Just sit down and relax for a bit, no sudden movements. There could be some lasting damage.

Annoyingly Twitter won't let you do anonymous reports, racism really isn't right though. I'd have left him be, the initial message is one that suggests you won't get a sensible reply.
Finally read the whole thread...
Firstly, I thought the programme was ok. It has got people talking about it, which is good. Ive had at least three people at work ask me about it and my views on the behaviour. Where I don’t think they would otherwise have got involved.
However, the programme did put Gaz in a bit of a bad light. The arguing cab driver being in the wrong (imo) and almost talking himself into believing his driving was acceptable was disappointing. I think that will probably go some way to convincing other motorists, who have perhaps been criticised by cyclists before, that their driving standards are perfectly fine, That is slightly worrying.
The inclusion of TheTrafficDriod was a poor choice too IMO, I think the producers just wanted to show that some camera cyclists (which I am one of) are trying a futile vigilante approach to their filming.
I also agree with other reviews that the Messenger Racing clips were also shown, out of context, giving the impression of that style of riding being the norm. I think this was just a short-cut by the film makers to including some evidence of bad cycling that was being referred to throughout the programme.
The programme also missed a trick or two. They could have used the opportunity to show why cyclists ride the way they do, showing the reasons why we do.
Did anyone notice the inclusion of the video showing the large woman being knocked down by the electric bike? I remember when that video was originally posted and it was ripped apart. The rider also registered on here only to be vilified by almost everyone. Proving my point that most cyclists look down on poor cycling just as much as anyone else (if not, more).

There is a HUGE conversation going on about this show, wow. This is what I feel should be said.
We have to blame the people, not the cars, motorbikes or bicycles, it's just the smugness of the person, that is all. I'm pretty laid back on the road and couldn't give a monkeys what cars do 90% of the time. It amazed me that one individual has an infinite amount of "close passes" and what not. It makes you think that the driver and the cyclist have had an argument 2 minutes up the road, then the video cut to where the action happens and blames the other with the "footage". We just all have to get along and not use the camera to make videos just to get a response from other road users. Wear the camera to catch your exciting moments on the road and the speed you reach, the climbs you attack. Don't just think you're wearing cameras on your bike just to catch an argument. Enjoy cycling
I tried watching it. What is the bandana all about?
And I do hope you washed your hands afterwards...

Mr London Cyclist, your posted Youtube clip asked for our views.
I found it hard to watch your monologue with a straight face. That might sound harsh from a friendly and welcoming cyclists' forum, but it is so.
I watched it and thought about it. And thought about it some more. It's a spoof, isn't it?
If it is a spoof, it might be excellent. If it is serious, it might be unexcellent. I really hope it's a spoof.
I cannot watch it without thinking of the West Staines Massif. Sacha Baron Cohen got there first, but you are not without ability.

You (probably) needed a fake machine gun,would probably made people realise easier and take the p155 out of the stupidly titled tv program.
