Well managed 2 mins before wanting to hit the annoying prick. Yep poor choice of road to cycle on but it did lookalike as it was built unit should be a 40 zone or something.
As the vid went on I was willing him to hip the traffic islands as he mocked the cars.
Woa! I was only trying to stop more of you fuds getting hit by a car. I don’t think its right to wish someone harm just for voicing their opinion.
Martinhurton – What traffic laws were being broken? Filtering? Thats not illegal in the UK ya tool.
in the 2 mins I saw overtaking into oncoming traffic, riding through the hashed areas far too close to traffic islands and BEING A MASSIVE COCK.
The cyclist was looking where he was going riding on a road in good visibility. The guy on the motorbike was too obsessed by what everyone else was driving to pay proper attention. Giving a running commentary of how AWESOME he was and how pathetic the rest of the world must be.
Then again, you wouldn’t see me driving a motorbike like a complete and utter arse whilst verbalising my superiority complex into a microphone.
Does he post that shit up regularly then ? Why ? Very very boring, other than as a study of how owning a quick and manouvreable vehicle turns you into an utter ****
Always a good one, hopefully an open minded one where we can accept that being on a bike and using it responsibly are not the same thing. Wouldn’t want to turn into Motor Cycle News would we.
Also only made it to 2 minutes. He was being ironic surely – the bit about choosing the safe option followed immediately by dangerous and illegal riding….he was having a wind up, no one could be that stupid?
I’ve just re watched the first two minutes. Apart from filtering (sometimes on the hatching, this is still filtering) and giving the thumbs up to the guy in the TT what trafic violations is there? Overtaking towards oncoming traffic? Thats filtering. I’m sure I’ve seen cyclists do similar things.

As is filteringriding like a cock within the markings at a crossing that prohibit doing so
just too the left of this section of road is a seperate caraigeway, with hardly any traffic. It runs for about a mile, and is easy to get on and off of.
given the option of 50mph, 3 lane a road, or a empty road next to it, I know where i’d be.

I probably would, if I new it was there, and where it went and that it was clear and not full of chelsea tractors and idiots (but we can’t see the future)
I also know that the bike has every right to be there (right does not make it sensible) but as he had reasonable road position was dressed appropriately and riding along fine on a 3 lane road with 2 whole other lanes to pass properly in I can’t see a major issue. Also if he put a bit of effort in he could be up to at least 40mph…
To add he wasn’t being a sanctimonious prick …

Exactly. On the commute to my previous job I had exactly the same choice. Guess where I chose to cycle. Frankly cycling on a fast 3 lane road when you have a choice of an empty road next to it does mean you are an idiot. The motorcyclist does come across as a knob but that doesn’t change the fact the cyclist is an idiot.
“Good example there, of uh, when you’re trying to overtake someone filtering. I didn’t want to squeeze in front of him and overtake him. Coulda done it, but prolly would have pissed him off”
Then he undertook him in the bus lane instead.
Just because you have a social media following, doesn’t mean you’re not a bellend.

The road next to it isn’t empty at all. And looks like an NSL road? Potentially faster than the A3.
Like Mike says, the guy might have no idea where that road goes. Or he might have already travelled 20 miles up the A3 and not see the point in leaving it for a mile. At the end of the day he still has to rejoin it further up. I’m pretty sure most people who cycle on roads like that don’t get a huge amount of enjoyment from it. They do it because their options are limited.
It’s clearly visible on the left, ten feet from the a3. iirc, there are signs directing cyclists this way and you can see up the road for a long, long way.
In the video you can see theres only a couple of cars on it, versus hundreds on the a3.
Now, i’m notgoing to argue he shouldn’t be where he is, or he’s doing anything wrong.
just that i’d be on the quiet, car free road.
edit… Big sign saying it’s a 30mph, and no cars can turn down it at peak times.
I bet the guy on the motorbike is a hit with that ladies though….and a laugh down the pub. I could also imagine his nose is a little crooked or could be at any moment.
