Female Cyclist Who Likes To Try To Undertake Long Vehicles

The first of her series of undertake attempts on long vehicles really had me worried for her safety. She was a quick rider, no mistake but IMO needs to think a little about how visible she isn't in these circumstances. Give the driver a break and don't put your life in their hands. It is not fair on them as most of their attention will be forward facing. If you really have to pass and if it is safe to do so, go to the right. There is usually more room and you are less likely to get crushed against the kerb or those nasty metal railings so popular near pedestrian crossings. (You do of course have the option to wait behind them for a few seconds and move off with them when the light turns green again...)

I film my entire journey, if I see things worth posting, I'll edit and post them. I film in public places, there are no restrictions. It struck me that other riders might learn from this or even the rider herself may come across this video and think twice about taking unnecessary risks while cycling.

What were you doing filming her in the first place? Does she know you've posted her image on youtube? Could she sue you I wonder!

Dunno, she was small, what can I say...? Bear in mind I'm sitting on a 20.5" frame too though...

That's a tiny bike! (or weird video illusion?)
