[Deleted member 20519]

Saw this video on my Youtube feed. The bike owner (youtube.com/sonofthewindsinc)'s GoPros record as two thieves attempt to steal his bike!

So not only is sonofthewind a very poor cyclist, he also proves to be a bit of an idiot by leaving a bike with all those accessories, locked up in the centre of London thinking it would be safe.

What makes him a bad cyclist?

I didn't say bad.
He has history on here.
Check out some of his other vids.

And he now owes me fourteen minutes of my life back.

That's an incredible amount of stuff to leave on a bike in a public place... including a detachable £300 light? + he's pointedly continuing to stare directly at the 'thieves' as he leaves- is this a spoof set up deliberately as a video for You Tube?

How would he know who the thieves were? GoPros don't have screens so he couldn't watch a recording at the scene.

Well we all do know he does like to play up for the cam so I wouldn't be surprised.

That title is misleading. I want a refund.

Not the mention the £200 to £400 worth of GoPro cameras...

 

[Archie_tect]

He deserves to lose those next time, so no sympathy there HovR. Odd the 'thieves' couldn't manage it though isn't it?

He's just known for doing some cycling 'no-no's that put you in very dangerous situations, then arguably overreacting about them on camera. The one that springs to mind for me was when he rode right on the left of lane two on a dual carriageway stretch, thus allowing a white van to give him a close pass on the right, whilst he had traffic in the lane note left also.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I felt sick watching that, imagining it was my bike, but yes, I have to admit, why would you leave all that stuff on your bike?
The hidden camera (and tracker device...... and remotely controlled flame thrower from the cross bar/seat, connected to the camera) yes, but £70 lights??

Hell, I'd be lucky if mine cost £7!
