Silly Cyclist vids for noobs

[locker]

I learnt quite a lot from these videos as a noob cyclist. Before I got my commuter I watched near all of them and the advice given has really helped to make me more aware on the road and I learnt to try and predict fools on the road.

Anyone else benefit from these videos or are you just shocked by what some cyclists get up too?

Talking as a number 1 silly cyclist (episode 29) I can certainly say I have learned a lot from these videos but still finding it hard to convince some people but some people will never change, I`m glad I am & will continue to do so.

Yeah silly cyclists has certainly helped me become more confident in what I was already doing and a few pointers (mostly primary and door zones). I have now helped pass this on to my mother who has just started cycling again.

Shame I don't have a helmet cam because I would have had a number 1 silly cyclist for you Gaz the other day.....

FTFY.

If they are on youtube then let me know, otherwise send me a copy. Ta

Sure. I will post it once I have editted the file (cut the raw one down to size).

:UPDATE: I have uploaded it.

I've been watching the Silly Cyclist videos today. I had no idea that cycling in London was like that now.....and I used to live there. Sheer madness!

It pains to watch these vids as most can be avoided by doing some really simple basic checks. Some cyclists assume (rather wrongly) that when out on a bike you don't need to ride defensively or perform any sort of visual check. And then they wonder why some car driver beeps their horn at them when they move out and around a bus.
