available to users in the UK. However, BBC Worldwide is working on an international version, which we will make available as soon as possible.
geuss i miss out on this, shame as it seems ace.

how exactly are they supposed to fucking do it then? helicopter at 2am? of course if it was HIS house having work done, then it would be everyone else's fault for stopping HIS people from doing their jobs.
and "how do you expect my child to walk two miles when he's only SEVEN years old!?"
I think we all walked further when we were kids, at 7 I was walking 4 miles to school and getting home a 5:30pm.
It's bile inducing to know that he isn't the only grown man out there who has the attitude, understanding and social conscience of a spoilt toddler.

Sano Can't find it on the iPlayer...
Anyone have a link, or know what it was actually called?
It was called 'Road Rage: The Battle for Britain's Roads" sadly it doesn't seem to be on iplayer or on demand which is a bit annoying as I missed it as well...Dammit!

I didn't see this cos I don't have a TV, but my mates phoned to say that they'd seen me on TV described as a cycling anarchist at CM. Sounds like the Brasseye guys were producing it.

rob:your not the only one....when i was going to junior school i had to work 2-3 miles each way.its not the attitude of the children its the parents....walking that distance to school taught me a good lesson....HTFU!!!! -

Annoys the crap out of me as well. Unfortunately (knowing my missus) she will probably drive my boy to school when he reaches that age as she is a lazy fecker. It's about 1/2 a mile BTW.
Back in the day I used to have to catch 2 buses and a train to get to my school.

I thought this prog was alright actually in what it highlighted.
The dude who lost his wife by bein run over by the National Express coach and the cyclist squashed by the cement truck was very sad and in both incidences could easily been prevented.
It showed how ugly people these days have become just to get from A to B on a typical day.
The clothing allowence lady was unbeleivable. The 50 yr old in his bling mobile dude again unbelievelably blinkered and clueless.
If peope are not realising by now that attitudes for one another on the roads need to change then a programme like this is probably the only way to get some sort of message across to these knobs as nothing gets dealt untill its already happened resulting in the above.
I see cyclists getting fines for jumping reds this AM. Also see a tradesman reversing without looking properly almost taking out a queue of 15 children and teachers then blaming and having a go at them for being in the way...oh well maybe they'll be repeating this programme very soon.. -

we found interest in this program because it featured cycling....something we enjoy...hench why we watched it....
the people that are the real danger on the road are not going to be interested in watching the program....so in that respect i feel the intended message is not going to be put across effectively. -

Unless, that is, we gather them all up with the promise of, I don't know, candy or drugs or larger 4x4s, strap them down in a suitable location (I'm sure the Rich Mix would be up for it), and force them to watch footage like this, á la Clockwork Orange, until they learn their lesson...

a fuck it, lets just dent the shit out of every "town style" 4x4 within the M25 and rape/murder the inhabitants.
I'm not fussy which order we proceed in.
