Choreography

[benborp]

It is a shame you can not see the poise with which the cycle was held on one wheel before being delicately transferred into a sideways drift. This I feel is the best of my recent efforts and think I will be hard pushed to create better...

Did you get any sort of appology from him ?

 

[redjedi]

oooo....close call.

Did the driver even apologise?

edit: beaten to it ^^^

 

[Wigsie]

Jesus! pat yourself on the back for some well controlled evasive action! that and keeping calm and not kicking the window and door in simulating what 'could have happened'... I am sure many on here may have stopped to have a word or two...

 

[ianrauk]

Blimey that was nasty

 

[nilling]

No indication and by the looks of it they where parked on the zig-zag line of the crossing...I'd be having words, but at that time of night better to get home. Glad your ok could have been nasty

 

[bonj2]

why didn't you just go to the left of him like that other cyclist did?

 

[benborp]

Maybe it's because it wouldn't make such good video...

i know that in retrospect it's easy to judge these things, but why didn't you just veer slightly to the left and pass the car?

I'm starting to believe that sometimes helmet cams seriously impair people's judgement.

Ben

We'll need to re-shoot that scene tomorrow because of some problems in post-production.

 

[benborp]

Micraman isn't available, we'll have to get someone else in. Do you want to teach an peanut a lesson or just pillory a numptie?

Eh? I dont know OP but are you suggesting he swerved right and not left to make a decent video?

i'm saying it was a strange decision, seemed more unsafe than the other options (stop, or go left).

Sorry, the distributors don't do porno.

For the record I thought it was a tidy piece of riding. Did he hit the car? No. At the time, ben wouldn't have known whether the car was going to stop, carry on or whatever.

Remember the benefits of hindsight people!
