Why you shouldn't slap cars

[Rouge79]

I love the excuse he was using his hand as a buffer.

Someone needs to explain to him about all the tiny fragile bones in your hand and wrist.

*Lock the rear wheel and skid into the car and let your big bones take the impact. *do not try this at home

Isn't all this car slapping a sign of a repressed Morris dancer?

Oi! there is no such thing as a 'repressed Morris dancer' we are all loud and proud

Looking at another of his videos, he can't control his bike very well anyway.

Indeed. Apparently, another time a heron (Yes, the bird) made him lose control of his bike and he ended up falling off....

I've got absolutely no problem with someone slapping a car that is too close, but you should really only do it if you can stay upright and in control throughout!

The driver was a selfish nob, but the cyclist needs to up his skills if he wants to do that sort of thing, else more injuries will occur.

I think if I did that I'd burn the footage, not stick it up on the internet.

 

[glenn forger]

Yeah but if people call you a knob and you delete their comments you are no longer a knob FACT.

I thought it was the sound of everyone laughing at him!
But it could be some sort of warning alarm, a but like an Airzound, but much, much worse!

I think the noise is edited in later to cover up the swearing / personal details. Scared the crap out of me the first time I watched it.

I like the constant refrain of "It's all on video, I've got you". Says it all, really.

Was that a 999 call he was making? I sincerely hope not.

I came to a stop and fell off like that once. Damned clipless pedals!

 

[Arjimlad]

I had cause to rap my knuckles on the rear pillars of a VW Golf which started edging into the "cycle lane" at the side of a queue of traffic, to alert her to my presence.

The attempt to whack the BMW in this video was after the event, and his hands should have been far better employed braking or moving temporarily to the left.

yeah, I thought it just looked like a clipless moment, I saw no evidence of him actually hitting anything.

 

[Cyclopathic]

If you're going to slap a car, wait until it stops at the lights and then slap it hard on the roof. Then pedal like crazy.

[QUOTE 3337803, member: 45"]He reckons he got "two fractured ribs". Yeah right.[/QUOTE]
More ribs than brain cells then.

 

[User6179]

Either an absolutely awful cyclist or purposely looking for an injury payout.

Frank Spencer is his name , married to Betty

 

[User6179]

That Saab video is ridiculous. WTF is that noise?

The noise is his makak monkey that he carries in his Rucksack warning him of Danger !

 

[Drago]

It's his Twat-O-Meter, which for some strange reason goes doolally every time he opens his mouth.
