This guy's been known as a tw*t for many, many, years. He upset most of the people in the wine trade about 10 years ago. Just ignore him. He'll go away.....

That public information film was hilarious! Thanks for finding it.

A lot of stuff Nigel Havers said is TRUE and he has only typified the typical motorists attitude towards cyclists.

What he says about cyclists is in most cases correct so I couldn't actually get the hump with what he said.

Looks like we are all tarred with the same brush.

The riding in that clip isn't "typical" in my experience.

 

[hackbike 6]

It is in my experience.That is the god's honest truth.

 

[spindrift]

I think if it was typical then the stats on "at fault" cyclist RTAs would be far higher than they are now.

It is in my experience.That is the god's honest truth.

And TBH, I see a fair few myself.

I think if it was typical then the stats on "at fault" cyclist RTAs would be far higher than they are now.

What you have failed to grasp is, Mr. Havers was on an amusing light entertainment programme making a fairly accurate generalisation about the 'potential' danger that bad cycling represents and not 'how awful it is that cyclists 'cause' so many accidents'.

The riding in that clip isn't "typical" in my experience.

did you not see the clip i put up yesterday of some women doing exactly the same thing. (ok i know its not typical as such, but does happen) Met Havers in Barns once, seemed ok. I was nt not on a bike though

Why the bloody hell do you want stats when I have actually told you in my unbiased opinion of what I see on the roads week in week out?

What are the stats for RTA's with mobile phone use and RLJers but they do happen occasionally.

What did I see yesterday oh yes one RLJer who also rode up the pavement something else as well but I've forgotten now as I was to busy flying over the handlebars again yesterday afternoon,also a Brompton rider who undertook me on the cycle lane leading up to Waterloo leading me to track him down to the train he was catching and 'have a few words'.

I'll give it to the brompton rider person though discussed it but it didn't get abusive,he apologized and I said how it startled me as I was riding up to Waterloo in the 'down' cycle lane to give the pregnant woman who was walking on the very narrow pavement bit a wide berth...seems like mr brompton didn't do the same,almost leading to a collision.

Noticed a few cyclists without lights tonight.Now I wonder why we have a poor reputation?

BTW mr spindrift,Nigel Havers attitude is the attitude a lot of motorists 'seem' to have out there.

The two actions in the clip didn't even include pavement cycling or RLjing!

they were clearly untypical, over-stated numpty riding. Sure, I see 'em.

They are not typical.

 

[BentMikey]

They are not that atypical either. A decent number of cyclists I see cycle with that sort of behaviour, though admittedly they are in a minority.
