The roundabout was stupid, but happens more and more. The bikes were all morons that day and shouldn't have been allowed on the roads but the car? That was just silly. Did the non-stop biker get caught on camera in the end?
Nah your riding seems fine, Roundabout was just a total ignorant wanker and the squeeze was down to cyclists riding next to eachother rather than in single file, this pisses me off no end.
@glenben92 I always value peoples opinions, maybe learn something to help avoid incedents in the future, thats why I asked if my riding was at fault.
There was a biker killed on that roundabout a month ago by a lorry doing the same thing. Poor sod never stood a chance :-( is why I now hold that tighter line coming up to that merge of the roundabout, to give myself a chance.
If people can learn from watching a video, instead of learning it the hard way on the road when its to late, job done :-)
I don't know what it is about roundabouts lately, but people seem to have forgotten how to use them. The car overtaking the cyclists was a moron, even had you not just overtaken that other car, he'd have been hard pushed to get back in in time meeting that car. Ride safe mate.
@extreme601 phh my arse lol was a few moments worth sharing on a ride out. dab of the old slow motion so you can actually see what I'm on about and bam, job done :-)
Good observation, looking ahead saved you mate good riding, pat on the back for you :) Quality of some car driving at the moment is beyond poor! As for the cyclists, I am lost for words!
@psychotheed every time I get kitted up, I am getting ready to avoid idiots. We have to ride for the idiots on the road, try and give ourselves the best chance of being seen, and are prepared to take appropriate avoiding action every time we fire up our bikes. It's a dangerous world out there full of idiots. ride safe mate :-)
@ToastToGo indeed mate, if we had the same width and speed of changing direction as a cage, I'm sure many of us would have been fucked a long time ago. ride safe dude :-)
@Crystalinalake cheers :-) check out the song 'Slow Gin' by Joe Bonamassa. Probably up there with Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd as 1 of my favourite songs of all time
Ahah some grand moments there man especially the "mind the gap" one.

You were better behaved than I would have been if that bike overtake happened to me, he would have got the bird for that!

@OoxTruExoO my thoughts exactly mate. It's a shame that a nice ride out can be completely tainted by the many morons using the roads these days
