This guy in glasses is a knob. Why cycle in the middle of the road?!

I think that there are some poor drivers out there, but cycling with a camera making youtube videos is a sign of a middle aged man who hasn't had sex for far too long. What a muppet banging on windows.

Most of them on this programme are coming across as *****!
my worst was being cut off by 4x4 on a roundabout on a wet day..she decided to overtake and go in front of me...I thought I will get heart attack..
A lot of what ?
Are you a cyclist that runs red lights, squeezes in silly gaps ans slaps cars or are you a driver that cuts up cyclists, drives too close and has little regard for others' safety ??

rofl
no red lights for me, I always stop( I go on to pedestrians paths if they have green light)
but cars overtaking and coming in front is on daily basis. have to say I am scared of big lorries overtaking especially when no cycle paths...
and am not trying to pass buses when stationary on lights.too big for me and as a driver I know they wont see me...

ill be honest here, i do run red lights
no junctions etc just crossings when they are empty, but that still counts as running red lights.silly gaps no i do like to have some space
i see a lot of cyclists do it and in slow moving traffic that is ok i guess.never slapped a car yet
shaking my head and looking straight into eyes if i manage to catch up with the driver does the job not one to argue a lot and manage to control my self very well.happened last week! the guy looked sorry when he finally noticed me! he was standing still and just out of nowhere accelerated and cut me off so bad i thought ill crash into the side of his car, but yeah eye contact was made and i think he got the idea that checking mirrors is a good thing!
last week i saw a driver in central london(loads cyclists) with a folded mirror.. i mean just HOW stupid do you have to be to drive like that? i couldn't do much about it obviously

It is pretty retarded to undertake a lorry that is indicating to turn left. Why can't they just wait behind it?
I am genuinly suprised that only 175 (ish) cyclists died last year - I was expecting the numbers to be more like a 2000.

Dare i say it
Majority of these idiots are "commuters" people who use it as a method of transport to casually get to work rather than a keen "cyclist" who rides sportives or with clubs etc
i strongly believe there should be some sort of certificate/license to cycle on the road.
at moment any joe blogs can jump on a bike and tear up the streets

I stopped watching after 10 mins. Jesus wept. Cringeworthy television.
