Not a Good Advert

[presta]

I think Darien's a d!ckhead leading a charmed life.

(His control of the bike with nothing but a fixie for a brake is impressive though.)

Tune in for the sequel Darien does time for injuring someone with his illegal bike.

(I can't see any brakes on it - maybe there is but he's surely going to come a cropper soon)

I think you are being very insulting there.










To d!ckheads.

His cycling really is stupidly dangerous, both to himself and to others, as well as breaking multiple laws.

 

[DCLane]

Agreed - he's on a fixie, so only a rear brake. A whole pile of offences committed there - by both him and whoever's filming - which makes us all look bad.

Mildly antisocial.

Dickhead is the person who’s parked their white van blocking the road.

How on earth does it make us (presumably cyclists) all look bad?

Nobody suggests that idiots filming illegal stuff in cars makes all motorists look bad.

Both of them are on borrowed time - it was just luck they got away with it a few times on there.

Yep (assuming it was actually two of them, and not a "follow' drone.

I've reported the videa for "harmful or dangerous acts". Hopefully it will get taken down if a few more report it.

The videographer follows a number of cyclists -all London Fixed Gear - all are riding dangerously.

My chain broke on the way home today. If it had been on a fixie without brakes then I'd probably be in A&E now.

I quite enjoyed watching that, although I always find it a bit odd when people post videos for the world to see of them doing stuff that is obviously illegal. There were some very near misses, and it could well end in tears, but I'm sure it was fun.

 

[Oldhippy]

Who is it?

 

[Sea of vapours]

'Dickhead' is an astonishingly generous term for him.

 

[Dogtrousers]

No, not a good advert.

In fact, it's not an advert if any sort, good or bad. It's just a video.
