Hello!
I'm a bike commuter and have been at the ars* end of some of the stuff that you have and I am now doing the PR for a company called actioncameras.co.uk who sell helmet cameras. I want to get some coverage in the press about the dreadful times commuters can have on bikes and also how we are 'fighting back' ie: recording commutes.
Would you be comfortable, if I was to go ahead with this, to share your videos and maybe talk to the press should I generate any interest? It's an idea in the early stages but I think it's certainly a decent story and your near misses and cut ups would be great to back the story up.
If you can help please PM me and let me know where to download your commute and let me know how I can get in contact with you.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers
Kimberley

I don't think he came over to push me out. It looks more like he didn't want to go over the speed bump !!
My Commute
Hi all,
Here is my very amateur attempt. Found this site purely accidently after seeing Magnatom on Youtube.
So I borrowed a cam and played around with Movie maker and then even posted it on YouTube all firsts. Only thing that isn't is the Daily commute which I love.
So many thoughtless people about why shouldn't we as cyclists share some of our experiences, good and bad. So here it is. Fairly un-eventful first attempt however I needed to start somewhere
Thanks,
Matt.

Hey Matt,
That was very good! Certainly more professional than my videos!
It looked like quite a nice commute, but what amazed me most was the lack of other cyclists. I think I saw only one. Was it really early in the morning? Even in Glasgow I see more!
I hope your commutes remain uneventful!

Thats a difficult junction, because the bumps force you quite far to the right and it allows stupid undertake manouvers like that. Ideally you would want to be more central in the lane, but you'd have to go over the bump for that. Far from ideal!!
I know the route he uses wellMattStoke said:
Although the fibber lives in Newcastle Under Lyme which is the posh bit(well, not as scummy), I think MattStoke and my self constitute maybe one of half a dozen regular cyclists in the city
It is not a good place to cycle in but we trundle on
