(NOT) Funny video

[Markymark]

The yellow rider is my colleague who is taking his turn at the front, we swap a couple of times on our commute. I was not scalped!

Give me an S.

Give me a C.

Give me an A....

I can't view the video at work.

I'm devastated

You are not missing anything, apparently

OK, as retribution for me watching a dull vid: two riders pass the line of stopped cars so close that they'd be taken out by a door opening, even though there's nothing oncoming, then stop in the "KEEP CLEAR" marking for no good reason (there's space alongside the first cycle). The yellow rider's road position seems a bit better than the assisted cycle or @Rooster1, but really everyone seems to be riding a bit close to the edge on a road that is too narrow for an same-lane overtake. Maybe the camera lens is distorting distances and misleading me.

Thanks for the appraisal. I will politely ignore.

PS, in the 15 years I have stopped before, after or on the "keep clear" zone, I have never once seen anything coming in or out of it - hence I deemed it acceptable on this occasion.

There is 3 minutes 26 seconds of my life I will never get back

I will use Adobe Premiere next time, and jazz it up a little

Cracking speed by the way...which...be honest...is the real reason you posted this vid.

Eh, am I wrong.

Also, you scalped your mate first...so the universe is once more aligned. well played

22.5 mph, until I was scalped, apparently

I'd say the probability of a door being opened in the video is minimal, as you'd be opening the door and getting out into the path of on-coming traffic - another good reason to filter down the outside of traffic.

If I had a tenner for everyone who's disembarked on the driver's side in a queue, I'd stop cycling in London so often

I like to start just behind or in front (if I'm there already) to see what the other cyclists are going to do.

That sounds a bit stalkery. I'd just ask them, or invite them to go first and hang back if the lights change before you get a reply.

Can't you overlay some graphics like your speed, elevation etc? That would make it supercool.

It looks like a scalp to me

It looks like a scalp to me

Well, it happens so rarely to me, I forget what it looks like

Hmmmm scalped by "a mate" and not being able to keep up with an electric bike. 2+2 = ?

Mechanical doping I reckon, just like Froome.
