Insurance companies are in the bussiness of calculating risk. I, my missus and my two daughters aged 9 and 11 are insured 3rd party to the value of £10m, to ride on any road here in the uk. It costs us £50 per annum. The premium reflects the likelyhood of us
a) having an accident were we are responsible
b) causing injury other than cuts and bruises
Cyclists do sometimes cause accidents but try insuring your fammily to all drive a car and you will see where most of the blame and injuries lie.
this is a prime example why cyclists need registation like drivers.. they broke a load of the highway code + ran red lights and the old classic of cycling in the WRONG lane the WRONG way.. looks like a bunch of idiots who could cause accidents.. THEN blame the motorist going the right way.. cyclists with the road sense of a LEMMING
@cosine303 What? what? what?. How are the government supposed to enforce this? u must insure ur bicycle and get it MOT'd once a year. Thing is all the stuff they're doing wrong - what if they just got off their bikes and walked through the red lights? is that illegal? wrong way down a road, well im sure we've all been oncoming before!1
@theUltinator it's easily enforced with todays tech..not an MOT , just made more responability, have liability like car drivers.. esp the registation thing.. notice when the police are out and how many they catch jumping red lights in the west end / city.. that proves there is a need for it.
@cosine303 That argument is just plain dumb. You are comparing apples to oranges. Hell, then lets register pedestrians too, MrPolice state! Where I come from cars KILL people, cars cause injuries and serious damage. When was the last time anyone ever heard of a bike injuring anyone but its own rider? Extremely rare. That is why vehicles have insurance-to cover liability when they kill, maim and injure the tens of thousands of people per year!
I think you should do some research, SADLY a few pedestrians HAVE been killed by cyclists of late.. do a bit of research and you'll find out. the ratio of cars vs bikes ? exactly.. do a goggle search for "cyclist kills pedestrian London" and yer.. you'll see. cyclists have no insurance for anyone they mame... or sadly kill. it's not so rare... count how many cyclists run red lights... you'll find that percentage is very high vs cars.
@cosine303 I don't know where you get your "facts" but talk to ANYONE who is a first responder about death and injuries caused by cyclists to pedestrians and it is very rare due to the fact that a vehicle weighs several thousand pounds vs. less than 200 pounds for a typical cyclist. More people are injured by dog attacks, so should dogs be licensed? Cars probably claim as many life years as cancer due to the deaths among youth.Your argument is simply false- give us some real data! Its BS!
@cosine303 I did some google searching as you recommended and the latest data does not back your claim. In 2009 0 pedestrians were killed by cyclists and 426 cyclists were killed by vehicles, That just includes cyclist not the many pedestrians and other drivers. This carnage is the reason drivers need insurance. They kill more people than anything else! ( the economist;cycling in london)
you should learn the rules of the road. before showing off on youtube thats no way to ride a bike on the road you will hurt someone rideing like fools.
You guys ride so damn slow it's embarrassing, and you don't even ride well, nor do you keep yourselves from getting in the way of those around you (looks like you actually do the opposite and try to irritate as many people as you can). Fucking hipster idiots.
Oi..... i organised that cat and i tell you 75% were working messengers and the rest were well involded in the messenger scene so sort it out!!

Faster pussycat kill! kill! was about a gang of chicks with sportscars, not bikes. That being said, a bike is still the best way to get around a city.
Plenty of traffic violations there. Now you know why cyclists are such a pain in the arse in London, and probably elsewhere. Shame most of you didn`t get splattered. Oh ! but then you`d blame the drivers. You bunch of tossers.
THIS!!!!! in 1964 13 year old Elisa Johnson was raped and murdered in North Carolina, her body was found with multiple stab wounds, and now that you've read this, every night she will come to your house and hang from your closet with glowing red eyes, the only way to stop this is to post this to 10 other videos. SORRY I DIDNT WANT HER IN MY ROOM
@itsdayv What elhow says is true. Allycat races promote poor cycling and give other good law abiding cyclists a bad name. And hipsters are idiots for riding on the streets without brakes.
Cars are the status quo... the status quo usually has no reason to lobby, unless things are going to change from the status quo.
If things were to change from the status quo, it means that lobby groups on the OTHER side are successful. As in, we, the cyclists and environmentalists. And as you're a cyclist, which you seem to be, realize that if things are done in a respectful way, people have little reason to hate on us \=D/

Of course it's not a pain in the arse that the roads are congested with cars.
