[Closed] I'm tense!! (Commute content)

Okay you are an idiot.

Thanks! 😉

Look again - he only switches his indicator on as I reach him.

I think there's a fine line between determined and rather over enthusiastic.

I might open my eyes on that bit tomorrow

I see people riding like you on my commute home every night usually slow unfit riders desperate to make up time any way they can. They always jump to the front of the queue at lights and set off very, very slowly.

I smell a rat
and it smells troll-shaped

that original incident would have scared me but probably not as much as following you would have
I would dithc the headcam as I cannot see it being much use in your defence moore incriminating evidence
😉

I think brakes has it right. Sorry I didn't realise I was

[i]trolling
buy trolling mugs, tshirts and magnets
Trolling is the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet, generally on message boards. When done in a moderated internet community, this can result in banning. When done to uptight people such as fundies, this can result in hilarity.[/i]

with the 2nd video..

Does that mean we are cycling fundies?

TBH, trolling or not, I'm just a bit meh about this.

So long as I'm not riding with you/the rider from the vids, then I reckon I've got more chance of making it alive through my commutes.

It's not really antagonising though as I thought you were an idiot before and this has just reinforced my opinion.

I still think you could have bunny hopped the white BMW.

lol or undercut him 😉

fakie bunnyhop to toe-tap to 360 double tail whip to faceplant to emergency room would be impressive

[i]meh[/i] Me too omitn.

It's not actually as bad as it looks, but I enjoyed the reactions.

Update: Popped a note into Fitness First, whose sandwich board it is. Still from the video and a note explaining.

What's the speed limit on that section of road?

We're not really going to try the "it's your fault for breaking the speed limit"?
Limit is 40, wish I could go that fast!

No not at all, was wondering as it looks like a main-ish road with a somewhat concealed entrance.

If there is nothing behind when approaching that sort of situation I always pull further into the centre of the road to give the car a better chance of seeing me. If there is a car/van/wagon behind me they useually see that and don't pull out.
I know the driver should be more observant but its our lives.

I don't ride on the road but I'd have thought that was a regular occurrence

Which is why I don't ride on the road

The driver was observant enough, considerinng the board was in his line of vision.
It isn't really possible to know if anything is approaching from behind.

It wasn't a major deal, just shit me up at the time.

More to the point, were there any fitties in Fitness First?

It wasn't a major deal

Until you posted it on STW.

IT IS A MAJOR DEAL NOW SONNY JIM! 😉

one time i was cycling back to devizes on the main beckhampton/devizes road.as i was riding,i could see a car coming towards me going for an overtake.he proceeded to overtake the car past me as if i wasn't there (doing at least 60+ m.p.h).

Funnily enough, the girl on reception was blimmin gorgeous. I'm sure she was well impressed by a sweaty cyclist moaning about her sandwich board (and I don't mean her [i]Sandwich board[/i] )
