They were probably upset that you weren't using the lovely cycle path their "road tax" paid for .

Unfortunately as your video demonstrates, some drivers see it as their duty to 'teach us a lesson' for not using the cycle 'farcilities' provided. I get the same quite frequently. Couldn't fault your riding, (I might have been slightly further out from the curb but you know that road better than I do of course). One point, it might have been worth having a quiet polite word with the idiot after he/ she pulled off to explain what was wrong with their driving. However, hindsight's a wonderful thing and in the heat of the moment, it's never quite that easy of course.

Welcome aboard by the way!

Thanks

I was running late that day so was in a rush so I didn't stop. Most issues I come across I just ignore/shake my head and move on but close passes like that and really dangerous. I know what you mean about being further out but most drivers on that stretch are fine and wait to pass safely so I don't think it would have mattered to this guy. He/she would have done something like this anyway just because I was on the road

Is that Priory Lane? Looks familiar.

So true.

Clearly, they don't hold any form of power in their lives.

Its difficult to tell exactly but it looks like they misjudged both your speed and how close the oncoming car was. As others have said nothing wrong with your riding, just a car driver who cocked up.

What camera are you using?

What camera are you using?

It's a Contour HD 1080. Amazons price for it tends to go up and down to compete witb the other sellers on the site so it can go down to about £180 ish

You might want to try using the dusk lighting settings or a polarizing filter.

Nope. There are lots of cyclists going through there to get to and from Richmond park... I like his shorts though
