  • Like to class myself as a stealth cyclist .. you wont even know i was there ...i very rarely travel on the roads as we are blessed in Sheffield with nice wide footpaths and a great cyclepath network , i dont believe cycles have a place on modern roads , even with the best intentions from both parties (drivers and cyclists), the outcome of an accident for the cyclist could always have fatal consequences .

  • If I was the bus driver...this guy's family 'd be getting some insurance money...

  • Он в рюкзаке вез Олимпийский огонь в Лондон !

  • rogerhuk, Continued. The main point I was trying to make however was not the Hiviz but some form of registration or identification number so that irresponsible cyclists could be identified and brought to task. Personally I think this should be on Hiviz but it could also be on the bike provided that every bike was then nationally registerd. I just think it would be less of an administrative nightmare for each rider to be registered and show personal identification. We've to do both as car drivers

  • @NeilBayliss22 would this scheme also include 6 year olds on their mini BMXs?

  • rogerhotuk. We are agreed on at least one point as I whole heartedly agree better positioning by cyclists would improve their visibility but only if they are visible. Having seen many cyclists wearing dark clothing at night I still say they that hiviz should be a legal requirement. Yes it is official livery that I chose for my driving school car and before any comment yes I do try to teach my pupils to have respect for cyclists and give them plenty of room they've just as much right on the road.

  • @NeilBayliss22 even your day-glow car wont show-up at night. its reflective materials that stand-out at night, not hi-viz.

    Anyway, if you have "seen many cyclists wearing dark clothing at night" then they can hardly have been invisible...

  • rogerhotuk Are you one of these irresponsible cyclists who want to break the law then? Or are you prepared to take responsibility for your own safety and make yourself easily visible instead of just blaming the motorists? Yes I know the motorist is sometimes in the wrong and should be brought to task when they are but so should the cyclist. For your information my car has dayglow stripes down both sides and front and rear, so you now need to start wearing hiviz don't you.

  • @NeilBayliss22 There is no legal requirement to wear hi-viz so no-one is "breaking the law" if they choose not to wear it. IMO, the best way for cyclists to make themselves more visible is through better road positioning rather than dressing-up as a bin man.

    Day-glow stripes on a car make it sound like some kind of official livery...

  • This is why it should be law for cyclists to have to wear high viz with an identification/registration number. Those who are responsible cyclists would have nothing to fear while those like this idiot would be able to be identified and prosecuted. It would make the irresponsible ones realise that they are responsible for their actions and can be held accouintable for them. At the moment they are the only road users who have immunity from the law due to anonimity it has to end.

  • @NeilBayliss22 tell you what, you paint your car day-glow yellow and I'll start wearing hi-viz

  • What's hilarious is that the cyclist riding dangerously is only a few meters ahead of the ones riding safely. Not really worth it.

  • Он правильно поступил, что не стал остонавливаться, а продолжал крутить педали и кружится по-часовой (шоссер !), не портя тем самым себе сердце !.........В отличие от велосипедистов в шлемах !.....Не путай, кому можно без шлемов ездить !.......Учись !

  • Stupid cyclist, but nice girls in London at the beginning of the clip!

  • you're all a fucking nightmare, you should all be banned from the road! The more I can mow down the better!

  • Funny how you are focused on the ladies legs more than anything else before the red light jumper turns up. Good work. :-)

  • @TheLiquidKnight I was simply checking-out the opposing set of lights, honest ;-)

  • Why he's an idiot?

  • @SebasArielStern Blue shorts and hasn't got the legs to pull the look off.

  • Genial como tienen el pavimento marcado para las bicicletas!!!! Una lastima que esos ciclistas no lo utilicen.

  • your the idiot

  • its so strange watching your guys cyclist videos. the majority of you are good riders and seem to obey the law. i live in the suburbs so you really dont see cyclists to much except kids but when you do its anarchy. they drive on everyside of the road, never stop for red lights, on the sidewalk cut in and out of traffic pass on both sides.... you get the point so they exist everywhere i guess

  • He has as much riding skill as he has buying tastful clothes

  • One of these days I will open my fucking passenger door as I pass cyclists. they're the black plague of the roads where i am. they come out in herds and are in the lanes. not in the shoulder or on the sidewalk. the fucking roads. and then I'm the asshole when I pass them and im too close for comfort. fucking blow me cyclists of the world. fuck this state for being "cyclist friendly"

  • @sjjdiienno1 woah man .. cool it.

    cyclist arent supposed to cycle on the sidewalk anyway, and they are allowed to cycle in any lane if they dont prevent the regular flow of traffic. now im pretty sure youve had a few bad experiences with some but i doubt that every cyclist is going out of thier way to intentionaly screw with you.

    do you think im a 'bad cyclist'?

  • @sjjdiienno1 If the roads are narrow, it's safer for cyclist to take the lane. You change lanes to overtake them.

  • lights were on amber to green whilst cyclist was moving across junction after first bus, the second bus was at fault!

  • @networkterror the second bus stopped, was not parked in the yellow zig zags, and had left the junction free for motorists to pass through. was causing no obstruction so was not breaking any law. show to the police n see if im right x

  • @slash77200 so the cars on the opposite site of the road, using there horns at 00:30 were not being obstructed no?

  • after he's learnt how to use the road safely maybe he could get a bike that fits him. I hope all cyclists watching this agree with me; that this man isn't a cyclist, he's just some idiot on a bike

  • the particularly silly part is that the gain from these dodgy manoevres is almost nothing.

  • fuckink cyclist wanker

  • RUN HIS ASS OVER!!!!!!!

  • You think this is an exception?! Out of the 5 cyclists seen in the video, 3 of them were blatantly contravening traffic laws. Maybe you should change the video title to "Idiots on bikes".

  • Your right what a mupit...

  • @no1focusst muppet

  • So London cyclists are filming their daily commutes now "just in case?"

  • BAD BOY :)

  • Was the Idiot on the Bike is the guy who's actually filming? :))) It's ABNORMAL for city cyclist to obey traffic laws and signals.

  • stop by the police

  • his gonna get killed if he contueis that kind of riding

  • The behavior of that person is the typical behavior of cyclists, not the exception. If traffic stops at a red and bikes also do, drivers are much more friendly towards cyclists.

  • @fractalsphere that's not the experience I have. most cyclists I see stop at red. RLJ'ers are the minority of my daily commute

  • @rogerhotuk I'm in Chicago and I see literally 95 out of 100 bicyclists deliberately blow through red lights if they have a chance, go the wrong way down busy downtown streets, and I've personally witnessed several bicycle/pedestrian accidents where the pedestrian gets knocked down and the bicyclist flees the scene of an accident.

  • @rogerhotuk Thats bollocks, this was taken at blackfriars just up from the bridge and I work there and see this all the time. Cyclists are the most dangerous road users and this is coming from someone who walks to work (Herne Hill to Blackfriars and back, a 8km journey each day). It is only because you are flavour of the month that no action is taken against cyclists dangerous road use.

  • @michaellynn8 yup, i cycle through here twice a day, five days a week. I am not saying that all cyclists are saints but most do stop for the lights.its a nasty junction for cyclists and pedestrians, esp now the crossing has been removed.

  • @rogerhotuk In Sydney Australia it is actually surprising to see a cyclist stop at a red light, it's got so bad they have weekend police crackdowns on it now and issue hundreds of tickets over a couple of days

  • @michaellynn8 The evidence just does not back up your assertion that cyclists are the most dangerous road users. In London they killed precisely 0 pedestrians last year. Motorists kill about two a week, a quarter of which are children.

    This tells me that cycling should be encouraged, & action should be taken against motorists dangerous road use. You're more likely to be killed or injured by a fellow pedestrian than a cyclist. Holland - best pedestrian safety record in europe- tons of cyclists.

  • @michaellynn8 You say that "cyclists are the most dangerous road users"?? How many people are being killed or seriously injured by cyclists a year? How many people are killed or seriously injured by cars each year? Of course cyclists have to ride properly, no doubt about that...but your statement seems to be all about feelings and wery little about facts!

  • @rogerhotuk id say about half the cyclists i see dodge red lights, half don't

  • @rogerhotuk dont chat shit. "most" = 3 out of hundreds? EVERY fucking time i cross the road i get into a fisty cuff with some stupid prick cyclist who doesnt understand when he uses the ROAD he falls under the highway code and has to STOP at a red light on a pedestrian crossing so people like me can cross the road. the worst time was when i was crossing the road and a cyclist hit me full force on the leg. HE then had the nerve to complain i got in his way when light was red for him.

  • @fractalsphere If that's typical, then why are all the other cyclists in the video stopped at the reds except him? Close your ignorant fucking mouth you stupid twat.

  • @CptSchmidt Because if you'd bothered to read my comments you'd see I was commenting about typical bicyclist behavior *IN CHICAGO*! Don't call other people ignorant while so clearly demonstrating your ignorance to the world.

  • @fractalsphere I think this is true for some drivers - but other drivers are pissed that you're so slow to start off from a stand-still as a cyclist and VERY unfriendly, revving up behind you as much as possible. tbh, I cycle and drive and understand both POV. someone needs to make a special separate road for cyclists so I don't have to fear for my life (on a bike) or fizz with anger (in a car)... a road without potholes. what a beautiful dream.

  • the cunt deserves death.

  • @replyandyousuckballs bit harsh don't you think?

  • @rogerhotuk No. You ever been hit by one of these fucks? By which I mean not, "Cyclists", in general, but, "Cunts who cycle"? They are not always the same thing. Cyclists, in general, are fairly cool, I guess. Cunts who cycle, however, are stupid bitch fucks, who fuck up life for everybody and cause accidents with their sickening attitude and disregard. For those reasons, they deserve the death and maiming they bring on themselves. If they don't take anyone else with them, fuck 'em.

  • @rogerhotuk nice helmet the guy is wearing... he deserves everything he is looking for....

  • Traffic lights are there because of motor traffic, so why do cyclists have to be penalised ?

    Near me there is a incredibly busy 5 way junction with no lights, but there are no problems or dangers. Why ? Because it is a busy pedestrian / cycle junction with no motor traffic.

    Oh and how many of these 'holier than thou' motorists never break the law ? Well I will tell you now, 80% of motorists ADMIT to breaking the speed limit on a regular basis, so who is the real danger on the roads ?

  • @spike200965 don't forget that traffic lights also provide pedestrians with an opportunity to cross the road. the cyclists I see RLJ'ing are typically looking out for cars but they should also be checking for peds...

  • The arrogance of some cyclists never fails to amaze me-there total disregard for the rules of the road is just typical of the me me me attitude of alot of people today

  • @karateandy - I've lost count of the number of times pedestrians step out in front of me without looking.

  • I see that EVERYDAY walking to work through London. And I've lost count of the times I've had to jump out of the way because cyclists think it's OK to cuts the lights via the pavement.

    Cyclists get a bad name because the vast majority are complete tools.

  • @karateandy76 Agree that people who ride like this give cyclists a bad name. However, these type of riders are the in minority (its usually the newbies you see RLJ'ing). The vast majority of cyclists I see on a daily basis stop for lights and stay off the pavements etc.

  • @karateandy76 Perhaps it's the majority of Londoners who are complete tools, after all these cyclists are Londoners

  • which one is the idiot?

  • Man I actually miss those junctions :( Their utter lack of planning for peds and cyclists. The angry cabbies. The sheer number of concrete trucks bustling around Blackfriars station. Every manhole cover and pothole between carefully memorised traffic light sequences. Good times.

  • Does that person realise that's a city road?!

  • There is an apt description for cyclists without a helmet - "organ donors"

  • He'll get killed one day if he aint careful!

  • Comment removed

  • fucking cyclists

  • Oh geeze you're right... that shade of green is awful.

  • Hey may be riding a single speed, or trying out SPDs for the first time. That explains the circles he did, because he may have fallen off otherwise. Why do you film your commutes anyway?

  • @CHINSoHOLIC No sign of foot retention in the clip. A more likely explanation is that he couldn't be arsed to stop.

    The main reason for recording is in case of accidents or incidents. Camera is there as a potential witness

  • @rogerhotuk ... you don't necessarily need straps or so you call "foot retentions" on a fixie. he's definitely on a fixie you can tell the way he skid. also he's circling around because he can't do a track stop.

  • @idkyoo he free-wheels through the first junction so don't think he is riding fixed. looks like a geared bike to me.

    riding fixed without some form of foot retention (clips or clip-less) is possible but not advised if you are using your legs to brake.

  • @rogerhotuk it seems that you are correct i did look at the video once more and found as he was circling his feet were not in constant motion. he is just a big douche rider then... =/

  • @idkyoo stop talking like you know. its not a fixed gear.

  • @NeirinCedric you just don't talk..?

  • Comment removed

  • @idkyoo He most definitely is not riding a fixed, the big clue is the derailleur and gear cable loop visible at 0:17. Just lazy cycling IMO.

  • @idkyoo hes not on a fixie because he stops pedalling when hes going round in a circle hes just eager to get on his way

  • running red lights is awesome , you try riding fixed gear and stopping on a dime. running red lights is a must!

  • well, if we're lucky he'll get hit and killed and therefore unable to breed more idiots?

  • @Drobium77 Unfortunately it seems that it's law abiding cyclists that get killed in London, not idiots like this.

  • where is the idiot ? :| I dont see any ....

  • at least: he's faster.

  • Looks pretty standard?

  • At least those idiot cyclists don't pollute the environment.

  • @uramovski yeah they do, they use electricity and gas and coal and buy things etc..

  • @Drobium77 A bicycle, once purchased, becomes the world's most efficient form of transportation, bar none.

  • Bike riders, this is why we hate you.

  • this idiot deserves to get run over, maybe then he wouldn't do stupid shit like this. people like him are the reason cyclists are treated like shit by a lot of motorists

  • @0snakebite nah he would continue to do it and instead try and sue whoever ran him over saying it was their fault.

  • im longing for the day i see a cyclist jump a red light and get slammed into the air .. i cant wait

  • All cyclists in lycra are twats.....period!

  • really idiot

  • WHAT A MORON!

  • does pedal bikers not realise they have a highway code to follow too ?

  • @wolfe1970 uh-huh. what parts of the HC do you wanna bring up?

  • @rogerhotuk Oh you know... trivial things like stopping at red lights.

  • @willyg1965 Which is surely the point RogerHotUK is raising ;-)

  • @rogerhotuk errr running red lights for starters !!

  • its nothing wrong with the way tht guy riding, you are idiot 4 posting it and keep your nose of others business,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • @kodo376 Are you completely retarded? He ran 2 red lights then started circling around like a complete ass. I think it's you that's the idiot.

  • @kodo376 Nothing wrong with it? Aside from the unlawful nature of the episode, which is at the very least £120 in fines if prosecuted. Also, riding a bicycle dangerously is a criminal offence and thus can carry a prison sentence. Finally, if this cyclist was to cause an accident, he would be liable for the damages, which he is most likely not insured for, nor likely to be able to pay out of his own pocket, given he wont even fork out for a helmet.

  • @kodo376 He broke the law, caused consternation with the bus driver and the pedestrian. Its illegal even if he does mostly risk himself. He also didnt get very far doing it.

    Proper cyclists at the least frown upon it, many discourage others from doing it.

  • i dont get what this video is even about? the guy didnt do anything dangerous at all! especially compared to a lot of the videos you see of london couriers etc. note that at the end all of the cyclists did exactly the same, this is just how you cycle in a city if you want to get anywhere!

  • Is that cyclist in the green taking the piss? Not only does he run the red light, but he starts doing circles. Then 2 more cyclists run the red light.

  • @SumthinMstBAvailable aye, running reds is usually the sign of a beginner cyclist

  • @rogerhotuk Beginner cyclist? who the fuck are you, Chris Hoy? I began cycling at around 3 I think that can be considered beginner

  • Typical cyclist cunt...get a bus pass

  • when i cycle, i ride through reds, cut in and out and act like a general idiot because i can, "Its a shame though that the actions of the few create a problem for the rest of us" bite me btw i drive too so i know how annoying cyclists are

  • To be honest, I would have filmed the slutty brunette with the tight grey skirt a bit more.

  • i could only notice the 3 sexy ladys :)

  • what the fuck is he doing? goes through a red light, nearly hitting a woman, then decides to go round in a circle and continue across the busy road

  • he is uber cool ! cheers for the man on the bike , and btw he is not idiot , he just rock ! and pwnd everybody!

  • I ride much worse than that!! its called making progress, and its the benefit of not being stuck in a car

  • nice chicks :-)

  • where's the idiot? just some random guy in kinda funny colorfull outfit

  • oh you car drivers... do you look up bike videos just to complain about us?

    go rub one out and relax. you are all in such a hurry ALL THE TIME and dont even seem to realize it. just chill out when youre in the city - you're not getting anywhere quickly.

    if you wanna get somewhere FAST then you should get a bike, haters.

  • Everyone should take a deep breath and chill the fuck out, this guy is fine, he didn't hurt anybody or even come near, looks to me like he's having a bit of harmless fun on a bike. Its people who get angry on the roads who tend to make rash decisions leading to dangerous and hurried driving so theres no point trying to fuel some kind of needless hate for cyclists. Everyone just needs to relax and enjoy the ride once in a while, its fun!! Beats being stuck in a car anyway!!!

  • we should have a cyclist cull,they are after all a pain in the arse...

  • i always have a word with those cyclists, im fed up of getting shit on the road because of those idiots.

  • 1:11 change ur title to idiot"s"

  • Don't know if it's true in your country, but where I live, you are not supposed to enter an intersection until it is clear. Cyclists, motorcyclist and scooterist all proceed before the bus can clear the intersection.

  • @psteverific same in the UK. however, the bus shouldn't have entered the yellow box as the road ahead wasn't clear

  • @rogerhotuk That may be true (in fact, I suspect the bus entered on a yellow) however... you know, 2 wrongs and all

  • @PowerToker420 what about the girl using the pedestrian crossing at 0.56?

  • @PowerToker420

    Its not what he did but its what he could have done to himself or what he could have caused to others through his actions

    He could have hit the women crossing or someone else as he went through the red lights

  • If he got hit by a car he would surely say it´s their fault for not driving with due care & all because he wants to look cool on a bike.Fact,this is a fool on a bike.

  • Total idiot but the circle at the end made me laugh, what the hell was that!!!

  • Dickhead.

  • Looks to me like the bus jumped the lights, which didn't help matters.

    Complete pillock though. He's not getting anywhere any faster - and the stupid 'circling' is baffling, giving that he's only wearing trainers, and not clipped in.

  • @WheelyGoodFun - I'd say both those buses jumped the lights.

  • what did he really hope to achieve? Death? cannot beleive he did it twice as well

  • Idiot, no doubt.

  • What a nobber!

  • Accurate description.

    One for the Sillycyclist series. The cyclist goes to close to oncoming traffic at 0:23, at

    0:24 is unable to get his feet on the pedals properly blocking the road. At 0:56 RLJ while a pedestrian is crossing. Overall that is one shit cyclist.
