It's used for cycle-jousting - there is a monthly tourney on Pall Mall. Fancy not knowing that!

It's allowed if you're a "harmless eccentric".

[QUOTE 2982789, member: 4"]This bloke, in the other hand, does have some issues....

[/QUOTE]
Rather than blaming I think Id be embarrased If I came off like that.

Back to TD, I dont seek out his videos to watch and I must admit he craics me up. Looking at the video with the bus though, although the first incident is trivial if it sparked that 2nd potentially fatal incident, and I'm pretty sure it did, that driver deserves to be sacked

 

[ianrauk]

I actually feel sorry for the chap. It's obvious he was deeply effected by the near miss he had and of which was documented on that TV programme. But the thing is, he has taken his self policing to the extreme, believing his own 'Traffic Droid' publicity. OK I laughed at the tape measure and red card video above, but in another video (one of many) he berates a car driver for a minor indiscretion by having his front wheels a foot over the white line. The driver hasn't caused anyone grief or is causing a danger to anyone but still Traffic Droid does all the pointing, red card and hassling thing.

I ride my bike on my commute because I enjoy it. I wish Traffic Droid could enjoy his too. Perhaps he does, I don't know. But with the multitude of mounted bike and body cameras, his red card, his measuring tape and his all round attitude to trying to uphold the law I fear not. And that is a shame.

The 'one way street' guy looks like a big fella but one day he is going to meet a bigger fella......... If you get my drift

He certainly gets very angry....when a shake of the head and a muttered what a Numpty would have sufficed.....

I was saying hey. but he ignored me

Right, fine, I'll use my mate Steve. Despite his imposing height, he's a complete pussy. He's also learning to drive and has made some mistakes. If TD steamed up to him like that he'd feel intimidated, scared and threatened. To cover other bases, I've got a couple of trans-gender friends who would feel the same. My point has nothing to do with gender, rather the sight of an imposing guy bellowing up to you on the side of the road and how it might make you feel, and how others might consider cyclists as a collective.

I have a bite. By god it's a wopper.
Mentioning transgenders ,anyone remember that transgender bellend biker from Bradford who is on youtube. Thread about him\her a while back

Just think he didn't put 2 and 2 together mate, I saw the video, it was like "I should know who this is, but I don't remember so just keep moving"

Was a bit odd though.
