[Closed] Remember that 'Van driver tries to hit cyclist thread' from last week?

thats quite amusing, what a cock

LOL - every time he has a point to prove someone will surely shoot him down with a link to that video! I'd be too embarassed to publish that one....

I know he's a cyclist... but I found this really quite funny!

hahahahahahahahahha

gotta love how far the fall from the high horse is

I don't think he understands that cars do get in the way and you sometimes have to accept that they don't understand cyclists

Sorry, but I lol'd. Prat!
Had a look at his video channel, im now convinced he's hampshire's answer to SFB!

HAHAHAHAHA. i should't have found that funny but i did.

he gives us a bad name me thinks.

nob!

Someone should point out to him before he gets killed that even though there's a cycle lane never ever go down the inside of a lorry. Especially when there’s a left turn ahead. He needs to go back and redo his cycling proficiency test.

I agree with highclimber all the people he pisses off must think all cyclist are the same. As said above some drivers just don't understand cyclist.

Just watched another of his vids of him cycling around a ridiculous junction, nearly gets taken out by a bus. Turns out he was only going for a maccies!

i think he should put the camera away for a while

he tried to go thru the drive thru on his bike and had a go at the manager for not allowing cycles to use it!

i thought that was going to be a video of him getting hit by the truck, seemed so obviously risky it's a difficult to work out how he's managed to live this long!
as for paying so much attention to drivers of stationary cars using their phones that you crash - what a bell end!!
hope the driver of the car he hit sues him for whiplash!!!

I take it i'm not alone in thinking high and mighty commuter heroes are tools.

I could have lamped the bloke who decided it was a good idea to cross the road in front of a big motorbike this morning. Lad on big touring motorbike was lucky he managed to stop safely.

I was within a few feet of him for about a mile this morning.. very little regard for his safety, or anyone elses.
Just plain selfish, as bad as the crap car drivers.

PMSL, bulb end!

What a sad life he must have to get helmet cam footage of a road ride, i bet his evenings fly by.

I've been served at a McDonalds drive thru before. The window attendant said he isn't sure if he's allowed so asked his manger. The manger took one look at us, laughed as we were totally covered in mud and said serve them 😀

I would be very carefull with the trucks, they scare the crap out of me.

I think he doesn't get much sex and gets his kicks from playing chicken with large vehicles and causing arguments with people. Sad Man

I thought he was aggrieved in the first thread, but that one shows him to be a bit of a tool - if you go looking for bad drivers, they're not hard to find

That is amazing. What a cock!

If he was flying down an Alp or something i could understand the helmet cam, but he seems to like filming on busy roads whilst looking for some aggro. Hope he wasn't too badly hurt but he deserves a bit of gravel rash for being a complete cock jockey.

I can never understand this 'will give us all a bad name' nonsense. My daily commute has taught me car drivers appear to hate other car drivers, van drivers, taxis, lorry drivers, bus drivers, cyclists, motorcyclists, horse riders, pedestrians and some seem to hate 999 vehicles! The chap in the vid would be a cock end regardless of whatever cause he decided to champion, not because he is a cyclist, just because he is a cock end. Seems like natural slection may cure of this one in the end though...

Excellent irony there

that is funny as f&%k.

i stuck up for him last time but after this i agree the guy is a complete ****t

it's really naughty to use your phone whilst on the road because it means you can't pay proper attention to your suroundings...... 😆

+1

We once got turned away from the drive thru at Mcdonalds on our bikes. So, we wheeled the bikes inside. never been turned down at the drive thru since. It was very muddy that day!

Oh yeah, the vid. Knob!

Well, that's twice we've seen vid of him getting into situations he could have avoided. No roadcraft whatsoever and a disaster waiting to happen.Going down the inside of lorries is madness - he can't see the road ahead,especially the junction. Nor can he be 100% sure that neither of the lorries is going to make a left turn 🙁 Nutter!

Hahaha! I missed last weeks and now the video is gone. But that one was funny as hell.

Hahaha! I missed last weeks and now the video is gone.

He said he'd reported it to police so I'm guessing he's been advised to remove it whilst action is pending.

Basically a van pulled out on him from a junction on left, causing him to brake.

He thumped on the back of it. Driver who reacted by shouting back, slowing, attempting to force him into the kerb and then throws a plastic bottle at him..

AFter watchign some videos ive ridden a few of the roads/jucntions in question and clearly live pretty close to this guy but ive never seen him out and about!

The roundabout hes going round though, is totally ****ing stupid. I rode around it once when it was very very quiet in the evening and even that was a stupid thing to do. You always get slow moving traffic in the middle lanes and car trying to zoom up the inside/outside to get one car lengths forward. I wouldnt say what that bus did was good driving though! Given there is a bridge about 500 metres away that is traffic free (other than for cyclists and the occasional moped) i dont know why anyone would use that roundabout!

The worst thign is ive seen slower and less confident riders ride it.

how has he managed that?
the car in front of the guy on the phone didnt exactly jump out of nowhere.

while roadies tend to be "super fit VO2 to the MAX" they really can be inept at bike handling and general coordination.

yesiamtom, i know that roundabout too, having ridden it a couple of times at rush hour. If i'd known there was an alternative i'd have happily taken it. Its truely scary riding a bike in the correct middle lane at 17:30 on a weekday in the dark!

Going to be honest- that guy needs lessons on how to commute.

From the start- undertaking those lorries. I just wouldnt do that full stop.

Secondly hes going a fair rate when he comes out from the second lorry and theres a junction there- imagine driving across and this cyclist just suddenly pops out infront of you.

I always try to overtake slow moving or stationary traffic.

I haven't even got to the next bit. He really needs to learn how to ride in traffic. Does anyone know him?

Had a look at his video channel, im now convinced he's hampshire's answer to SFB!

He seems like a complete knob.

I winced when he went on the inside of that big truck ......

The reason he crashes is because he turns his head, I assume so he can express his displeasure at the car (slightly) blocking the cycle lane

I was like this when I started bike commuting 15+ years ago. It takes a few years to get off your high horse and go with the flow just expecting drivers to always do stupid things. There really is no nead to get so worked up about it.

Bloody cyclists

I would have gone down the right, but it looks narrow and I'm sure you would get alot of abuse from drivers telling you to use the cycle lane.

If there's room I'd ride down that cycle lane. It is what it's there for. No junctions for the lorries to turn down and let's face it, the twonk with the helmet cam knows those road a little better than you do.

And I for one, commute (in that same area in that sort of traffic) SO I DON'T HAVE TO SIT BEHIND THE TRAFFIC. Otherwise I might as well drive.

I guess he's trying to be some kind of road warrior highlighting the poor cycle lanes in Hampshire. Which he is doing in a way.
But he's also showing himself to be a right pillock.
Did laugh when he hit the car.

When was the last time you rode in Gosport?
