Cyclists and cameras

[oscar 4b]

Is this guy going a little over the top perhaps.

In my opinion he is a bit of a herbert.

Looks to me like he's about to nip down the near side of that truck and then get all pissy when he finds himself squished under its wheels.

Guys with cameras tend to ride like dicks IME (cycle in London daily).

Always wonder how anyone could get killed by goods vehicles, buses and the like. Who is going to take chances with something that size?

A comment I would agree with

[BlackVanDyke]

My best mate is a fairly serious amateur cyclist. To spare the ‘cool story bro’ moment suffice to say no, he probably isn't OTT at all.

I cycle around 3,000 miles per annum, mostly commuting into central London. He is OTT. Very much OTT.

This very brief and simple video should be compulsory viewing for anyone about to cycle amongst traffic/HGV's:

I don't even use my bicycle and yet I still find it quite scary to see!

Cyclists with headcams are the biggest tits alive.

[Kiltie]

OP - try these.

[otolith]

Roadhawk (who make dash cameras for cars) now make helmet cams for cyclists. Presumably all their customers are dicks, not just the ones on two wheels?

[Kiltie]

Do they make them for unicyclists as well?

[g3org3y]

Looks like a tt. Almost certainly rides like a tt.

how comes when i undertake a car i get pulled over......

when a cyclist undertakes one and gets knocked off as the car turns into a side road its the car driver's fault??

i know a few cyclists and they agree that there are some VERY angry cyclists out there who just can't stand car drivers.

like this guy.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwVoGCmwAww

the ambulance is slightly close to him as it overtakes (but not overly)

he then chases, has a go, goads and gestures. When he overtakes the ambulance, he remains in the middle of the lane to stop the ambulance from getting past and then as the bus/cycle lane approaches, he looks over his shoulder and refuses to use the empty cycle lane but instead pushes the amubulance out.

and he states that the ambulance driver is the one with the road rage (in his title) whereas it is the cyclist thats getting all agro and having a go and mouthing off and playing chicken with a 3tonne ambulance!!!

oh dear!!

His other videos are interesting. Would this not be classed as leaving the scene of an accident?

[problemchild1976]

motorcyclists can be just as bad.......

when i used to ride (push and motor), i expected drivers to not see me or underestimate my speed or not predict my movements......these cam heroes seem unable to take this into consideration and its ALWAYS the car driver's fault no matter what.

i wish push bikes were registered as well

I fairness, I do find that sometimes they give naff all room we they pass. One wobble & you're under.

Looks like a Ford Focus dashboard, also needs to change his wiper blades according to the yellow dot.

It is a focus estate, used as a general st carrier, you should see the seats. And yes the wipers are crap, the yellow dot, how does that work then.
