Those 2 scumbag bullys looked like total cretins when that cyclist was running rings around them.

They claim they don't have the resources to deal with low level crime then they spend what much have been the best part of an hour picking on someone for no lights on a pushbike.

Cowardly little men.

even if he was pissed he still gave them all there history and made them look the idiots

When that other guy was talking to that Primrose or Precious or whatever she was called, an old woman cycled past with no lights! Made me laugh.

That cyclist got done for £915 quid in the end though!!!!!

Dam missed the program, though l did get called a dickhead by a traffic copper in hampstead for "legally" filtering past him in stationary traffic today so already infuriated enough by there behavior.

Decent light set for town riding: £35-£50
Rear reflector/front reflector: free on bike at point of sale
Anticipating lights before you get to them:£0 it's an easy skill to pick up

Failing to do all 3 and then pissing off the coppers (who were going to let you off with a slapped wrist) by starting a holier than thou rant: ~£1000

I just don't like wasting my money, time or effort, nor risking not being seen at night in a city when there are inattentive cage drivers around.

Bloke .. perspective .. bigger picture .. ffs .... earlier i saw some USA gimps paying a measly 10,000 dollars for bombing / killing 3 little girls/sisters and their mother in Afghan ....

Then we have you wearing your high vis vest and being smug at 900 quid for someone going home drunk on a bike instead of a car that weighs a ton ...

FFS ... whilst he would of been better off complying ... if we all complied as such to the filths manipulation of democracy, it would just further their over and unjustified egos into more nanny shite ...

The biker with the flip reg .. prison ... in other words, no one else try to avoid paying speeding fines on empty roads ....

And Bloke suggests man of and of the streets, not some hi vis stuck up twat applauding such injustice shown on TV let alone whats not shown ...

If you get knocked of your bike in the dark with no lights, then it's mainly your fault ... not paying 900 quid because you have not been hit, or pandered to filths ego ...

My only thought on it, was that there was no reflector .. and that he should of just stuck to the pavement ...

The police were OK with the guy who's plate fell off on the M25

They even let him ride away with the new plate taped to the pillion seat

The guy on the bike certainly made it worse for himself, however, those particular cops did show what petty little men they really can be if you dont 'yes sir no sir' for the sake of their daily power trip.

Yes he was wrong not to have lights, and wrong to get all arsey with them. It was still over the top though.

I'm disgraced by the whole episode. Popcorn and beer at the ready, i was expecting to be on the bike special.

But no, the bike special turns into some guy trying to get into the country on the bottom side of a truck, some random woman pretending she's someone else and a cyclist daring to stand up to the man...

Where the fuck was my blat down king offa? Selfwish wanky bastards, thats all I can say.

I hope it gets shown on one of the other ones after actually telling people about it, bunch of cunts.

Rant over, i'll get off my soapbox and go do some work!

I watched it and laughed at the cyclist. "havent you got anything better to do?" and later on the police man said "at the time we didnt"

So situation normal there!

I did notice some of the vid feeds had 2009 on the brighton bike parts so they were showing last years run it seemed. So robbie, give it a year and you might be on tv.

Hi

Sounds like a good example of why I avoid watching such shows. Voluntarily watching someone with a seriously bad attitude deal with someone else with a seriously bad attitude appeals about as much as DIY open heart surgery.

All the best

Thanks Hetz, I was not looking forward to having to make a rebuttal to his ridiculous claim. I was going to go for a more far-fetched extension of his idea to make him look ridiculous but I am happy with what you went with . I was going to protect speeding rather than cycling :p

[defblade]

I wear hi-viz on the motorbike when the weather's shitty, and my pushbike goretex jacket is dayglo orange so same there. I don't do it because I'm holier than thou, I do it because I drive as well, I know how visible bikes of any sort are in poor conditions, and I imagine that coming together with a big metal box will hurt (me, mostly). So that's my disclaimer out of the way.



Drunk bloke wasn't that drunk, as he said. Just drunk enough to ride like a prat past a police car. Although it's probably no different to when he's sober.

He could have licked a bit of butt and probably got nothing (and he was in the wrong - just for lights if nothing else); he could have accepted he was wrong eventually and had the FPN; but he had to go to court and argue.... and he was wrong.

Didn't look like he couldn't afford lights either - looked like a nice bike, and I reckon that fine was means tested.

I'm sure if the plod wanted to be really arsey, they could have pulled him in, or taken his bike off him. I thought they gave him as much chance as they could, in the face of his behaviour.




The rules here are quite simple and it's in cyclists' interests to follow them - it's not the car/bus/lorry that suffers. Also, it'd save all the massive time and effort etc for all the emergency services who have to come and scrape up the bits, the people who are held up as the road's closed for hours, the inquest etc etc etc


The only thing in my mind is that it's a bit rough that they picked on him when there's thousands of others the same - and that's just on bikes - but that's how it has to be unless we have police on every road (or people start giving a shit about the law).




BTW - the car driver with no lights probably said "sorry officer, I just realised, oh my god" and got sent on their way. That's not arse licking: it's realising you've made a mistake, admitting it, apologising and hopefully try not to do it again. It's a grown-up thing. If the police were arseholes, they could have ignored that and booked them as well - but didn't. Which is one grown-up recognising another. The cyclist was a 40 year old child.
