Very Close overtake and Undertake

The first 'chap' passes me very close. In fact it shook me up more than any other pass has. I was in a strong secondary position at the time. This was followed by a stupid undertake when I was in primary. There was no need for either maneuver as I caught up and overtook them a short while later.

What is the rush!!! :-(

ARE YOU ON A FUCKING BIKE? I WOULD HAVE SKIPPED OVERTAKING YOU AND JUST RAN YOUR ASS OVER.

@Schuassen

It's amazing, the amount of people who say this on here, and yet there is little evidence of a sudden increase in cyclist fatalities. Hmmmm, an internet hard man, perhaps! LOL!

scottish and a cyclist, is there any1 i want to meet less?

[magnatom]

Racist. Is there anyone I want to meet less?

[Gib96]

and ur the only race i cant stand

[magnatom]

Racism in it's purest form.

Why ride a bike if it's that dangerous?

[playswithknives9001]

I didn't know vehicles can over pass by riding in between lanes in traffic. Pretty sure I'd get a ticket for doing so

[corollafrenzy]

just asking to die, aren't you?

[leapoffaith20]

I'm not sure why that last one overtook you. I mean he performed a dangerous manoeuvre to sit in a massive queue of traffic 2 seconds longer .

I know you have a perfect right to use the roads and your vehicle is non polluting but why bother when it is SO dangerous? No cyclist deliberately gets on his bike knowing he could be injured or killed but it does happen. There are too many cars, too many impatient rude drivers and the road surfaces are appallingly bad. You must love the adenalin rush of being in the thick of it. What purpose do your videos serve, how lucky you are not to be maimed? We need cycle lanes off the road.

LOL no one ever cares when you attempt to tell them off they just drive away

[stewartx5]

Neither of those vehicles appeared to be all that close. The first had roughly three feet of separation from you and the latter perhaps a bit more. On narrow roadways, vehicles routinely travel in opposite directions, or side-by-side in the same direction using adjacent lanes, with similar separation. Most travel past parked vehicles with even less separation. That reality only leaves one conclusion - if you really can't take the heat, get off the roadway.

But, You drive in the middle of the fucking road and expect what? Your vehicle have no motor, so you should drive on the edge of the lane to give a space for cars to overtake.

[Chicano2005]

@magnatom well man, you were on a lane specifically design for cars. and if you are in a car lane, you should move aside not taking the whole lane. i hate cyclist, here we share the road but they don't obey the traffic laws. they run red lights, stop signs and what not. i just want to run them off the road. that's my point of view!

I bet you felt like a real tough guy when you went in front of that white car after he passed you. Haha. Quit your bitching. :)
