I think this has all the usual hat-stand bonkers views expressed in one neat thread:

John Williams, I imagine (he has a Milan that colour). 'I can't see this brightly coloured thing on the road right in front of me. That I am talking about right now....'. These people presumably don't see road markings either.....?

Yep, it's John. I used to see and chat to him on my commute over the years but not since pre covid.

Against my better judgement I watched the clip.

Now I've got to ask, why was he stopped over the line, and why did he feel it necessary to accelerate at the vehicle and then the pedestrian in front of him?

It's the new Sinclair C5.

er ... no thanks.

How rude! You come into my thread, without so much as a by-your-leave, and then refuse the delightful entertainment laid on for you by my minions?!?

Whatever happened to manners ...

The usual rule you must be in cycle lane (bollocks) and recumbents get squashed all the time (bollocks), can not be seen (bollocks) then being criticised for proceeding on a green light when a load of cars have gone through red.

Like you say thick motorist bingo

Several people asked this - if you skim through the comments you will find the answers 👍

Not that^^^ interested.

I watched the clip. Don't tell me it was Jeremy Vine on the bike - the light has gone green so I'm riding off no matter what is in front of me.

 

[Drago]

...Jeremy Vine...

Sometimes you'd rather someone wasn't on your side.

I used to listen to Radio 2 religiously. For some reason I just can't bear it anymore and probably haven't tuned in for the last 10yrs.....
