As bus drivers, we're not worried about the couriers, they know their game. Those we're more worried about is the female office workers on bikes and the odd hood rat who decide to bring his bike to central London once a year. They are the danger

[TheKofinyarko]

I was driving a 388 double Decker bus and this accident happened about 3 or 4 minutes before i got to Carmomine street/ wormwood junction. saw flashing blue lights ahead of me. FIVE 'O and ambulances was just arriving as well. Looked on my right, there was Herry just behind the back wheel face down. ambulance chap run and turned him over and started performing CPR, copper shook his head and the look on their faces from a distance said it all. Had to drive off as i was holding traffic. RIP SIR

[kentcyclist]

WHY DID THE Logistics guy say several hundred London cycle couriers are killed each year ?. What a lieing dick head. That means the equivalent of all his staff are killed every 6 months. Stupid moron

I blame Boris Johnson for doing absolutely nothing to keep cyclist safe in the London.

I cycle 2 times a day 5 days a week and it is hell out there. Really dangerous. You take your life in your hands.

[manmaas]

R.I.P. Henry - I'd disagree with the guy's comment regarding defensive cycling, I've always felt an aggressive attitude has kept me safe over the years.

[invade81]

@manmaas I agree, I ride a bicycle like I used to ride a moped. Ive seen my life flash before me a couple of times but not as many times as Ive seen others nearly get flattened while they're hugging the kerb and playing nice.

[invade81]

RIP Henry Warwick.

See you guys on Friday.

[wehavevisiondottv]

Saw Henry around loads. An absolutely tragic waste. My condolences.

[Lucassandro25]

btw, isn't using a GPS system much easier to use instead of a paper map as a bike messenger?

[TheRealEmskiHelp]

@Lucassandro25 Yes and no. It's what you prefer.

[pauloluisimo]

Where does this cunt get off on saying 300/400 a year? Fucking idi

ot

[MitchellCawte0]

i bet they scouted for people with ridiculously strong British accents, no one in england sounds like that ahaha

[Lucassandro25]

@MitchellCawte0 yea even I found those accents funny compared to the regular british accent

[122ffsdd]

tt bars and no extra tubes, that guy cant be an actual courier

[MrPaperclip82]

im also a courier, i love my job!! :)

[barberahlovesolly1]

400 hundred deaths, yeah thats more than one a day.

[barberahlovesolly1]

@barberahlovesolly1 yeah its probably accidents, other wise this will be the most dangerous job in the world

[gtk477]

Henry,the Boycie of cycle couriers!

[CocoChaia]

Why do they blur out the Bianchi-logo _only_ at 3:23 ?

[jazziestge0ff]

the toughest jobs owwooot there lol

[someone1771]

He's incredibly unfit.

[smithysrat]

It's nice to know that Rico speak as much bullshit on the telly as they do on the phone....."300 cyclists die"......"your courier will be there in five minutes"

[dwjp]

13 cyclists died in London in 2009. that 400 a year stat is nonsense

[altodykes1987]

@dwjp Spidey sense was definitely tingling when I heard that.

[gtk477]

@dwjp Probably meant 400 accidents,not deaths.

[williamn6133]

@dwjp "In 2008, 15 cyclists were killed, 430 were seriously injured and a further 2,757 cyclists sustained slight injuries while cycling on London's roads. In 2009 there were 13 fatalities, there were also 398 serious injuries and 2,998 slight injuries in the period from January to November 2009."

[williamn6133]

I have had 1 puncture in 5 years of London cycling. How do people get so many?

[invade81]

@dwjp yeah - I was shocked when he said 400. I guess 13 doesn't sound as good for TV.

[dfpguitar]

@dwjp

He was probably quoting total cyclist deaths. But the fact that the very experienced Henry got wiped out tells you how common it is.
