If this is going to be a typical commute ..

[col]

Col, there's no-one on here who choreographs incidents to get a reaction, despite your insistence. It's a pretty sad state of affairs if you continually delude yourself into thinking that some people value letting off a bit of steam more than they value their lives.

Are you saying that someone with a wife and kids would risk leaving them widowed / fatherless just to get a reaction that they could post on here for our delectation ?

If you cant see the way some have done things on video, then thats worrying.And to go on about the risk of life and family as a defence that it doesnt happen is a tad melodramatic to try and prove your point.
Im afraid its you that is deluded if you cant see this, or your defending a friends ways.

I have, and I've yet to see any evidence of anything being choreographed.

Just going on believing what you will, Col. If you think I'm deluded, then so be it. I can live with that, because I know I'm right and you're wrong.

I think that you confuse people though col, and you pick and choose your responses. You say cyclists are to blame when they get in the way and a driver doesn't like it, but at the same time promote pushing in front of a driver at the lights.

I also say attitude and looking like your trying to be decent goes a long way, and not all cyclists are responsible, where did you get that idea, only some.
I agreed with your example of pushing to the front because you moved over when you were able, and didnt claim the road unreasonably.

I'm buying into col's vast, badly worded conspiracy theory here. Last Friday I received my CTC Newsletter and it had this......

After Dave Brennan’s article in the Feb/March issue of Cycle, I looked around to find more cycle commuters who use helmet cameras and came across this blog from a commuter in Glasgow who also uploads videos on You Tube.

Wait a cotton-pickin' minute! I thought Dave B was Magnatom?! But the evidence is here - we are being deluded. Who is magnatom? Who is Dave Brennan? There's no way this could be an editorial mistake. That would be like saying drivers make mistakes - ridiculous! Its deliberate. Dare I say.......choreographed.

I go on what I see, simple as that really. And its that attitude that they also tend to have, "Im right your wrong"

When I'm in a perfectly legal road position and some muppet overtakes dangerously/illegally then it *is* that simple..

I see that you live in Edinburgh and will understand if English is not your native tongue.
To choreograph neans 'to manage, manoeuver, or direct' and there have been plenty of examples on here and you do not have to put yourself in danger to choreograph an incident.

Still spreading the love there, Mr H.

 

[MacB]

is it only me that's impressed by anyone possessing the cycling skills to choreograph? Makes me wonder what music track you'd have for a video of your riding, maybe Mr Bean for me

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

Oh the wit. Please stop, my sides can only take so much. No. Really.

You are attributing the ability to either 'force' drivers into making dangerous manoeuvres, or mind reading drivers' intentions as they come up from behind. Nonsense!

And the snide racism in your comment is contemptible.

What that your right? Oh I see what you meant

What is contemptible is the arguments put forward to defend these people like you have above, the culprits are probably grinning like cheshire cats that they have took you in.

 

[boydj]

"have took"

That nicely describes the level of your arguments.



I know it's a cheap shot - but what the hell..........
