Glasgow Cyclist tackles the barriers to cycling

[Drago]

Its a good thing that barrier wasn't a pregnant nun with an armful of orphans and puppies or there would've been carnage!

Guy's a tit - no argument.

Hands up, though - I could easily have got caught too. I'm racking my brains for any of those things I've gone through ... that DON'T have a clear space for bikes to get through? Can't think of any ...

Probably saw one too many episodes of the A-team breaking Murdock out from his latest mental ward.

I thought a tit was a bit extreme. Looked to me like he just got caught out from a sensor that doesn't recognise oncoming cyclists.

Why do people post a video where the main event occurs 20 seconds in, except the video lasts another irrelevant 2.5 minutes?

How many Glasgow cyclists are there on here( other than @glasgowcyclist )

Just wondering.

 

[Slick]

Greater Glasgow.

 

[pjd57]

Greater Glasgow.

G23 for me.

 

[Slick]

G78 here.

Well, there's this king of ancient England, who decides to split his empire up and give it to his three daughters, one of whom does not show him respect so he cuts her out. The two other daughters start to turn against the king and each other, meanwhile the king descends into madness...oh hang on I was looking at the wrong video.

G23 for me.

G42 for me sunny Mt. Florida

I don't see that he is a twat (sexist) or a twit (speciest). He just didn't expect the barrier to go down. The barrier is still vertical with a timestamp .06 and by the time he hits it is is still only .07. So that's less than 2 seconds to realise the barrier is coming down and to stop. Who is claiming they wouldn't hit it?

(I wouldn't, because I'm an over cautious cyclist and always assume the barrier is coming down. I also walk over cattle grids, so I'm not a typical cyclist)

I thought, it being about Glasgow, it might be the one where a bloke gets egged on by his wife to kill loads of people, then they each go a bit mad, and it all goes tits up.

It wisnae me, honest!

That is part of my commute so I know that the riders could have used either pavement as both have dropped kerbs, being part of NCN 7.
Did you spot the bollard on the pavement? It was put there by the hotel to stop drivers using it to bypass the control on exit (they charge £4 per day).

Anyway, I have an alibi for that day...
