I've snipped all the other irrelevant stuff, but this bit is interesting, so you are now admitting that your BACK wheel is on the line, so unless you turned your bike around & was facing the other way of which we didn't see in the removed video, it then stands to reason that your front wheel, your handlebars, your crank, your pedals & basically YOU are now forward of the line, is that a fair comment?

Now it seems that certain posts are being deleted from this thread, rendering some of the replies apparently redundant.

I think it's the same person who drove our taxi back to CDG airport in February , although the bike is a good bit slower🤪

Behind the line or on it?
I know that sounds like splitting hairs, but if one can't be absolutely sure of the position of the bike then it's at least plausible that the rear wheel, and therefore the entire bike, was actually in front of the stop line. It doesn't matter really as 'the offence is committed when any part of the vehicle crosses the line', but still...

I don't think he will live to see his pension.
When I drive in Paris ( which I try not to these days) motorcycles and scooters are a worry as they will pass you from any angle. On the other hand, driving in Paris does sharpen your driving skills.

OP may have deleted one of his rendering replies to it useless, referencing a now deleted post. But he can't delete other peoples posts

Noooo! Not another one!! I’ve only just seen this, and it’s got to eleven pages already. Isn’t it bad enough that we’ve got a pandemic? We don’t need this as well🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂
we were there last year and the Paris ring road is unreal, the scooter riders are just mental.

Cycling around the Arc de Triomphe is quite an experience, it's a right free for all.
Oh, I'll go ahead of a vehicle at lights, be they sitting in the ASL or not. Even if it is technically illegal, but for added "pro", you position the bike at whatever oblique angle required to fit between the vehicle and the stop line.
If you're filtering down a queue on the offside you can't necessarily tell that the ASL is filled, and it's not necessarily safe to angle yourself into the queue. Well, it's safer to go to the front, even if it means going over the ASL.

Fair enough. But at least you acknowledge that it is illegal rather than defending an indefensible position of righteousness. And the video in question was hardly central London.
