London Cyclists Compilation 

+atkolad this guy think they're driving a car or something LOL

+atkolad Whilst I don't agree with the uploader's riding either, what he clearly meant was the cyclist moved to the right without shoulder checking. Indicating isn't necessary, but the same applies to a motorcycle; if you're going to veer suddenly left or right, you need to check first. However like I said, I don't like the way the uploader rides. He passes people way too close, he could have given her way more room before overtaking.

Will Davis cyclists are unstable and will go around obstacles and hazards in the road. No training means you could be approaching a learner and not know it

awhatzable Well you should indicate on a bike when you are turning but not on a simple surved street only at intersections and so on

Forever Computing Ikr sorry for late reply. I just think its baffling that cyclists hate being passed closely but they're all too happy to do it to other cyclists and vehicles.

I'm glad I managed to finally clarify that one for you.

LONDON ROADS ARE SOOOOO TINY THE LOOK MORE LIKE FOOTPATH'S

A&E won't kiss it better

+Wuthie Well the cyclist should've left a car wide gap whilst overtaking.

+Mycll d.D I was going to post the same, it's the same piece of road and there are no other alternative routes so no need to signal.

Suggestion for cycle accessory manufacturers: flashing indicators for bicycles. Like motorcycles have. It would make it easier to signal a manouvre without having to stick an arm out. Powered by batteries like lights. Shouldn't be difficult.

LONDON ROADS ARE SOOOOO TINY THE LOOK MORE LIKE FOOTPATH'S

"Cyclist passing very close to other, leisurely riding cyclist, with plenty of spare room on the right side, whilst criticizing her for turning right at the corner."

How dare she follow the bend of the road 😂😂

Nope, I was doing it correctly.

***** agree, last time i use a car and i had this cyclist behind me who was going left and right. it was specially annoying when i had an obstacle infront of me and had to check every mirror and corner where that guy was. 3:05 part is just crazy. why not stay behind the bus?

+Jay Taylor Yes, my father teach me how to cycle in the road, was simple: Keep left

***** Yeah, today it's hard cycle in big cities for assholes in the road.

+Harry M Idiots are not restricted to cars, plenty of assholes on bikes, motorcycles, cars, buses, trucks etc etc.

Yes they do, as anyone driving a 10 ton bus should have to

yeah i thought that was insane how they were getting so close

+11thDoctor's Companion possible... but what's the alternative? taking public transport is a slow and painful death.

+11thDoctor's Companion If riding in london were a woman, I'd say she looks a bag of Nails. I'm from Brisbane, we have bikeways, and some better (not many) than Netherlands cities.. Built for speed : )

11thDoctor's Companion same

following the road around is fine. but if you notice after I´m overtaking her and she just came on top of me, she was going towards the pavement probably to stop... do you have a license mate... you should always indicate and check behind you before going left or right.

Silvio Diego You are off your head. She came on top of YOU? You shot up behind her and she was so busy checking out WTF you were up to that she wobbled a bit. She is clearly unsure of your intentions and no wonder with you being so bloody close you passed her within INCHES - she is clearly NOT stopping at the kerb. To repeat as you seem to not quite get this. SHE DOES NOT TURN! SHE FOLLOWS THE ROAD AROUND! There is ZERO need for her to check behind because she is not moving out of lane or across her lane unexpectedly.

makeminea99 I agree with you, she was in the right her. You were wrong to fly up and almost hit her. Plus i notice that you didn't check behind you either, your helmet cam shows what you're looking at and you didn't once look around to check that an overtake was safe.

joshmcculloch09 I think you got a fair point saying that I didn't do a shoulder check either... I think I should have over taken her with a lot more space, instead I chose not to look and do a close pass which it didn't go too well as she suddenly swerved into me...

Silvio Diego Cool man, i just think that lots of cyclists, me TOTALLY included, get caught up in the moment. Kinda overlooking how they themselves could have behaved differently to prevent it. Blaming other people first instead of being like "hey maybe next time i should be cycling a little slower round that corner" or whatever. You know what i mean?

+aloui Mohamed habib That about sums London up, so the most logical answer is its not worth the risk, but the knobs at city hall seem intent that rather than get the cyclist off the road because it's just too dangerous , no, we should get cars and lorries off the road and encourage more people to cycle . So when the cyclist gets to their office and there's milk for tea and no bread for toast, and all the cafes don't have no eggs milk bread , they won't have their breakfasts ,. Lorries are crucial for any city to keep the economy moving ,. What the fuck does a cyclist contribute ? And as for pollution what's best ? 1 bus of 50 people or 50 cyclist running around like gnats

Mark C I think you lack the basic understanding here. More cyclists in DEDICATED bike lanes means less people in cars. Less people in cars makes it easier and quicker for deliveries to arrive. Its a relative. In response to your question a diesel bus carrying 50 people is way dirtier than 50 cyclists. An electric bus however... That's a different story...

Mark C I agree buses and trucks are the most important but one cyclists takes up a lot less space to a 1 ton car so it would actually help

Cyclists are not perfect in London

You're not allowed to park on them. They're there so cars can see the pedestrians waiting and vice versa. Plenty of people park on them anyway though...

+Llama Phillistine I suspect you did not mean that as a compliment, but to be honest seeing myself riding badly makes me reflect on my own riding as well. So still think is a really educational exercise for me and other to upload my clips.

Silvio Diego I meant your videos are positively instructive. Many times when we ride we just get carried away without realising how obnoxious we can be, so looking at how other cyclists (those you filmed) behave is enlightening.

***** Thanks again for further explaining.

Tony Hickson it has been removed

average speed limit is about 40MPH, now on most areas of the city the Max speed limit is 20MPH.

fine! but I suspect she had no insurance.

definitely no insurance or road tax lol

Exactly. She wasn't turning right, she was following the road.

care to tell me which part of the clip you're referring to? If you could write 0:50 for example that would be great.

I'm sure he was ordering pizza...so it's ok. Highway Code rule 91224 states: When cycling it is permitted to use a mobile phone to order a pizza. This rule also applies to ordering online whilst cycling. Know the law people!!

+rob gamer 0:59 it turns yellow as the camera faces away from it, I should wait till green is on to start but I have a huge impatient bus behind me so start riding on yellow. 3:29 I'm criticizing the lady who crosses the road without green man and without looking. I do have a green light.

yeah i agree on the 3:29 i was just using that as an example as its the same lights showing the green sorry for not being clear.

even slowed down to maaaaaaaaaam

you're the first one to mention this.... 'Sarcasm off' - check the comments is being discussed many times.

Well, I guess it's a little complicated for someone who doesn't understand the difference between 'your' and 'you're'. Let me explain; when a car goes past it is moving, thus it is dangerous and cyclists don't want it to be too close to them. However when a car is sat in traffic it is not moving, therefore it is of limited threat; even if it moves suddenly it won't be close to as dangerous as a car that is already up to speed. So, to sum it up for you - big mettle boxes on wheels are disliked by people without big metal boxes of their own when said boxes are moving fast enough to kill them. Understand?

I'm sure you mean, not moving and not NO moving but hey guess we all make mistakes. In reply the commen about big metal boxes......hmm where to begin.....fuck it I'll put it like this . METAL BOXES ARE EXPENSIVE and can be damaged by idiots riding little bikes near them but if cyclists don't mind coming up so damm close to us motorists (at speed) then when the car starts to move the cyclist should not get upset and try to hit the big metal box with wheels.......UNDERSTAND.

Guess you mean comment, not commen. You're right, we all make mistakes. Guess my comment was a little aggressive, I work as a cycle courier so I tend to react a little harshly to car drivers giving cyclists grief. I think you have a point, but as with everything it's about a middle ground. A driver needs to give space to a cyclist when he's going as speed, that's just a fact. As for static traffic, sometimes cyclists filter when they shouldn't and end up putting themselves in stupid places where they either endanger themselves or just irritate everyone else on the road. However a lot of the time it is much safer for a cyclist to be at the front of a line of traffic, so he doesn't get side swiped by someone turning left. It's a common occurrence that a car will overtake me, then stop at a traffic light with a cycle bay at the front, however the car will be so close to the curb I can't get past.

agreed. I am a professional driver for the elderly and people with disabilities and I almost always give way to cyclists even if the run the red lights and nearly hit the car. I had a cyclist go into the back of my personal car a couple weeks ago and cause 750 pounds worth of damage . He came from the opposite side of the road to oncoming traffic and swerved behind me and in doing so cut up a taxi that was also behind me . He didn't realise the light in front was red and I had stopped . the impact was that harsh I thought the cab had hit me as I got out the car I then saw the cyclist on the floor and I realised he hit me. needless to say I was very angry but he paid up .

without looking none! on a red there have been a few occasions where it was either silly or I felt safer breaking the law.

Silvio Diego how can it be safer to break the law? Surely the law is there to "protect" you and those around you. If a motorist broke the law and claimed they felt safer, they would be torn apart by the cycling fraternity.

Slavery was allowed by law years ago, that did not make it right. Assuming that all of our laws are not to be discussed or challenged is wrong.

What a ridiculous comment. If you choose to disobey the law then you roll the dice and take your chances. Its time that all cyclists had some form of registration to identify them. If you are involved in an RTA with a vehicle or worse still a pedestrian, there is nothing to stop you simply riding away. I'm currently talking to my MP about this as I believe it makes sense.

Jim Goodwin I tell you that our laws should be discuss and challenged and you tell me 'you choose to disobey the law'? Do you see me disobeying the law on this video? I stay at the lights every time, but if we can have a logical conversation then I will admit that many times cyclists who jump the lights are a lot safer than me because I have an impatient driver right behind me willing to do anything to overtake me even if there's no space. Those are facts and it shows that the law is not there to protect cyclists at the moment.

+allan gill there are no laws that make it compulsory for cyclists to wear a helmet. Are you from Australia? I know they have helmet laws for cyclists in there.

+Silvio Diego Yep, I'm a fair dinkum aussie. Thank for the reply.

+allan gill helmet laws are a liberal sickness

+kachulandia Asi es! Emepzé a filmar mis trayectos luego de que me chocara un auto en el 2011. Veo que tenes un canal con videos de bici, le voy a hechar una mirada!

Tengo otro canal que es solo de MTB pero lo estoy armando ya que tengo videos por otros medios. Cuando lo tenga armado te agrego. El canal se llama FULLMTB Saludos

I know now, but didn't know a year ago :-) Look at the compilation I uploaded today is quite the opposite of repeat slow-mo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wKOLc7UAbJw.html

well spotted, we possibly can build a collection of this guy.

+elgransick the nightmare are the motor vehicles drivers, if we had more cyclists it would be heaven.

+Julian Frazer is called sarcasm my dear friend! You do know that road tax was abolished years ago right?

The purpose is getting people to write witty comments, such as yours.

@@SilvioDiego well done

🤣

@@SilvioDiego And why you go on red? You are also naughty. Bot you do not see it :/...

+Timothy Fish same here... with pedestrians whatever the circumstances you're at fault.. unless you can prove that they purposelessly jumped into your path I'm hoping these pedestrians laws will be extended to cyclists as we're also vulnerable road users.

***** some pedestrians are a bit reckless too, yet I do not think laws to protect them should be cancelled.

+Timothy Fish Lane splitting/filtering is completely legal on a motorbike over here, so I am pretty sure it is the same with a bicycle.

Timothy Fish some states don't allow red light right turns. Some states allow lane splitting.

I was thinking just that, somehow I find myself looking at cycling vids (sad) and 99% are just a mish mash of horrible motorists. For my sins I've stumled on a poster called 'cyclingmikey' a man on a lie down pedal Sinclair C5. Mow that's bias

John Newton Ah yes. Cyclingmikey. The man is an idiot. If you watch his videos he engineers a lot of the "close calls" yet he believes he is the oracle of road safety. I can't imagine what his motivation is other than having something to post on youtube. Someone will wallop him one day and in all likelihood he would have deserved it. I don't have a problem with cyclists overall as I cycle myself although not that often now. Its the ones like him that feed this us and them attitude on the road.

Advisory in daylight.

I have a bell but is quite pathetic no one can hear it.

Check out the HornIT bike horn, it's reputed to be the world's loudest bike horn and has saved my bacon a few times.

thanks for your comment! My understanding was that you cannot overtake 'any' cars when they're 'zig-zag' lines. Are you referring to those? I do overtake other vehicles because the highway code says do not overtake but does not mention anything about 'not filtering'.... Trying to understand this better, and no one has been able to confirm if you're not supposed to filter either.

Rule 191 of the highway code (UK) - You MUST NOT park on a crossing or in the area covered by the zig-zag lines. You MUST NOT overtake the moving vehicle nearest the crossing or the vehicle nearest the crossing which has stopped to give way to pedestrians. the zig zags are just for parking to keep the view of the crossing clear. My understanding with filtering is that it would be regarded the same as overtaking in this scenario. If you do hit a pedestrian who is crossing - albeit even on a red man, I think you would be held fully/ mostly responsible.

oh also - because the highway code wording is "MUST NOT", this means it is written in legislation and is a road traffic offence - I'm a motorcycle rider (rule 191 is applicable to all road users) and I try and get around this by stopping alongside the front vehicle and pushing my bike gently slightly infront of them. Think the main thing is to make sure you don't hit anything at a pedestrian crossing :)

hey thanks for the thorough explanation, much appreciated.

+Bruce Cheng I'm waiting for some brave RU-vid admin to make it illegal to make comments as dumb as yours.

is a two way road and she started squeezing to the right side of the road.

ah, ok, you meant after the curve. Fine.

Er.. *far, but i guess fart works too!

being allowed to do something does not mean is a smart thing to do.

I said 'ma'am' ... is a term of respectful or polite address used for a woman.

+WarthDader74 what can I say... the subconscious is a powerful thing

Welcome to the channel!

+dXb I do have a car and driver's license and you're right like many other drivers I do not fully know the traffic rules.

+dXb What he did wrong.. ? Lane splitting is perfectly legal where he lives.

+Kuhaku Did I say anything about lane splitting? I think I did not.

+Silvio Diego 1:07 She was not turning. It's *one* lane. That road only goes right. Shoulder check and indicating? What for? Are you ill? 1:55 Where you call the bus driver "impatient", you actually cut him off because *YOU* are impatient to let him pass on his own lane. You cyclists expect the whole world going your speed. You also keep overtaking on left, which is only permitted if the vehicle in front is signalling to turn right, and there is space to do so.
