To those who use a helmet camera in London

[subaqua]

Oh yes.. the "why didnt he stop" bollocks. Those kinds of commenters must be psychic, as they obviously know what the traffic is like directly behind Ben.

that highlights the need for a front and rear cam.

and some split screen footage showing a freaking big lorry behind him

probably been linked...but good interview Mr Mags!! Some very good points and think comes across very, very well! You definitely come off nicely balanced, unlike the other guy who didn't really seem to actually know what he was on about in all honesty.

Funny that the motorist guy admits that he cycles illegally on pavements/up one way streets. He should probably sort his own act out, before criticising others for the same thing.

Benborp is definitely famous now - he's been 'snobbed.

By the way, in the feature film, Ben Porter the helmet-cammed commuter will be played by Griffin Dunne

the answer to the bike registration thing is easy. 'Fine, bring it on, it would cut bike thefts in half, but, you know what.....it's not going to happen. Nobody in government is going to want to run a scheme at a loss'.

Ben's Programme (as it will be known from not until his tyres gather dust) was good, and the comments have been cleaned up.

I loved the pictures of Adam Rayner and Zoe Williams with the "Guess which is the cyclist" tagline....

That's very funny - as are some of the comments (some of them go totally over my head...)

Ben makes Bike Snob NYC - result!

What I learnt from the comments is that a white van is sometimes referred to as a "rapemobile" in the US.

And that "black car driver" is the US equivalent of "white van man".

If you are a spammer, could you hook us up with a discount? Somewhere in the region of 80-90% would do it.

featured in today's CTC Cycleclips.....sorry cant link it

 

[benborp]

I've seen threads on it on

the CTC forum
the "TriTalk" triathlon forum
and UKC, a rockclimbing forum (it does have a rather large off-topic section)

Yes, I am a forum tart.
Would you be interested in links to the threads?

Yeah, go on. May as well be as informed as possible. Thanks.
