Classic youtube replies

Actually.. as a side note I got into a conversation with someone over a rant video he'd made about cyclists in the States. (I put the video on my blog and talked about the mentality)

He made some specious comments that its the cyclist's fault if he takes a corner too fast and takes one out. I replied that its down to him to drive safely and countered some of his arguments (most of which I now forget as it was 1am). His reply was typically daft that (paraphrased) "it aint gonna be me that gets hurt!"

I noticed the next day I'd had a reply to my comment that he needn't take my word for it, it could contact his local Police force and ask how to drive around cyclists. When I clicked on the link I noticed all our converse had been removed.

Do you think I got to him? I know I can be "persistant" at times.

I had a little spat with this guy too - i think he just deletes comments which are winning arguments against his point. (45mph round a blind bend???)

Yep, sounds like the guy. I blogged him here:

He was linked to from somebody else's page; what a @rse, spanner (insert appropriate word here).

I found this quote on one of my videos. It seems by doing exercise we become arrogant.

People who train in the gym everyday get more aggressive and arrogant. Their physiology changes and testosterone increases as does their ego. They think that if they are doing all this hard work, surely they are better than someone who sits on their fat ass watching tv everyday. A serious cyclist is no different, putting their self worth above people they perceive as below them because they arnt interested in fitness.

But when they act on this mindset = collision = car beats bike

The more I read this chaps comments, the more convinced I am he is Bonj!

Here is another

if I pass a bike, and see the traffic ahead stopped, and the car in front is huggin the gutter, I will hug the center line to block the bike getting past. If the car in front is hugging the center or a large vehical in the next lane is close to our lane, ill hug the gutter as best to block his passage. If I have had to wait at all or if i feel the cyclist has not stuck to the left enough -close pass + highspeed to have the wind push him around a bit...

This is probably his gym:

I don't really know what to say about the other at first I thought he must live a really sad life but his second statement is just reckless.

Sitting on your fat a*** thinking the world wont go by is arrogant

I always thought that photo of the gym with escalators was fake, but look here. Look at the first picture of the gym, its real!

If its used for physiotherapy and the disabled I can see why the escalators are there.

I had someone last night commenting on a video with a bus going through a red light but the comment seemed to imply I was driving the bus, it totally confused me.

Just saw that, what a muppet comment, haha!

Not really wanting to dwell on the video, the cyclist seemed very naive to move out without looking and the van driver very uncaring as it must of been obvious what the cyclist might do. However look at the following comment

As a cyclist I do worry about the likes of "Mr Gollybolly" I think they are for real and do exist, make a mistake infront of them and they will take a great delight in running you over.

There are one or two, but they're the type that just drives off and as rare as hens teeth. They rarely do it in company vans and trucks either.

Hi just read through all the posts and what a scary place to be riding on the roads are , very interesting reading and video .
I think for the time being ill stick to my MTB in the New Forest, all i have to worry about are punctures and branches.
My pet hate at the moment is this one cyclist wearing all black and no lights, and i never quite know where ill meet him on my way home in the evening . I guess good and bad in everything.

You nerd! Your work colleges must hate you. Coming into work with a camera strapped to your head, stinking of BO along with your pathetic arsey attitude. All your videos make me cringe.
No doubt you have heard this before and you already have pre-set arsey reply back. Even so, it would be in your best intentions taking note... Try working harder and you could afford a car!

My response... delete and block

My response... delete and block

It's weird how many people are unable to conceive of a person cycling when they can afford, or even already have, a car.

 

[atomboy]

Maybe you must GTFO of the way of the car?

It's so tipical... Here. Maybe I should block him, but I want to know his logic...
