The War on Britain's Roads (BBC Documentary / tabloid tv)

Hmmmmm.

A load of crap, doesn't change anything in my view. The Lucas Brunelle footage is going to taint peoples view on couriers and promotes negativity towards them, they have a hard enough time as it is.

Love the mother. She's done more good than anyone on the show.

What say we send some thank you flowers.

Can we figure out who she is?

If she has a Charity, I'd like to make a small Christmas donation.

She's the Chairperson of RoadPeace

http://www.roadpeace.org/about/trustees/

I thought I knew her name.

I'll send a thank you there, in her name, and will also send the entirety of this year's tithe to RoadPeace too.

I thought it was crap, not enough stonehedge:

Actually I thought it was surprisingly balanced. I still think they shouldn't have used Lucas Brunelle's footage as he rides like a dick all over the world, not just in London. But whatevs. It is arguably partly our fault for promoting his films at the Bicycle Film Festival every year...

nice one

Some really bad filming and directing from the BBC, just made me super dizzy but watching it!

Im not saying its right but its a minority what less than 50 compared to the 1000's that cycle everyday.

Yeah, good point. Didn't mean to sound like I was having a go!

Just getting riled up here, all that adrenaline from feeling like I've just had 50 near-misses.

Who is this 'our' you are talking about?

Traffic Droid is a legend

Did a quick search, her name is Cynthia Barlow

^^^ London's famous London's fixeh cycling community. Because it does exist, obviously.

I was being quite somewhat sarcastic and should have said 'our' to make that clear. Like you did Will.

^^ +1.

fekkin tosser wannabe couriers ..want some thrills?? get a fekin bmx and get on the ramps..or a MTB and charge the hill.... dont kill a pedestrian or endanger the lives of other well meaning road users..... PRICKS.......sensible cyclists ..expect the unexpected..keep safe

Brave mum.

Is... is finchy a troll?
If he/she is then they're obviously a troll who hasn't done their research by reading the rest of this thread.

EDIT: Clearly not! I just couldn't see the rest of the posts.

Nice quote from the mother....cooperation not confrontation...nice.

+1 totally agree

@ dglshrn Why is he being a troll? Thats a perfectly reasonable point of view.

I would like to see BFF refuse to have any more of Brunelle's films screened, at least in London anyway.
Its the cycling equivalent of boy racers doing illegal joyriding through suburbs and posting their dumb, dangerous, macho videos on youtube.
Fuck him and the people that ride like that. I dont care how much of a 'line' you think you see between pedestrians.

So what I gathered from that programme is that I hate cyclists , taxi drivers , coppers , lorry drivers , pedestrians and Gareth.

Cycle training wasn't mentioned so far as I could tell. How was Addison Lee not given a mention?

The programme appeared weighted against cyclists. Cycling might be 'more interesting' over the weekend.

I agree with the sentiment, but the way finchy's comment was written was obviously ironic.

EDIT: My Ironydar is down.

(having seen his/her other posts.)

Anyone else wants to be a police officer on bike after this programme? Might give up my day job to fight crime!

troll?no!!!.. ive been disabled by arsehole drivers in their cocoons... i was a responsible cyclist .. and actively looked out for the welfare of fellow cyclists.. wannabe brakeless cycliststs are a threat to all other road users... when im walking i take my responsibility as a pedestrian...if im driving (not often) i take my responsibility as a driver...weve all got to take responsibility for our actions ...so markr whatever.. and whatever the other @troll@ was called ..get real..get a life.. learn how to ride a bike.... whels keep turning.. tarrrrraaa

That's a great idea.

Can we donate to the flower fund?
