    The point is you link to a video which clearly shows someone who is basically riding the way you'd expect a child to ride, as if to suggest that's indicative of a typical cyclist..... As such I post a video showing a boyracer driving like an idiot, but somehow that's different?

    The level of hypocrisy is astounding, we see a car being driven badly and we just say "oh it's a boyracer or an Audi driver", but you see a cyclists do something stupid and decide that all cyclists are the same.

    But you can bet if this POB ended up under the wheels of an HGV because of his own stupidity he'd still be swifty beatified by many cycling activists, have his own ghost bike and a 'die in' organised in his honour.
  • Videos like these are more entertaining/horrifying than they should be. There's one called Road Shamer (dot com) which has dashcam videos from all over the world. I'm angry both at the fact that drivers can be so reckless and that my productivity has gone out of the window because I'm too busy watching reckless drivers.
