@E17bikes Lentil drinking? I know that at least three of the people filming in this episode are rather keen petrolheads and who don't ride for the environment at all, but because it's better, faster, and more fun.
There was a narrow road and I was going a bit slow and I noticed this car thinking about overtaking so I upped the pace and pedalled really fast to allow the car to go faster behind me until the road widened, but it kept going rev rev rev as it couldn't wait to get past!
On another note, I have been guilty of passing lorries on the left (UK), and exceeding speed limits on downhill, but not running red lights or cutting people up. I tend to ride as if I were a motorcycle in town.
Mikey was in Hype park. Oh my i get worried that someone is going to film me doing something wrong and not tell me! Well done Gaz keep the videos coming! Sadly for me i only cycle to the station i need to get to and back. Though, i wanted to ask any fellow cyclists what precautions would you take cyclying in the park at the night? I understand light front and back. Is it safe to cycle in a park at night? What do you think? Any advice or suggestion reply please!
@marafi Depends which park, if it's known for having dodgy people in (drug takers etc..) then it may be best avoided. A good set of lights to see with and you will be fine
@sillycyclists Very true on that maybe safer going on the busy roads at night. If it was not for the silly kids in my area then hopefully things will change. Many thanks for your reply Gaz. Oh and keep up with the videos its good to learn loads especially for fellow cyclists!
@marafi i cycled through Richmond park at night once. some ppl walk on the road and is very hard to see them and could end up swerving or worse, colliding.
dont do it unless park is well lit or u have really bright lights. cycle safe :)
Number One truly deserves his rating.The type of cyclist that along with RLJs, that makes everyone think we all ride like this.Great selection once again.
@mellowNdark Why shouldn't we? We have an interest in improving behaviour on the roads, not just for safety, but also to make it a more pleasant place for everyone. This series is excellent, and many many riders have commented how it has changed their own behaviour.
Let's face it, we all make mistakes and do silly things once in a while. The camera, YouTube, and other peoples' viewpoints are a pressure cooker of roadcraft and learning. Brilliant for us all.
i got a clip you can use if its worthy, go my channel about the 10th one down called "bad drivers caught on camera aug 6th 2011" and start about the :57 mark, crappy camera and crappy music but your welcome to use it if youd like
I hold my hands up to being guilty of riding faster than I should in most situations, but atleast Im fair and take notice of other road users around me, which gives me the time to stop, think ahead ect. That guy in the park was just a straight up dickhead.
With the exception of #1 who almost nails that kid, I don't think these moves are any big deal for a skilled rider. Reminds me of that George Carlin joke about traffic - everyone going faster than you is an ass, and everyone going slower than you is an ass.
@freewheel5 It doesn't matter how good you are, accidents happen to the best of us. They're called accidents for a reason.
Sure, a more technically sound cyclist may be less prone to certain things, but there's always a chance and it's better to never have a chance of being in a sticky situation than to be in a sticky situation and risk everything.
@freewheel5 Even no. 1 appears a fairly skilled cyclist to me. Good bike control. The problem with most of these riders, and no. 1 especially, is bad anticipation, bad judgement, and bad attitude, IMO.
The Hyde park guy needs to slow it right down. You cant be going over 6-10mph in places like that (eg a joggers speed). Thought he was going to ride into a kid for a second.
Fully agree that guy @#1 is a prize tool. There is no need to be riding that fast on a shared use path, let alone one with children around and expect THEM to take evasive action!!
@smith34n Well it's a Polish surname so I only had my parents to rely on initially. They taught me it's script-chick. Since then I've met a few Polish people at school and now in work who have said there is more empathise on the z's to make it sound more like scriz-chik.
I also picked up the rough translation which is violin man :-) Odd as I'm in no way musical.....
As for the username on here is was a bit of a fail on my part as I didn't use my normal online handle of "Bassjunkieuk"
Silly cyclist no 4 - he set off while pedestrians were still using the crossing. Road users must wait until the crossing is completely clear before setting off.
@PeowPeowPeowLasers@PeowPeowPeowLasers Not true. Cyclists must accord precedence to pedestrians on the crossing. Obviously use common sense and do not get too close but passing behind a pedestrian is NOT prohibited
#1 I inline skate up and down there a lot and with all the kids about you just have to go slow. Lots are not from the UK so just need that extra space. There are roads at the top and bottom of Hide park if you what to go fast.
@CyclingMikey I hope he does, his behavior was disgusting, he needs to learn to ride a bicycle properly around people, otherwise people are going to get hurt.
you cyclists are so lucky, there is loads of you on the roads, when i cycle to work and back about 10miles i am lucky if i see more than one other cyclist.
Running a red in plain sight of an officer of the law. Just shows you how little attention the cyclist was paying. Police dont exactly try and hide when they're in high vis jackets.
i hope the no.1 silly cyclist stumbles across this it would be so good.

@freewheel5 What makes a skilled rider? How many cyclists are skilled riders?
In my opinion a skilled rider wouldn't get them selves into most of these situations.
