Everyone was in such a hurry to get too work then log jammed them selves into a stalemate.

Cracking!

It always surprises me when cars push into a narrowing without thinking how they and the thing coming the opposite way are going to get out! That looks a narrow lane for that much traffic.

 

[betty swollocks]

Nice.
How did you reduce the wind noise?

Quality !

Top marks for letting the car go at the start, and then passing him 30s later, always nice to rub it in :-)

Good going, I’ve never enjoyed driving down that lane – gets the car filthy and the occasional wing mirror swipe with another vehicle. Useful cut through for a cyclist, but not so great for all the commuters. Zooming through morning traffic clog ups is always a great way to start the day!

@Krellon I spy two Triple T6 lights there !!! Good god !

 

[WellyWonkey]

It's good when a plan comes together isn't it? As said previously though, that lane looks a nightmare to navigate for traffic congestion
Just think of the amount of wasted fuel being used up on that lane every work day though, frightening really

Needs more sadistic laughing, you could splice the clip with car adverts showing utterly deserted roads, also needs a counter bottom left corner showing the value of the overtaken cars.

I'd want that sort of light show if I was cycling down that road too!

I once came across a French coach stuck between restricted width poles with a huge queue of traffic behind it and no where for it to turn round, I dont know how the coach ever got out but the traffic behind would have been there for hours. I just cruised on by laughing!

Bloody cyclists, causing traffic!!

I like how your lights look like laser cannons.

 

[jarlrmai]

That is one popular dogging spot.

Lovely job !

That sort of situation can lead to irrepressible cycling smugness which can last a week. Or longer, if you put the film on YouTube.

I've managed to help the poor darlings sort themselves out in situations like that a few times.

They are so pitiful and helpless in their little tin boxes when they can't move forwards quickly enough (bless their little cotton socks). You can't help but show a bit of sympathy.

Not having a "stake" in the aggression and frustration these poor benighted drivers are experiencing, has made it easier for me to suggest a bit of give & take, a few adjustments back & forth, here and there, and get the traffic flowing again. Until the next wombat who can't hold back or find reverse blocks it up again, that is.

Someone recently told me that cyclists were the cholesterol of the road network.

Will show them this.
