chrisjohnyaw doesn't seem to know much, strange how he has commented on that one video.

Yes. I have reason to believe he is the driver.

looks to me that you've got a chip on your shoulder

@gsx1400madboy Is that really how it looks to you, or are you just a First bus driver who doesn't like the evidence that I have presented in some video clips? I actually find that most bus drivers are very courteous and careful. It's just that the exceptions are too many and, I have to say, seem mostly to work for First. If you are one of the many good bus drivers, then perhaps you might want to suggest to the company that they do something about the bad ones that are tarnishing the reputation of your company and its staff.

Are you on some sort of crusade,? I have no doubt that you as a cyclist do feel vulnerable when cycling, i as a motorcyclist, am in a similar situation from time to time. But, i do not find the need to video all and sundry just to prove a point. You videoed a fellow cyclist going through a red light but didnt chase him down like the car drivers and lambast him, which i thought you should do.
Its time you grew up and stopped looking for an excuse to upload clips that infringe on peoples privacy.

@gsx1400madboy Hardly a crusade. I'm just one of the thousands of cyclists who are frustrated by the crap that we get from some motorists and who put evidence of the worst ones on here. One cyclist keeps a list of some of these, here: croydoncyclist.wordpress.com/2­011/02/07/video-camera-cyclist­s/
As far as privacy is concerned, if people are worried about other people seeing seeing their bad driving, then they should start to drive more carefully. Perhaps they should start by reading the highway code.
I'm sorry to say that your comment about growing up is fairly typical of many ignorant motorists who think that putting someone else's life in danger just to get to the next red light a couple of seconds earlier is somehow a trivial matter.

And now for a (possibly) happy one:

Hey mate. Just seen a Lancashire United bus in 'The joy of cycle commuting.' - Where abouts do you live? Trying to recognise the roads if it is in Blackburn area but no luck yet. - Goodluck with the cycling from a car driver. You have tought me to be more conciderate and to pass giving more room - or just hold back till safe to pass.

Could be that he's just trying to find out where I live, mind you, but I'd like to think it's genuine.

Seems gsx1400madboy has the chip on his shoulder, with being a First bus driver, the company that seems to have a reputation for poor driving. Obviously someone complete clueless about privacy and being in a public place, he'll be going on about "road tax" next.


AccyMHS looks genuine but I would find it strange if a very new YouTuber was asking me whereabouts I lived.

I have on persistent person today, posting on an old video of mine:

Description:

• Watch the video properly. You will see the bus joins the roundabout first. Just because another road user can accelerate faster and catch the bus doesn't give them right off way. Very few motorists understand the highway code, especially cyclists.

• The bus was on the roundabout first. Just because you can put the foot down and catch it doesn't give you right of way.

• The bus pulled onto the roundabout first. Just because you can put the foot down and catch up to a slow bus doesn't give you right off way. Give way to vehicles on your right already ON the roundabout. Be considerate to other road users.

They maybe have a point, I reckon I was there first and never speeded up and I was considerate to other road users by slowing down and not going under the front of the cab but hey ho if all I have to do is slow down to avoid the only slight incident with Lothian Buses in 4 years, I'm happy too :-)

Didn't realise you could "put your foot down on a bike. Also pretty sure Highway code says give way to those on your right?????

Surely you must know that nobody reads or takes notice of the highway code by now.

I am sadly fully aware of that fact. How do you put your foot down on a bike though???

Pedal harder?

Pedal harder?

<pedant mode> Then you put you foot down, lift it up, put it down </pedant mode>

I beleive its a stopping motion.

Indeed

Many, many times per minute depending on your cadence?

Comment on your video: MX07BUU - First Bus Close Pass In (Crap)
Cycle Lane

@MrGrumpycyclist That would be his way of telling you, '%^&$
off, the company that I work for, does not care what you say, we pay our
road tax'!!! ; > ]

I seem to have stirred up a hornet's nest at the First Bus company. They are venting their ill-informed vitriol in droves on my YouTube channel.

Edited to correct typo. (Originally posted from my phone.)
