Why would you have a GPS and then an iPhone for strava? Just use the GPS.
Well, you can never have too many gadgets, surely?!?

Where do the drivers who've had police letters (often delivered by hand, no less) following one of my videos fit into your generalisation?Apart from emailing their employers, it's pointless. It serves no purposes, other than saddling cyclists with an even worse image to that which we already have.
Exactly the point which I am trying to get across in my "Close pass compilations". I have some very close ones this month which I will be uploading next weekend.I don't actually think most of the time drivers actually appreciate how scary a close pass at speed is
Not that I would, but if I cut you up I couldn't care if you posted it on YouTube. Why should I? It makes no odds to me - after all, ive just committed the act in public so why should I care if you pop it in YouTube where the only people who search for such videos are saddos?Not really, if a driver does something to endanger my life I'm going to kick up a stink about it because if we become complacent then that is when somebody gets killed.

Emailing the employer I can understand. Posting it on YouTube does nothing except make you look as sad as the offending driver is stupid.
No one takes this rubbish seriously except enthusiastic cyclists, and were already converted to the cause.
The mere act of posting makes them sad, the plural of which is saddo. It's the cycling equivalent of filming a day out at a Cardigan Convention and posting it on the web.
It does nothing to highlight poor driving, and everything to rub non-cyclists up the wrong way. Nothing whatsoever has changed on the roads since people started doing this, and nothing whatsoever will change if you all stopped doing it today.
Do you honestly think habitual bad drivers log into the Interweb just view these videos, and then go away soberly thinking how they're going to buck their ideas up? The only people that watch them are other camera users and people who already hate cyclists.
Highlights bad driving, eh? Highlights it to who? Cycle cam users who already know about it? Cycle haters who'd happily see us off the roads anyway? There's no third party audience, no legion of ordinary Joes who watch these videos and turn to religion as a consequence. Every road user witnesses these scenes first had pretty much daily already, so how does witnessing them again add anything?

Not really - there are far worse videos on YouTube. I don't force people to subscribe to my videos. I only have 45 subscribers or so but they are free to unsubscribe if they like.The mere act of posting makes them sad, the plural of which is saddo.

It doesn't? Oh, then I guess the videos of mine which have appeared on TV, on various websites and in national cycle campaigns don't highlight poor driving.It does nothing to highlight poor driving, and everything to rub non-cyclists up the wrong way.

Of course not, but some of us have seen the drivers comment on the videos or contact us about them, how do you think this happens? Perhaps they know to look up online because some of us occasional say "search your numberplate on youtube" Or because the police have sent them a letter about their poor driving and include the details of the video which appears online.Do you honestly think habitual bad drivers log into the Interweb just view these videos, and then go away soberly thinking how they're going to buck their ideas up?

Highlights it to whoever wants to listen, I guess 3,000,000 video views is just going to be cyclists and people who hate cyclists. I guess the comments from people saying "I'm not a cyclist, but i've learnt the troubles they face and driver extra cautiously around them" are from the cycle haters?Highlights bad driving, eh?

I don't need to, I know exactly what I have achieved, i've detailed some of those achievements in previous posts and whilst you may think it is a pointless task, i bet the drivers who have been issued with fines, prosecutions, points on their licenses, section 59's on their vehicles and letters from the police would disagree with you.Don't kid yourself that this activity serves any useful purpose.
I agree with earlier posts criticising your opinion here. These videos have had an effect. I’d also say it’s far too early to think nothing will change in relation to driver behavior/attitude towards cyclists as a result of such postings. A c change in behavior can take time – look at the public attitude towards drink driving for example. One or two individuals posting videos on YouTube might have an immeasurable effect, but as more and more cyclists (and drivers) fit ever cheaper and better cameras, and as prosecutions of bad driver’s increase as a direct result of the evidence collected by such devices, I think even the most ignorant driver might just start to think twice about cutting up the cyclist or jumping the lights etc if they thought there was a pretty good chance their actions were recorded.The mere act of posting makes them sad, the plural of which is saddo.

Could you ask him how he found the video then !the only people who search for such videos are saddos?
Really? I think the senior police officer who called me last night, regarding the driving of one of his officers, might just disagree. I'd venture to suggest he'd be mightily p****d off at the suggestion that nothing will change as the result of his interest in one of my videos.It does nothing to highlight poor driving, and everything to rub non-cyclists up the wrong way.
