FWIW I considered it a right of passage to get trolling comments :-) Unless they get really abusive or personal I don't bother blocking or deleting, they only serve to make the commenter look like an idiot.

Likewise, it took a couple of months before I got my first troll. I even replied saying his trolling was a good thing. Funny that, I never got a reply off him.

Even so you dont have to sit there and listen to rubbish. I used to get that a lot on there. I later realised that youtube is self-moderated, if they get shirty with me deleting their ignorant and abusive comments I just block them.

You dont have to get pulled into a debate imo. You can chose to leave it, or leave a stronger, more sensible message elsewhere.

Yea i know what you mean. I find youtube just as user friendly without an account, sometimes i scroll down to read the comments and I see things like ... Suck a **** you *** ***** ****er. or STFU your gay. And I think, is the internet dominated by children, click their profile.. oh no hes a 31 year old man! Oh dear!

I find having a profile is all to tempting, and before I now it I've fed a troll and they go off on one!

I hate when bad car drivers cut me up on the road or overtake me too close or overtake me and then pull back in where I have to brake harshly. I also hate when car drivers think that they don't have give way to cyclists when the car is waiting at give way lines.

I've been in a few bad moments where I've had to brake and gone over the handlebars because of that. I've gotten so angry in these moments that at times I've over reacted such as scratching the sides of the cars with my keys. I know it's wrong but I get so caught up in the moment at times, some of you may know what I mean because you know what would happen if a car actually hits you. I ride my bike safely and legally on the road, why can't some people learn to drive their car? Why can't some drivers understand that if I hit their car, I'd get hurt and their car gets scratched, if the car hits me, I'd get hurt or worse and the car gets scratched. I think the government need to do a big advert on tv stressing the point that cyclists are allowed to ride on the road.

I think head-cam cyclists are gaining more publicity now, which will make drivers more wary and behave (as if they should need that to make it happen). As long as whilst the cam user numbers go up the over-zealous cyclists using them doesn't also go up then it's a good thing.

I am planning on getting a cam for my bike but drivers don't really know about the cam...one day they may realise it but atm only a handful of drivers know about cams.
