Those video camera cyclists always look for trouble!

[gaz]

Something that is often said*

3 of us bumped into each other on our commutes home and out paths where crossed for 4 miles. Not a single incident in that time. Not bad for cyclists that apparently try to make trouble to get youtube views.

I am not part of this thread. The meer mention of my name gets the thread locked or deleted.

All it needs is the Benny Hill music and it'd be hilarious!

You are obviously not trying hard enough

It does look like Gaz could have had him though didnt it?

But then the cynics could say you know that if something does happen you can't make a meal of it cos the other cameras would prove 'there was plenty of room' or 'you provoked the poor taxi/bus driver by looking at him' or making suggestive hand signals off camera etc etc.

So from all the miles the three of you ride, the only clip you could find where you weren't looking for incidents is that one short stretch. Blooming troublemakers.

I would say he is just that little bit quicker than me.
I'm taller and fatter than him. And he has gears.
Although one point I passed him and accelerated to 31mph. He stuck on my tail!

I'll upload the other 30-40 mins of SkrypczykBass and I riding if you want... Be warned, it's not intresting.

I'm consistently astonished at how many other cyclists there are about when videos of riding in London are posted.

I typically see 10 or 12 other cyclists on my 13 mile journey and the majority of those are in a 1/2 mile stretch near the Uni.

One of these days I'm going to take my bike down to that London place and experience what it's like to see so many other cyclists on the road

Simon.r when you come to London ensure you ride round the north circular road during rush hour and navigate the hanger lane junction.... its once in a life time experience you will not see many cyclists, but you will understand why many have camera's pretty quickly

So, did SkrypczykBass tell you how to pronounce his name properly?

I get that alot having a camera makes it seem like you look for trouble, or expect trouble. Once a man wanted to know how much the camera was and where i brought it from so its useful at times. And now alot of cyclists have cameras. Its annoying really trouble especially on the road like when a lady is assaulted and she wants to use your camera film as evidence. Useful sometimes though at least!
