Silly Cyclists - Episode 36

[revolutionist14]

I would like to view the full clips from your intro?? are those available or not. where you call the guy silly. thats funny

[revolutionist14]

love the intro hilarious

[thelawnet]

hmm, #8 is not that silly really, bog standard rlj. Turning left on red (or right in their case) is legal in the US if the road is clear anyway. Biggest risk is getting pulled by the police.

I've never heard that before, "Salmon Cyclist", pretty interesting way to describe cyclist that cycle the wrong side of the bike lane.

[nilling]

Salmon cyclists - bad Dad!! :(

Number 6 is the dumbest.

It's great to watch your videos again, gaz :)

[jpoodle]

Love this channel,

[MrBuycycle]

Another great video Gaz, every since watching your first video I'm a much more courteous and careful cyclist. Life span has significantly increased.

[HectorsHouse]

Gaz, both of yours were predictable - the woman on the path was cycling in a straight line (shows confidence and that she knows where she's going); when she began moving, that was as good an indication as any that she was going to go to that path.

And the second one; you can see the cars turning into the road slowing down when they got onto the road; add a taxi, and you can quite quickly see that that car might stop...

As you say, all of us make mistakes, but I'm surprised at these ones.

[CycleGaz]

@HectorsHouse It's easy to see everything unfolding on video, a little harder in real life, if you miss a few things then it can result it crashing. Like I said I missed a few things.

[HectorsHouse]

@CycleGaz Indeed Gaz, indeed. They just took me by surprise given you're knowledge. On paths I always try to look out for paths criss-crossing onto the main one and just hang back if i'm not sure about another's actions... was being over critical at the second one. I do also know we're all human - a point reiterated to me a couple of times when I made a similar error to the one at #1 today! I had quite a bit slice of humble pie... no offence taken, I hope?

[CycleGaz]

@HectorsHouse On the path, the turning she took is not one you can cycle down, that is why it took me by surprise.

No offence taken at all, I openly post my mistakes and admitted that I didn't see xyz.

[dronespace]

N2 was insane, almost got squashed by the bus!

[MrMarafi]

Finally Gaz, i was getting worried if nobody was sending you a video or something. Majoirty of the silly cyclists happens around me! lol Well done for the videos and thank you!

[CycleGaz]

@MrMarafi I was just having a break :)

[DRGeoduck]

Based on the "groan" meter (which cyclist made me groan the loudest at their silliness), this edition's "winner" is number 2. Should never have been next to that bus, and even when it was clear he wouldn't overtake, still didn't slow down enough to get safely behind the vheicle.

[jaydenakasha]

recognised #9 as indooroopilly, brisbane instantly :p

[GMSamuelRhine]

lol i see a lot of people doing number 10, i find it's better to get pegs for the back axle instead

[pumpkinzer0]

Number 2: what was going through his mind?

[ToWriteForPosterity]

@pumpkinzer0 Probably that he needed a number 2.

[TheRealEmskiHelp]

I am on my journey to the first episode :D keep them coming. I like the Hyde Park clip.. I love that Cycle path. Me and a friend have drag races on there when it's empty. Check out my bike on my videos in case you see me about.

[thefireuk]

Can't believe you are now crashing your own bike just to get that number 1 slot ;)

[CycleGaz]

@thefireuk You gotta do what you gotta do.

[sillycyclists]

@ribblestealth aaah sorry, my speakers aren't turned up very high so it sounded fine to me.

[ribblestealth]

turn your mic down a bit gaz! :D :D
