Why you shouldn't slap cars

[ianrauk]

Looking at his other videos. He has form for coming off his bike by the looks of things. One of them he jumps off his bike onto the pavement.

A heron in a BMW?

he's not related to that mad bloke on the leccie bike in Brizzle, who used to crash into people on purpose you think?

I have vague recollections of being attended to by a car driving rapid response paramedic, but have no memory of the trip to Stoke Mandeville in the 'ambo'.

The reason you have that space to the left is so that you can move into it when someone close passes you. A perfect example of when to use this space. Instead he goes for a slap on the boot & falls off. The thing is with the action he did, because he was over stretching, he'd probably turn the wheel left making the bike lean to the right... which is the direction he's pushing his weight. A quick way to dismount the bike in a less than graceful manner, as demonstrated

Yes the overtake was poor but the off was entirely the riders own making.

But there is a seperate clip of him chasing the heron

Having just watched a few of his vids, there's some bad cycling, some examples of his emotions getting the better of him, and various fusses over nothing.

Like a lot (Not all) of camera users. They seem to be a gift from God to the types who go out looking for trouble.

Cyclist falls of bike due to lack of skill and blames driver.

Next....

This.

If he would have showed the vid and said something along the lines "yeah I was a bit of a tit trying to slap the car instead of concentrating on riding my bike - lesson learned, albeit the driver needs a bit of a talking to", reactions to it would be very different.

He doesn't want to learn. He isn't self deprecating.

Move on...

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

 

[Drago]

What an utter twunt. And in all that time he didn't look behind once. Should be locked up for his own safety.

 

[raleighnut]

The Saab didn't even get that close to the nobber. Same guy?

 

[blazed]

Yes same guy. He said to the Saab driver straight away something along the lines of his leg being injured. Cyclist version of the drivers who slam their breaks on.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

That guy could fall off a trike if it meant £

The camera is mounted on the bike, not the helmet, so he may have been looking.

Agree with the twunt bit though.
