Might be an informal ride, but it was a commute for me, two vids:

A couple of interesting points here:
Why does she pull left on Ian, but not on me?
Recumbents clearly aren't as invisible as some like to suggest.
My light isn't ridiculously different to brake lights. I'm no longer going to give any credence to those suggesting a Dinotte is too bright.

Sorry but the first one of these videos would have earnt a talking to from me. Ian is obviously a much calmer person than I am!!!

You can hear on the vid that I did give her a 'what for' but fair play to the lady, she did hold up her hand and apologise immediately.

Oh sorry no sound on the machine (it isn't a PC) at work.

It really annoys me when drivers swerve around a right turning vehicles like that, rather than wait a couple of seconds.

She was probably more concious of you Mikey, checking that she had time to get around the bus before you got there, and didn't notice Ian Ian had changed lanes in front of her.

What did you guys think of my Dinotte? Was it irritatingly bright at all? I mean in person on the day, rather than on the video.

it was fine imo. Not blinding me, i could comfortably ride behind you.

It was fine Mike. Set at a good angle as to not be an irritant.

And you can see from the bus vid that I am close behind you with the light reflecting off my jacket... but it wasn't in my eye's.

Notice how Ian, gaz, and Mista all go left into the nearside lane in the Vauxhall video? Was I wrong to stay in the middle lane there?
