Safety ALWAYS come 1st. It MUST be a riders number one priority to keep themselves & other road users safe & sound at all time. Yes, every now & then we all have a crazy brain explosion, but try to think well ahead before you leap. Stay safe guys .. Nick from Aus🙏
When I saw this last week on the video, I thought right away how dangerous that move was. Thanks so much bringing this to the attention of others. Safety should ALWAYS be our first though
I always announce myself if I’m passing someone unexpectedly. (Although I have to admit that doesn’t happen often) You’re right, this guy makes cyclists look like idiots.
It's just a matter of riding ethics. Not only was he putting his life at risk & the drivers', but the riders behind him. Cycling with others is a game of situational awareness. You have to be conscious of not only your own self, but those around you. I feel stupid even having to type that out.
I've often wondered if Strava has had lawsuits similar to what Niantic had when Pokemon Go launched? Niantic was forced to change their tracking system because kids were blindly stepping out into streets to cross roadways with eyes glued to their phones.
I hope you had a conversation with him at the bottom. If nothing else just to let him know that what he did made you uncomfortable. perhaps next time he won't think he has to to take such a risk to show off.
I love speed and im 6' 195lbs and 47years old been riding bike for little over 1 year. however going 38~40mph going down is fun but if i dont know the road conditions i slow the hell down knowing u hit a rock while turning u will slide... 1 sec thats all its going to take for you to crash. Hope everyone take safety more seriously and always ride safe so u can have more fun rides 😄
I always wonder how many people get killed for a Strava segment. We have local’s go out in horrible weather chasing KOMs and running red lights. For What???
I like that you are aware that his ego got the best of him and he made a bad choice. Also, not the best to reinforce cyclists making crazy moves around cars and adding to why they dislike us on the roads.
How old was this guy? We all have taken stupid risks when we were younger and full of testosterone, however as you correctly state, it has consequences which that may be fatal or scar you for life.
@10:28 'Downhill Flex' - Nice :) Great vid and great advice guys!! BTW, there is one other alternative. He may be a bit of an adrenaline junkie. Could have been testing himself and getting a buzz.
I Am A rookie, I Am trying to learn some stuff about Road Bikes, as I have mention before I ride MTB. Some of the phrases you are saying I have no clue what they mean, maybe you could put it in text on the screen for us beginners? Thanks.
Sitting on: riding close to your back wheel to get towed by your draught. Half wheeling: riding beside you but half a wheel length ahead. As you pull level they go faster. Before long you are racing. Anything else?
@@jonmaloneycycling7593 just trying to learn the Lingo, because if i ride with some one and they say something to me " Rode Bike " Lingo, I need to learn what it means. Like in MTB we have our Lingo like OTB Over The Bars. I want to do both ride MTB and Road Bike, So what ever you can teach us Rookies.
@@Iseekoutthetrails If you go OTB on a road bike you're not going to talking about it for a while :-) Keep asking. Some lingo transfers. A bunny hop is still a bunny hop. Some is obvious. Some things have multiple names, eg Sit on = Draughting = Getting a tow = Following a wheel
I ride bikes. I drive cars. I do not feel the need to post videos of bad driving. Neither do I feel that every bad driver impacts or defines me as a driver. Same for cycling. Move on.
@@brettsta72 Why are you here? Based on an article I read some time ago, I learned that most people in vehicles see cyclist as less than human because of the actions of many but not all cyclists. If you came here to assert dominance or tell someone what to do because you feel smarter than them somehow, find a comment section who cares. Jon is just trying to keep us safe by sharing an experience. If you have nothing valuable to share then go to a porter potty and drop comments there.
10:00 "I think the most important thing to take away from this... us as cyclists we got nothing to prove to eachother" That while showing SAFA trying to smash strava records, i.e. LITERALLY trying to prove something. But he's awesome in your book. Oh the hipocrisy.
djee... Making a youtube vid out of something like this... It's bad what he does but to make a full vid with the 2 of you, while you keep repeating the same... Let the guy do dangerous things, his risk, his reward or accident. I wouldn't care less. ps: the pick-up braked because of the slow car in front. He could even be annoyed and honking at the car (as in: if even a cyclists passes you, why don't you go faster). You think Safa is awesome, and while some of his rides are truly awesome, he has footage on his channel that's 10 times more stupid than what you showed in the clip above. Double standards pretty much.
