Now this is why commuting rocks! Stalemate situation and cycle storm implemented :P

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

There 5000 lumen lights that utilize 3 x CREE XM-L2 LEDS. I use them on low most rides unless I'm in the mood too pop a few eyeballs.

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

Yes mate although, although I've been commuting by bike up and down it now for just under two years so so fuel only bothers me when I inhale the byproducts :/

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.

Hehe, I wanted too knock on each and every window and say.. see, look where you inpatients and selfishness has got you!! cya wouldn't wanna be ya :P

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!

Yea, days like that you put the rain and floods behind you.. well, the wet floods anyway, the floods of laughter you carry throughout the day lol.

Bloody cyclists, causing traffic!!

I like how your lights look like laser cannons.

They also perform like lasers mate. Although out of respect to peoples eyeballs I try and keep them low. Your looking at 10000 lumens between them two lights.

If you saw my previous light you would see why I just had to upgrade. You can see it on this video.

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.

Smug, I'm still overjoyed by the whole event, it's times like that that drivers sitting in there incapacitated vehicle actually get a chance too take stock of there irrational and selfish behavior. R
Regarding helping the poor darlings, Err, nah, the longer they fester the less likelihood of them re-offending :P

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

Will show them this.

That's a new one on me but I can see how drivers may think like that, apparently all cyclist don't pay road tax either but I have a fully taxed Hayabusa sitting in the garage 360 days out of the year.
Ignorant effigies of modern society that what they are :P

Is it actually worth the motorists using that as a short cut (does it actually cut off a large chunk?) ... I think if I tried that once, then it would be the only time I used it in a car as a short cut.

There is another route mate. That road leads too a roundabout on a duel carriage way about 5 miles away. It's also 5 miles if you take the alternate route. I have ridden both with the GPS and its exactly the same distance.
Maybe if only they had GPS's or actually new how too use them :P

[Krellon]

Show them this too (this is quite normal):

Classic, and were are the Cholesterol. You can fair feel the anger and frustration radiating from the cars lol.
I had a couple deliberately pull out too try and stop me passing lol. It always back fires on them when your on two wheels.

idiot driving at the start.

You only saw a bit of it.

Check some of the cycling vids on my channel and you will see what I put up with. There all shot within a 5 mile radius of my digs. I have plenty more on the HD.
The most common I see is passing at speed to close and overtaking into blind bends at speed.

Apologies for being off post, but I'm interested in how you've mounted your camera. Looks like a chest mount. Can you give me the details?

Yes mate.

I'm using a GoPro Hero 3 Black with the stock GoPro chest harness. You do get a bit of knocking, I narrowed it down to the buckles tapping the back plate if I cycle hard. I bit of tissue wedged in there fixed it (mostly)
