He sounds amazing! I bet he's a delight down the pub.

YouTube comments are about the lowest you can get in terms of quality discussion anywhere in the world.

At some point discussion reverts to one of 'is god a flying spaghetti monster?', 'how long are the tentacles of the new world order?' or 'how gay is the US/UK'?

I don't want to contaminate this thread with positivity and dreary earnestness, but why don't we post more constructive YouTube feedback as well as the moronic replies/exchanges (even if it is a bit of an ego stroking exercise).

Here's mine:


Defensive CYcling FTW!

Having had a sick day today, I've gone through lots of your videos that you've uploaded in the last year and, I have to say, it's a breath of fresh air.

You keep a completely calm head, you don't hurl abuse (however justified) at other road users, you're predicting the deterioration of the situation ahead of you and taking necessary action (even when it is the fault of others); you're keeping your escape lanes open and not (as far as the videos show) letting the red mist come down.

It's refreshing to see someone who actually realises that, as a highly vulnerable road user, only they can take responsibility for their own safety - I ride under the assumption that every other road user is out to get me.

Congrats.

Have you ever read "Motorcycle Roadcraft: The Police Rider's Handbook to Better Motorcycling" because you're basically providing an example of most of it.

After this, I hope you can get your ego back on the bike :smile:

Your deffensive cycling videos are very good! If only more cyclists watched them and thought about there actions. In the past week I've seen nearly 10 places where a cyclist nearly got left or right hooked because they where not paying attention.

I take it that guy is having a dig at some of us that do react to some of the dodgy driving.

I read the "Police Rider's Handbook" when I first learnt to ride a motorbike, it was recommended by my instructor, an ex-motorbike cop. It not only helped my riding it helped my driving too.

I read a fair section of that in the shop and went to buy it, then realised I was about 2 quid short. :blush:

On youtube comments people need to see this:

The Cycling Silk just blogged about this... I think he needs our help on the legalities. I've given my input (though I have no sound at the mo, telly is on).

I added my view, overtake too close and driving whilst using headphones/ear buds is illegal.

if , the driver was on private land, and the cyclist was using a zoom lens from an unseen location


maybe he'd have a point... ( though not human rights act, it'd be some sort of privacy snooping law)..

but he's in the public and he KNOWS he's being videod..

i mean, if he'd been paying attention he'd have seen the bloke with a sodding camera as well....
