You're closer to the give way line and have less of a safety bubble if traffic pulls out in front of you.

I thought you might like a camera as you could evaluate your own riding with the same vigour that you analyse the cycling of others.
I dont doubt I make mistakes too, but isnt that what posters of vids are asking?

Isn't that a whole day spent now without anything positive said about someone else's cycling, Col? You only have 6 more.

What do you think are your major faults when riding a bike, Col?

Here's a few of mine:

1.Riding too fast for the conditions (particularly in bus lanes when undertaking traffic in the offside lane).
2.Filtering too often
3. Passing other cyclists too close.
4. Not looking back enough.
5. General complaceny.

I think hope people who upload film are looking for constructive criticism. However, your default position seems to be that most people who post film online try to manipulate the situation to make it look worse than it is. This clouds your judgement and often detracts from your other arguments.

I think some do yes. Not sure I understand the rest of your post though?

I'm looking for the post in commuting where you've been nice and positive about someone else's cycling. Remember that little bet? I was hoping you might manage to do this at least once in the next week.

I think I have, but not because of your mission, but because the cyclist handled himself well.
