BBC helmet cam film to explore cyclist-motorist conflict

Oh, I thought one of the cabbies did have a go at that one.

Yeah the blurry faced long haired cabbie mentioned it I think.

London is fine for cycling in. I found the bus lanes a nice touch - full width bike lanes effectively.

I do prefer riding around the rural back roads of Cumbria though. There's less traffic around so I can concentrate on cycling or enjoying the scenery.

Still can't get this on iplayer!

Bit disappointed by the cycle policeman telling the cyclist off for slapping the guy's cab, telling him to get a whistle instead. WTF?

Wont work,nearest I came was fitting a car horn till they called the bomb squad. Quite effective.

Must admit I prefer my 330am commutes,much quieter.

Well done Gaz but shame they didn`t show my interview saying how regretful I was knocking down the pedestrians, but at least the didn`t dwell on my clips which really did no good at all as the couiers racing clip did no good either, the producer rang me a hour before to let me know that my clip of me getting knocked off by the woman driver couldn`t be used for legal reasons.

How many pedestrians have you ran down?

Haha you're a bloody joke. Where am I using the actions of others to justify swearing?

Gaz, I do not support Drago's view, but I do not think you were shown in a totally positive light in the selected edit of the selected clip.

I am absolutely clear that in my opinion your Youtube stuff occupies the higher end of the spectrum and is very helpful and positive.

But I think the image portrayed in the first few minutes was unhelpfully edited at best.

I type this in the secure knowledge that I'm 100+ miles from you as I do so and whilst accepting that at your age I was an occasional irate toucher of other people's paintwork in traffic...

If you are after iplayer rather than the view live bit of iplayer then you could be waiting a couple hours yet.

I'm disappointed, I don't think the edit on my self was a fair reflection on the person I am or the work that I do.
Unfortunately I'm the only one that knows exactly what I said on interviews and I know exactly how they cut things to take them out of context.

I know what you mean

Thanks, just me being impatient!

But you went into this project knowing that this is exactly what would happen right?

We all get our dreams smashed sometimes.

I have been contacted by a Crime programme producer on Sky channel about my video of the guy cutting the corner. Unless I make my opinions clear, they might misquote me as well.

Only the two that were shown

I thought the montage of the participants watching some of the footage used was interesting. It didn't matter whether they were cyclists or motorists, the reactions were the same. Sharp intakes of breath, shakes of the head. I'd say we've got more in common than not? The comment about needing cooperation not confrontation was a good point. Not great in advancing road/cycling safety, but not the car crash I was expecting either.

I think you will find that you hit one (granted she was the size of two).
