Col you wrote:



I assume you are referring to a moving vehicle that is approaching the crossing?

Please feel free to keep wriggling though...

You really are dim arent you, feel free to try and make it sound like something it isnt you mammery gland

 

[Origamist]

It was a simple question. Were you referring to an approaching vehicle, or not?

 

[Rhythm Thief]

The only ones i criticise are the unneccesary menaces.

Remind us again who Magnatom was menacing?

 

[Bollo]

In most cases i would agree, but i dont agree when a cyclist forces a situation just to prove a point or get a vid.

Damn you col, you've sussed me out good and proper. Y'see, I was feeling all left out - I'd not put a vid up in ages, despite being an unnecessary menace.

But then I had one - a seemingly random encounter with a rampaging canine on a busy main road. Phew! At last I could hold my head up at our secret club meetings. But was everything kosher and above-board? I confess that the answer is no, as I choreographed the incident by riding a bike made completely from sausages.

I thought you were driving an old banger!

 

[Crackle]

Proper linked suspension though.

That's not a real dog. It's a radio-controlled, canine cyborg thingy operated by Magnatom. The vehicles were driven by various members of his cycle cam cabal (Thomas, Rog etc), therefore the footage is entirely contrived - even the weather.

You said i walked out in front of moving traffic, you sure your not mag ?
If you dont know how to use a crossing you only have to ask you know.

I thought all Mag's vids were test shots for the forthcoming Pixar film, Cyclists(Working Title; 'How to roll over for motorists and have your tummy tickled.'.

Remember Col, you've already written this:

You only need to take one step onto it, you dont have to carry on walking, and one step shows them what you want to do, which most seem to stop for.

You have an infinite capacity to make yourself look silly.

In fact, just to put one foot on a crossing and not cross would put the backs up of a lot of motorists round my way.

And he certainly would look silly standing with one foot on a zebra crossing for 5 minutes or so for a gap in the traffic, because it's a long time since I've seen a motorist stop for anyone who isn't actually walking across.

What weather? It was all filmed indoors using blue screens. The dog is CGI.



Ooops!

Holy moley - I'm behind the times. I'm still hand tinting cellulose nitrate rolls of my cycling escapades...!
