By the of this clip I was so angry - I actually wanted one of them to be smeared over the front of a car.

That's been posted quite a few times, I think there's an equally infuriating courier vid set in NY.

I don't agree with you on skill, as I have said a few times, it doesn't take skill to ride dangerously up small gaps.

I left various comments on this over the year etc - people spouting that "It's their job, they need to ride like that", without actually relising they aren't working - dumbasses.

"mad skill", anyone can cycle dangerously up small gaps. I guess we all have mad skills until we die?

OMG LOOK AT THAT OLD MAN IN WELLIES MAD SKILLZ YO!

Sorry, didn't realise it had already been done to death.

Without looking at the Vid, I presume this is the Alley Cat race? Envy is one of the seven deadly sins.

Yep that's the one. Great music

Oh I see. Can't watch the vid either, I thought it was something to do with lumberjacks and nifty chainsaw handling...

Believe, to ride like that takes an enormous amount of skill, forward thinking and the ability to read the road very well.

Bullshit.

 

[clarion]

It just takes a lack of imagination of what happens if it goes wrong.

Yes, most of the time it goes wrong for other people, but I'm not peanut enough to ride like that.

This London lot don't impress me. The NY couriers show more skill, riding in more challenging traffic and causing less offence.

 

[zimzum42]

The problem with the London guys is how they annoy some peds towards the end - otherwise it's a cool video and I enjoy doing the odd bit of riding like that, Park Lane when everything is moving along at about 15-20 but the road is full, that's fun...

 

[Trumpettom001]

I'm guilty of posting this also! - the one thing about it is that it does prove that cycling is faster than getting in the car..... (admittedly at the risk of lsing a limb or two)

 

[Jezston]

JESUS.

What a bunch of horrendous f***ing c***s.

I don't see how riding like an absolute selfish, hateful little bastard shows any skill whatsoever.

That bit of the end made me more angry based on the fact that none of them got knocked down or smacked in the face. Seriously, if someone rode past me like that I would push them off.

Wow Lee, you've just completely undermined any credibility you ever had. I'm afraid you are henceforth disallowed from ever criticising anyones riding technique ever again.

Haven't been on here for ages! I'm sure we where talking about this then as well. FWIW I quite enjoy the Brunelle vids. Does that make me a bad person
