The video is a bit of a long one so it might not be up till later.

I thought at first you must have been in the car, I am really impressed with how your cycling is improving, unless it was a steep downhill?

Nope. Just long and flat. I think I had a gentle tailwind but I certainly wasnt hanging around.
My fitness has really improved over the summer, I have been pushing on Strava segments which I think has helped.

As others have said, the Highway Code bit is brilliant.

I carry printouts of the code in my saddlebag just incase I am knocked off and it might be needed. However, in the year that I have had it there, this is the one time that I have used it to good effort.

Nothing like a cup of smugness when you can point people at paperwork to prove them completely wrong.

...you ever give any positive feedback to roadusers, Matthew? Bent Mike takes choco boxes to bus garages, for example...[/quote]
Of course. Look at my twitter feed, I am tagging companies in my Patience videos all the time. I do praise good driving.
The bus company in question has always been very good when it comes to driving. They are always patient and give me plenty of room when overtaking. I dont know what rattled this guys cage but he seemed to be out for me. It just takes one driver to bring down the company.
LET ME CLARIFY: I am not putting the company in bad rep. I am not listing the company name in the video. This is because the company in general are very good and I dont want one drivers actions to cause dispute within said company. I have made a complaint and will go down the companies route, instead of the police or other authorities.
The driver was the problem, not the company.

[QUOTE 2612443, member: 1314"]Let's wait for the video then...
...you say you're editing a long video. Why not just post the bits of you overtaking, him over-taking, and then that bit where you point at your camera. That shouldn't take long...[/quote]
Thats pretty much it. Although the convo after took longer than I thought. Apparently it will be up in three hours. So I suggest you take a look tomorrow.
