Descent through the traffic in Mexico City

[stan leyden]

That's a tough commute.

Tremendous video, makes my old commute in to Glasgow seem ultra rural! Bigger cojones than me that paid and I certainly will not be joining their rides anytime soon!

The next time you read about a cycling fatality, dont jump to the conclusion it is all the motorists fault. Wait until the investigation is over. As you can see on here, some cyclists are just a fatality waiting to happen. I cant see how they enjoy this.

Do you realise how stupid this makes you sound?

 

[glenn forger]

as soon as Rider down appears, it is the car or trucks fault,.

I expect you have an example?

I saw the Grand Prix.

No wonder so many drivers crash.

Nobody would be stupid enough to equate alleycats with commuting, would they?

Ian Austin MP, co-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group, said the BBC's documentary "presents a commercially-produced film of reckless stunt cycling in London as ordinary footage as if it is normal behaviour by everyday cyclists."

The MP said this “about as representative of ordinary cycling in Britain as a James Bond car chase is of ordinary driving.”

Obviously some people disagree with your opinion. Personally, I will write what is on my mind, if you dont like it, I dont have a problem with that.

 

[glenn forger]

and drivers complain about cyclists!

Shakes head.

I can remember one a while back (and no, I'm not going looking for it) where a cyclist was sadly involved in a fatal collision involving a caravan. The driver was assumed to be the guilty party - until it emerged that the caravan had been stationary following a breakdown, and the cyclist had ridden straight into the back of it.

The driver was assumed to be the guilty party

Not true.

I'll help you out as it was local to me. here. Cyclist was TT. No suggestion he was riding like the video, in if anything it was lack of attention, can't accuse the cyclists in video of that.

As to the video it could have just as easily been here in Rio de Janeiro. Multiple lanes of stationary traffic is just somewhere for the hawkers to wander between the lanes flogging their wares

I can see why they do it, just for the sheer excitement, but I'm a scaredy cat for the most part so it wouldn't be for me.
