I don't have any sound on this machine but it stikes that the "Palletline" truck blasting through the red light is more of a threat than some fluoro-nodder.

Is that mentioned?

hahahah I didn't notice the lorry doing the RLJ too, and no it wasn't mentioned at all, only the cyclist...

were there any forumers shown Bednarz?

Not sure, I haven't had the pleasure (right word?) or meeting any lfgssers yet as I ended up meeting with a few friends at the last CM.

eh? I didnt meet an apparition talking to you. you were just about to join, next day or something, anyway see you in march for the big 1.

Nope, not me.
Been on here since November last year.
I've not spoke to a single person off this here forum in the real world!

ah well, first time for everything, just call me mr c (nile)

senile old twat

what a load of fucking bollocks.

I have once been asked to stop and i simply pretended i didnt notice and rode on. Like previously mentioned the only bit of dangerous driving/riding in the entire video was that truck zooming through the lights.

and they didn't even raise the issue of bike theft
a far more heinous crime

Total waste of time

Surely it's about time someone like dispatches actually tells it like it is and looks at the statistics of motor vehicle caused fatalities vs cycling caused fatalilites, and all the other things which we constantly highlight on this forum, unlicenced and uninsured drivers etc.

Would make for a compelling and hard hitting TV program. Who's got Michael Moore's mobile number then? ;-)

Hah! Glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. I have been distributing this picture far and wide today:

there were a couple of idiots in those clips though
the " courier " on the wobbly MTB was just downright dangerous

I'm not sure he was, you know. He was definitely riding very oddly, but seemed to be paying pretty close attention to what was going on around him. As Bill and others would probably point out at this stage, a courier who takes stupid risks is a courier shortly about to be very very skint while they heal.

flouro-nodder - you know it's funny because it's true?

Its good how they stop the cyclist and not the lorry.
Fuck the Polis.
I wouldnt have stopped for that cow.

I got scowled at by some fake bacon along High Street Ken today for avoiding a gigantic hole in the road. Following all the advice on here about HSK being a reasonably high risk part of the world for RLJing, I slowed down and went around a hole and this stupid bitch waved me over. I duly ignored her. If she'd been pleasing on the eye, I might have considered it but she was a right bloodhound.

Was that london's famous Adrian Simpson?
In which country did he present top gear again?
they should have got Clarkson presenting that. At least there would have been some honesty amongst the bigotry.

"We dressed our reporter in a day-glo vest and some lycra trousers. Within minutes he was jumping red lights; mowing-down pedestrians like a velocipedal Boudicca. After just an hour, he was charging along one-way streets contrariwise and irking the Clarksons."

At least, that's what it would have been like if they had a proper reporter, like Ted Maul.

my gf refused to let me watch this programme as I started swearing within 10 secs of it starting.

Ha! Exactly the same thing happened at my house. Unfortunately my expletive filled outbursts meant I was forced to watch Corrie :(

Haha.

"YOU FUCKING LOUSE!

I'm surprised Petronella and her mother weren't interviewed.

Haha.

"YOU FUCKING LOUSE!

Ted Maul is the king
