If someone did that to, especially some fat old bloke and then tried to start something, he'd get the hiding of his life. Not run away on the pavement Laughing

I hate these vigilante p[ush bike riders, the van maybe should have given the push bike more room, but the push bike was all over the road, at first I thout it was a motorbike with it's early road position that could go either way as he was in the middle, not somewhere for a push bike.
But if someones threat is " You will be on Youtube" they need a good slap anyway.

What a dickhead. Most of these idiots need to forget about filming everything and just get on with learning to use the road.

All his videos are just him being a cunt, he sees the possible danger and lets it happen, then comes out with some lame remark then rides off before the other person can say anything back. This one made me lol, 'Jayyyzuzzzzz'.
Tries to be all high and mighty with his stupid air horn as well.

Forgive me for being stupid but why is the cyclist in the wrong?
He has just as much right to be on the road as a car and he was in the right lane to go straight ahead the man in the van was just being very impatient driving in the hatched lines which he shouldn't have been never mind overtaking so close to an island when he could have just waited 5 seconds?!

Thumbs Down

He's not in the wrong really, but the reaction is massive to a relatively minor incident - hardly like he was nearly squished

Most sane non militant cyclists would just let it go and get on with their day

anyone read the descriptive titles that came up?


He's in the middle of his lane (as legally entitled to) in order to take the right hand lane at the roundabout to go straight on.

The van pushes past him just before the traffic island, similar to a car driver pulling to the white line as you're filtering.

Staying left through the traffic island is only going to invite people pushing through a very small gap that could result in him being knocked off.


Perhaps the cyclist's rear observations could have been better, see the van coming out onto the chevrons to overtake and brake to allow the overtake to continue (with the driver's attitude it was going to happen anyway) so that it wasn't as close and let the driver get on with it.

I cycle, drive and ride so experience it from all angles. I take the same road position on my pushbikes as I do the motorbike, unless I'm being caught by traffic, at which point, like many others, I pull left to allow traffic past when it is safe.

The approach to a roundabout I wish to turn right on or go straight ahead is not a safe place to do so.

I agree, and he is the type of twat that really gets people backs up. A 'Holier than thou cyclist'. Look at his other videos, he's the same in them as well.

I'd be annoyed about someone barging their way through in that manner and might mutter "blooming hell" but I'd then let him go on his way

The bus that overtook me and started to pull into the kerb when I was just behind the front wheels I put the window through however.

1ft of space between a bus and a storm curb is just going to end badly otherwise.

What an insufferable tit.
He appears to be trying to block vehicles from overtaking by staying further out in the road than need be then complains and reads out registration numbers when they pass safely.

This sums him up.
A woman takes three steps on the road and her misdemeanour is pointed out.
I'm surprised he didn't shout abuse which he is fond of doing at any opportunity.

It's quite funny really "you're not going straight ahead you're going right YOU CUNT" then chases him round the roundabout.
Laughing Laughing

I was kinda 50/50 the van was a little impatient, the cyclist made it out to be a lot worse then it was but the van driver lost is temper pretty easily and made himself look a little silly.

However after watching some of the cyclists other videos I'm siding with the van driver, he is a cunt.

In that video I feel the cyclist was in the right. Van driver was very impatient.

It makes you wonder who is the real danger pon the road, all those individual people or the one that is common in all the clips. He also contradicts himself when he is filtering/ passing parked cars with oncoming traffic.

Why not?


Read at junctions diagram

Drivers should not enter hatched lines unless it is safe to do so, safe to do so IMO is not when:
1: There is an island 15 feet infront of you
2: There is a cyclist to the left of you.

because...

1: If driver did not accelerate fast enough or the cyclist was going faster than driver anticipated to avoid hitting the traffic island the van driver has to swerve either left and knock the cyclist off or right into oncoming traffic.
2: Waiting 5 seconds and not having the above happen is the most logical thing to do.

If you're going to be some cycling vigilante like that, you need to back it up when someone haves a go and not run away like a little bitch!

The car was there in full view with indicator on, but no way was he going to let them over.
Instead he studiously pedals along in the blindspot so he can post another sanctimonious clip - after yelling at them like an obnoxious prick.

Ranty ranty rant 1/10

Meh.

The van driver is a liability on the road. Using the van as a weapon.

As a cyclist and some one who has been amusing myself by riding a ciao round london

https://classic-motorbikes.net/images/gallery/1968_piaggio.jpg

It is really common that people over take you and then go left...the classic left hook.

Why is the difference that its a cyclist instead of a motorcyclist

So skinny little cyclist give it the big man calling out the driver as he drives away, then when the driver takes him up on the offer he runs away sounding quite girly? Laughing

Piss-poor observations on the cyclist's part.
