5:34 oh he's such a goody-goody, making clear signals and making a wide curve so as not to cut across the corner, taking his new position well to the left of the road etc... But oh look, he's just gone over a zebra crossing with a pedestrian waiting. Didn't see that, did you, Tom? Too busy looking for the shop to buy your paper? lol :o)

Bubble car at 2:58 :-)

Can't see why you can't ride as carefully as the first chap but still go a bit quicker like the second one to make up a bit of time. In fact, it's more important if you're pushing hard.

(I'm envious of / irritated at that fella... always being able to get up early enough to ride slow AND stop off for a newspaper. Got coffee in his veins, not blood...)

@ilovetogame Left-hand throttle, one presumes. The control standards for bikes settled down quite a lot later than for cars. Right-hand gears and left hand brake used to be common too.

How does he hold is right hand out to indicate, yet still accelerate?
