Doesn't look it to me.
Believe he was in the army at one point, chin straps in the arm are often worn like this, but they are serving a different purpose.
Traffic Droid will be on a new channel 4 program

Although talking about his chin strap is really dull.... I cant resist lol
Do you think if its because there's so much weight on his helmet he'd choke if he wore it properly?

Not to be unkind, he's intelligent and articulate but I don't think he's got all his chairs in the dining room.

But what does he do ? I thought he worked in a achitects, but in these articles he has been a telecoms supervisor and an IT specialist.
Two hours cycling to work, since he moved from Bedford I thought he lived near Chelsea. Which ties in with the clip of him leaving home. Which means he cycles around looking for trouble, but I think we all knew that anyway.

I tried to watch it on catch up..... but I couldn't get past the girl on the buses, if I had continued watching I would have been forced to put my foot (Jean Claude van Damme stylee) through the T.V not an easy task as the tele is mounted 5 foot up the wall.....
If she used the buses less (and walked/cycled) instead of moaning about them she may have been a bit healthier.........................

He wouldn't be the first person I know who extends his rides to work as he enjoys riding.

Does he ever ride just for the sake of it, or get out into the countryside? Or is he always commuting? I've not seen a single video of his that's not in London.

Does he enjoy riding. I never get that impression. He doesn't even post videos of him flying his kite.

Someone said the other day that some of us are cyclists with camears, some are cameramen with a bicycle.

i watched it on catch up last night what made me laugh is she looked at the bus tracker and said there is one due but she couldn't be bothered to run for it. im sorry if but if i have to go somewhere i look to see what times buses are then i leave in plenty of time rather than leaving then looking for times.
and as for droid i respect and understand what he is doing but i think he takes it to far. he is on about cycle/road safety so why is it ok for him to ride around busy streets looking over his shoulder shouting at drivers at one point he had a bus behind and one to the side so he cycles along one handed waving a red card at the bus driver what would happen if he had fallen off i bet he would blame it on the bus. and im sorry but if someone came up to me and shoved a ruler threw my window and started having a go like he dose he would end up with a trip to A&E to get the ruler removed.
he bangs on about rude drivers ect but he gets right in drivers faces and shouts at them what dose he expect. like the bus drivers were told in the bad boy course thing if you talk to folk calm the norm reply calm maybe the traffic droid should attend that course with the bus drivers
stuee
In the the transactional analysis (PAC) terminology of the bus drivers course he oscillates between angry child stamping his foot and controlling parent, never adopting the adult reasoned role
Parent
Physical - angry or impatient body-language and expressions, finger-pointing, patronising gestures,
Verbal - always, never, for once and for all, judgmental words, critical words, patronising language, posturing language.
Child
Physical - emotionally sad expressions, despair, temper tantrums, whining voice, rolling eyes, shrugging shoulders, teasing, delight, laughter, speaking behind hand, raising hand to speak, squirming and giggling.
Verbal - baby talk, I wish, I dunno, I want, I'm gonna, I don't care, oh no, not again, things never go right for me, worst day of my life, bigger, biggest, best, many superlatives, words to impress.
Adult
Physical - attentive, interested, straight-forward, tilted head, non-threatening and non-threatened.
Verbal - why, what, how, who, where and when, how much, in what way, comparative expressions, reasoned statements, true, false, probably, possibly, I think, I realise, I see, I believe, in my opinion.

In TA, modes of communication are key, most of Droid's videos illustrate an Ineffective mode of communication
effective and ineffective modes
Definition of 'Effective'
- By effective, we mean that:a communication is likely to achieve the intended response or result. Information is received, necessary action(s) follow and good relationships are maintained or developed
- communication will (if necessary and desired) be able to continue - either now or later
- each party to the communication, whether they agree with each other (or not) or like each other (or not) maintains an I'm OK, You're OK position.
By ineffective, we mean that any/all of the following apply:
- the intended communication is not understood the person receiving the communication is themselves invited into a "not OK" position or invited to make someone else "not OK"
- communication may be broken in some way and so does not continue, or it escalates to even more discomfort or misunderstanding for those involved. In extreme cases the rift may be permanent
- what needs to be done is less likely to be done - or may be done incorrectly.
