Are cyclists the scourge of the streets?

[Slick]

West Midlands Police appear to be using material from stayinaliveat1.5 in Ireland. The folder pulled out has their car sticker on it.

Didn't notice that.

To those that endured the programme, thanks for the feedback. I'll file it under "as I feared."

Hard work watching that.

Having just returned from a mini cycling tour through France , Belgium and NL I can only say driver behaviour over here is very different. Much more volatile, almost as if what folks over the channel cope with every day in their cars without issue, seems way beyond what your average British driver can bear.

One could almost be forgiven for thinking that the UK is a toxic, polluted, doomed, angry little country full of demented half-wits.

Hopefully not doomed.

Isn't it great the amount of comments that argue that they support cycling in general?

This is the polar opposite of the video I watched earlier in Utrecht. Spot the difference.

Early on in his piece, where he says what the folder is.

Chris Boardman's response to this idiotic programme is superb. Apologies I can't figure out how to do links from Twitter - but if you search there you'll find It.

I'm too old to figure this kind of stuff out and if I do, I'll have forgotten again by morning.

@sue perb, which is correct. The piece as given to the camera, you were hit from behind, whilst you were your daughter was on the back, OR, that you were late for work having been hit from behind.

Both have been used, by you, to explain why you started what you do.

It might explain West Midlands Police choice of the 1.5 passing limit though.

Stood out because it's odd to see one over here.
