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!

[sillycyclists]

@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

im a Silly Cyclists :O)

[sillycyclists]

@TheRJMortimer oh really?

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.

[sillycyclists]

@PeowPeowPeowLasers Indeed, not perfect but much better than the others who didn't bother to stop.

[sillycyclists]

@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.

[sillycyclists]

@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.

i hope the no.1 silly cyclist stumbles across this it would be so good.

not allowed to cycle in windsor park / virginia water after dusk, a great shame. should put some lights in there

[CyclingMikey]

@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.

cyclists should pay road tax and insurance like I do for my 3 Jags, the wifes and the kids. Its not fare

@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 :)

@TimpBizkit Exceeding speed limits doesn't matter, they don't apply to cyclists :D

[E17bikes]

I would like to know what u think about the riding of this guy??? Check out ASPHALT - JUMBO, THE FASTEST CAT IN TOWN

I love all these lentil drinking fashist banging on about other peoples riding...
