US cycle safety video



We could do with a UK version, maybe a Cyclechat production.


The American presenter is quite easy on the eye, (if a little masculine vocally), I do like the " you have the same rights and responsibilities as other road users".

Who could we ask to star in the CC version?.

She could at least have gone naked for the cameras.

A bit OT I know, but alecstilleyedye O...M...G... how on earth do you manage to hold your handlebars?!?!?! Your summer bike looks as if it would nearly put your head below your bum!!

 

[alecstilleyedye]

works for me. the headstock/bars bit of that bike is the only halfords bit left on the bike, which is why it's the least elegant bit i suppose.

I'm flattered, but fear I'd never live up to that tanned fit look...

If you want a show presented by a slightly pasty barrel shaped person, I'm ready...


Got no sound here, so can't really comment on the film. But a UK version could only be a good idea. Include the DVD with every new bike sold... Along with a condensed Cyclecraft pamphlet.

anyone think we could make a cycle-chat version? i have digital editing facilities (not the rubbish ones that come with windoze), have we any actors, camerapersons etc in the house?

Not professional at any of those things, but I'm a shameless wannabe luvvy, so would be happy to act. Or to point a camera, but I only have my little digi and my helmet cam. Ideally, we'd need a good video camera...

I think Patrick was quite keen last time we were talking about making a film. He may lose interest once he finds out it is of the public information variety though.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

actually i know a bloke here with a decent video camera (he's a cyclist but not on here afaik), but he'd probably want to edit too

They're all riding on the wrong side of the road! That can't be safe!

 

[LordoftheTeapot]

I could present any video. Qualified (City and Guilds) in teaching adults so used to being in front of loads of people. Also did two seasons as a local tour guide in Leicester

 

[LordoftheTeapot]

OH! And I talk a lot better then I type

Don't be silly Bokonon, it's perfectly safe, just as long as you are wearing a helmet.

There is a LOT of ropey cycling displayed in that video, it could almost be used as a "don't ride like this" educational.
