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

    You’re quite right, sorry I mistook the brake lights for an indicator. Carry on 😀

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 Sandwich board )
