[NasasBest]

sweden had left traffic to until sunday 05:00 the 3:rd of sptember 1967 when we did go over to drive where we to this day drive on the right.

great driving. What kind of dohnut was driving the blue rover?

[carocarotho]

When You Say filtering Do You Mean Merging? Is That The Same Thing?

[bluenapalm123]

@carocarotho Filtering is what the Uk peeps call lane splitting, which i think is used by yanks. Its where you ride between cars either moving or stationary. It is legal to do so in the UK. However if you are being wreckless the police will pull you over. For example, if cars are going slowly and you rocket passed, the police will ticket you.

[Serpent0fEden]

aha you clearly have the same problem/hatred for cyclists as I do :P

[bluenapalm123]

@Serpent0fEden hehe, not exactly hatred specifically for them.. just anyone who slows me down.. I try to be considerate, and some cyclists just sit in the middle of the road sometimes.I know they are allowed ot do it, but half a brain would realise its easier to move over to help people to pass.

[electrictactical]

@bluenapalm123 To be fair that cyclist was to the left of that lane and he had to be in that lane because the bus was parked in the other lane. You should of overtaken instead of undertaking.

[bluenapalm123]

@electrictactical Yeah, i am too harsh there.. but i do bark alot in my helmet.. :\

cyclist 1, angry biker 0.

[yabba234]

[bluenapalm123]

@simonhutton1 cb500? why did you say that?

[simonhutton1]

[bluenapalm123]

[Hi675445]

[bluenapalm123]

What do you mean?

[Hi675445]

i am saying no one honk their car horn but in New York City eveone does

[bluenapalm123]

oh right your comment made me think you dont honk.

I dont understand why people beep their horn. Its not like the traffic magically dissappears everytime someone beeps lol.

[Hi675445]

[TheAMVV12]

Literacy fail

[bluenapalm123]

i agree.

[BroadcastUrselfTM]

Hey, what is that metal thing called which is on the London roads and comes down when buses approach nearer but stands there as bars for other cars?

[bluenapalm123]

No idea.

[BroadcastUrselfTM]

Dang! I forgot that term; have been thinking about it for the past 3 days or so. Still haven't found what it is called. Trying every search engines on the Internet.

[bluenapalm123]

Try "traffic bollard"

[BroadcastUrselfTM]

Yep!! that's it.

BOLLARD

Thank you so much. This was the exact word I was trying to find out for the past few days.

[TheAMVV12]

automated bollards

[ImDamagedBadAtBest]

[sweetypie000]

i cycle to work everyday from north london to the city and the polution on the roads - especially from buses make me want to vomit, it is absolutely dreadful

trying to wear one of those Respro masks but they make breathing confined but i'm oging to have to struggle with it.

I gave up smoking for that shit every morning wtf

[bluenapalm123]

Its not too bad on the bike, either i get ahead of the smelly buses and dont suffer it too long, or the visor helps a little. :)

Thanks for the comment

[woollyback1]

Lol overtaken by a bicycle..... Really cool filtering

[kairosan]

sweet view, how did yoyu attept that?

[bluenapalm123]

simply bolted an old crappy 4MP camera to my chin peice. I dont use that method anymore though.

Im using the POV 1.5

[barra2k8]

New subscriber and thanks for teaching me something, avoid London!

[bluenapalm123]

thanks for the sub. yeha hehe, it gets bit hectic at times while commuting. I'll pop a few more vids up using my new recorder.

[MrB1obby]

This makes me WANT to go to london, i love filtering :D

[kevinwafer]

Are you riding a Honda Hornet? Not the narrowest of mirrors! :-)

[bluenapalm123]

Haha, 1:39 you can see me lean the bike back and forth,, thats to fit the mirrors past the taxi and cars mirrors!

Yeah its a hornet.

[kevinwafer]

Good choice of bike! I have one myself though your filtering skills put mine to shame... I always blamed my wide mirrors and handlebars, I can't now ;-)

[bluenapalm123]

Get some vids!!

Where do you ride about? London means its essential to filter ;)

[kevinwafer]

Originally from London but escaped to Nottingham, not quite as chaotic as London but filtering still essential. What camera are you using, price?

[bluenapalm123]

Now i replied already but YT didnt post it.. grrr

My budget was £200 - £250

Camera (DVR) Aiptek 1080HD+

Bullet Camera (dogcamsport) £50

Microphone (dogcamsport, it sucks) £10

Various cables and adaptors used.

Power my bullet cam from bike supply. DVR runs from its own batteries.

Hope this helps.

[Charlie360430]

Why on earth is there a traffic jam before the roundabout, and then the road is clear? Mad traffic policies - no other city in the world is as irritating to drive in as London.

[bluenapalm123]

Road is clear after cause bikes get ahead of traffic. Cause honestly all that traffic i just passed will soon clog up where i shout at the cyclist hehe.

London does suck though. ;)

[kevinwafer]

I notice this phenomenon on my ride to work in Nottingham, as you say car congestion behaves like a moving blockage, once you get past you're free for ages. It's hard to realise that when you're in a car.

[djnieko]

great ride mate

[bluenapalm123]

Cheers :)

[bigcreator]

That cyclist has big bollocks to ride on roads like that. I would hate to be him, mainly because of people like you. I think you were to aggressive around him, you undertook him then nearly take him out, then don't leave much room when overtaking.

[bluenapalm123]

hehe, dont ride in london then, im quite tame considering.

[bluenapalm123]

Yeah it was a friday afternoon on the way home.. How dare the cyclist be in my way hehe!

Thanks for the comment

[XANF2]

nice ride, lol at the cyclist
