- Merv is awesome, follow him! / mervcharles
It's always fun to hang out with him.
The bald guy blaming a whole group of people for poor actions from one individual is basic bigotry. Don't do that stuff. Unpleasant fellow. Not very impressed with the cyclist in black on the greenish bike either. I don't blame all car drivers for the actions of the fella in EP19LTK.

Angry pedestrian, you seem to have submitted an unjustified privacy complaint. You have no expectation of privacy under UK law. If you follow through with it, I'll put this video on NewsFlare where you won't be able to touch it.
That's so funny. He's a mixed up little chap isn't he.
You've got a clever attitude
I sooooo hope he reads your comment, we kinda know the little loser has been here lol.
Snoopin lol/
Sir, you - the little man, type thing - if you read this you are an embarrassment to your progeny and you're just another high school jock wanna be, albeit a watered down version of one!
Toxic masculinity kinda faded out 10 years ago or so...
Try and get one of those horrible tabloids to pick it up, that will be a lesson in behaving correctly in public.
Yet the pedestrian seemed to be harassing you, but is that why he wants it removed!!
No real need to have a pop at that bloke. He was using a figure of speach, then you interrupted him and compared him to a murderer 😂
Maybe as a cyclist Mikey is just sick of people saying "oooohh eeerrr.. that cyclist gives everyone else who cycles a bad name". Which roughly translates to "when I'm in my van I have a reason to be an asshole to cyclists on the road because they're just as bad toward pedestrians"..
@@scareneb Still not fair to jump to that conclusion about that guy, he had a fair point. Obviously cyclists don't hurt people to anywhere the degree that drivers do but still, he had a point.
"These boys give everyone a bad name, doing that..."
He was making conversation, wasn't he? ...and siding with other cyclists who don't disregard pedestrians or illegally ride on the pavement? What he meant was that riding like that creates a bad impression. He may be a cyclist himself.
Yes, I think so. Equivalent to saying the cyclist was “letting the side down”…
It has already been mentioned, but that phrase is very clearly ambigious and could easily be taken the wrong way.
Mickey, you were out of order with that guy.
He has a point, that cyclist does give us all a bad name, sadly. That’s the world we live in.
If you change his words and use "blacks" instead of "cyclists", then you'll begin to understand why that group thinking and group responsibility is so wrong.
@@CyclingMikey not really Mickey.
Learn when to use the apostrophe S and learn English grammar when you try to make a comment, otherwise you show yourself up as being really thick. As you have.
Doesn't give me a bad name, he's not my family
@@McStoolio judging a group by the actions of..... one, is called "bigotry"
I think you misinterpreted that one. He just said that kind of riding gives everyone a bad name. I think he is right in terms of those people that just hate cyclists
That's a fair point, it was ambigious.
Have you considered why only cyclists get "bad name" as a group when a single individual does something wrong? Have you ever heard "that's why car drivers get a bad name"?
You're wrong vehicles & cycles MUST STOP for pedestrians crossing the road, when the pedestrian is already in the road.
or when they are not on the road come 29/01/22
That highway code rule relates to side roads that you're turning into. There is however general guidance that you must give way if it can help avoid an incident. Nothing about MUST STOP though. You're making stuff up.
With the updating Highway Code on 29 Jan 2022, they will have to give way even if a person is about to cross
Too be fair. His initial comment was in support of good cyclists. Meaning cyclists like the pavement cutter cause angst against good cycling regardless!
You then "both" escalated it beyond what it was!
No, he was just angry with all cyclists and lumped us all together. It was sloppy and bigoted thinking on his part.
Attitude soon changed when a cyclist was in the wrong!
You were complaining about the pedestrian making sweeping generalisations about cyclists yet a couple of months ago you did exactly the same thing about scaffolders. One could be forgiven for thinking all this 'fame' is getting to you. Supportive of what you do, but think you may need a bit of a reality check.
The arrogance of people. I'm surprised a camera hasn't been put up there yet. Would be a good cash cow for the government.
the fixed PCN wouldnt cover the cost of installing and running the camera so no point
Was just gonna say the same . It’s surely dangerous
Why say he looks like a murderer. Clearly you’re looking for trouble.
It's the analogy - he says a bad cyclist gives all cyclist a bad name. I say a bad driver gives him and all other drivers a bad name - it was an attempt to show him the unpleasant illogic of his thinking.
@@CyclingMikey he s not a driver, he s a pedestrian in this case.
Where s the analogy? 🙃
You say that individuals should take responsibility for their behaviour as opposed to generalising an entire group, and I agree. However, in previous videos you have uttered the exact same thing. In particular, I remember not too long back you called out a black cab driver, and then said to a neighbouring one, that he was giving them a bad name. It is clear that you thrive on the conflict.
Video?
@@aryanbilakhia9842 I've seen the video he's talking about this month on CZcams, I'll try and find it and post the link here.
It happened whilst he was filming drivers using their mobile phones in static traffic by regent's park.
Yeah, I remember that video, I was being sarcastic to the guy. I remember thinking I wonder how he'll take this as I said it.
Mikey seems to have the urge to dominate or control people, he does it to 3 different people in this short video alone
Nobody was dominated in this video.
Keep your sexual fantasies to yourself Daniel.
After the good work you do to reference a heinous murderer like noye Shows a complete lack of respect , that disgusting human being destroyed a young mans Life and his family grieved for years while he avoided justice i think you should take a minute to think about what you have said and apologise
I think you've missed that I was simply reflecting his own bigotry back at him. What he said was the same thing. You too only realise how bad what he said was when you see it shown in a car centric way.
So the shipmans and the wests on gavin and Stacey offend you as well? There’s a bigger total there.
Sorry Mikey but any defence built on a sub human like noye is indefensible and your wrong but if thats your opinion then i hope everyone can accept that
He's right. When an idiot on a bike cuts up pedestrians, it gives cyclists a bad name. The logic is obvious. If a minority act dangerously, rules need to be put in place to protect people from the minority. Why? Because some cyclists are dangerous. It does not mean that every cyclist is dangerous, which is a straw man argument, not a real one. The guy's point is 100% correct.
No, it's just lazy thinking.
That's like saying it's perfectly justifiable for someone to hate a certain race or ethnic minority because of one or two individuals from that group doing something stupid. This isn't good logic it just makes you look kind of stupid.
Mikey, I'm on your side 99.9% ...... here's the 0.1% you got it wrong!
A) The pedestrian was right, that T W A T cyclist who cut the corner, riding on the pavement did indeed give 'you lot' (me included) a bad name, and should have have earned a rebuke, even if it was by way of a 'verbal.'
B) JUST because the gentleman disagreed with you, to tell him he looks like a murderer, comparing him to Ken Noye is absolutely reprehensible.I think you owe the gentleman an apology.
Good work on the white van man though.
Maybe that man should've called the cyclist out himself then? UK people.... pfff a circus ffs.
To be fair, I get the Noye reference, in so mich as Noye was an angry white male.
Also the high way code is changing soon and that would have gave the pedestrian right of way . And rule 170 may have covered it presently, I would have to replay it frame by frame and that's not going to happen.
Agree, geezer didn't do anything wrong. Love Mikey's work but didn't rate that interaction.
You missed Mikey’s point.
I like what you do people who think they can drive like that need to be off our roads, but while you filmed this clip 3 cyclist rode on the pavement another did a wheelie and maybe 2 or 3 illegal scooters went pass without anyone being able to report them through lack of identification. That needs to change. And the guy had a point at 0:37 he had a foot on the crossing which means he has priority over all traffic including cyclists, but the cyclist didn't stop then mounted the pavement to go past the car on the inside.
Well according to the new highway code, cyclists and cars should give way for the pedestrians so what you said and this video is now outdated. 3:24
Yeah, I was wrong even in the "old" highway code. I guess I too am too car-centric. Pedestrians are the top of the road hierarchy. I've realised my expectation of him waiting for the cyclist to cross there was wrong. He was being an arse though, blaming all cyclists for that one bad one. That's what I objected to the most.
@@CyclingMikey Yes you're right however I do think you were a bit harsh calling him a dickhead. I think you misunderstood and I don't think he meant ALL cyclists. Also, he might just be frustrated at the fact that cyclists can ride on pavements, pass red lights, drive on opposite sides of the roads and more and that they won't get prosecuted the same way a car would so his frustration is understandable
Bonkers new rules in the highway code but am about to learn it properly as have my motorbike theory test soon.
A lot of us bikers view it as potentialluly getting us rear ended more.
Pedestrians in my opinion should walk further to find pedestrian crossings.
The amendments to the Highway Code actually start on 29 January.
@@CyclingMikey Now there is the confusion.
According to the highway code, the pedestrian is at the top of the hierarchy, yes but they also have a duty of care to them selves, and as he was safe in the middle of the road at the traffic Island he had no more right than anyone else, as this is not a pelican or zebra crossing.
This is what a lot of the motorist were concerned about, ie can a pedestrian just walk out into the middle of a road when its full of flowing traffic and expect everyone to come to a halt, I think that is unreasonable.
Having said that, at 0:30, the man in question and two other pedestrians are already/just starting to cross when the silver crossover starts to turn down that road, here the car does have to give way, even stop.
In my opinion, and happy to be proved wrong, that cyclist currently and previously did not have to give way, nice if they did, but not HAVE to.
Daft few other cyclists crossing the pavement and the kid doing a wheelie, well its a kid for flips sake.
I'm usually in agreement with you Mikey but I really don't know why you reacted to the pedestrian in the way you did. His point was quite valid, a cyclist riding on the pavement (or any other bad behaviour) does give all cyclists a bad name. It's human nature to think badly of a group when you see one perceived member of that group behaving badly.
Unless you are a motorist, that is. They are always individuals with their own responsibility. It isn´t human nature to be unable to see privileges even if it´s right in front of you. That´s just human stupidity.
That's the problem, you should never generalise. And it's perfectly reasonable for Mikey to have reacted that way in the same respect.
It’s human nature to distrust others because their skin color is different too. Just because it’s human nature doesn’t mean it’s right or excusable in a modern society where we understand that some of our nature is a limitation/liability, not armor for acting like a fucking ape.
Bore off.
"It's human nature to think badly of a group"
Only when that group is already marginalized/minority, have you noticed? It's almost as if they're trying to justify the violence that is perpetrated against them.
The pedestrian had a point caught that cyclist on your own camera but you instinctively defend even bad cyclists but it could have been amicable to both agree cyclists can be wrong too but to retort that he is Keneth Noye is wrong and quite insulting.
700 people are KSId every year on the pavement by drivers. The risk from bad cycling on the pavement is at least negligible from that. As for calling him anything - I only reflected his own bigotry back at him with a car centric equivalent. I hope you can see the analogy now.
I only saw pedestrians on the pavement
A gandalf a day keeps the blues away xxx
A Gandalf a day will cause a riot someday.
Can you believe that van driver used a pedestrian and a cyclist in an attempt to distract you whilst he slipped on by! As we know Mikey will not be tricked that easily.
I'm taking driving lessons at the moment, and literally half way through my lessons the law changed. Teaching you to park on the right hand side, and scrapping teaching how to do three point turns and backing into side roads.
I never realised how complex driving and road laws are, and then I started cycling again in 2003 and I haven't stopped learning since. I was wrong here about the pedestrian not having priority.
Wait, you can park facing the wrong way now?
And no 3 point turns or reversing only into side roads not bigger roads?
None of that makes any sense. I get the pedestrian to hgv heirarchy, and oeds crossing junctions cars turning in need to stop - this works so well in Japan to be fair and if everone does it there is no real risk of getting rear ended. Bug those others?
The law hasn't changed at all. Go check.
What a place to find guru Larry 😂 hello Larry!
@@CyclingMikey Just as anywhere, having the right of way doesn't trump using situational awareness and giving way if it means you don't end up in an accident. If you're a pedestrian, you are almost certainly going to be the loser in an accident with any vehicle.
Hello Cycling Mikey, I fully support you.
I'm a walker, a cyclist and a driver. I'm a tradesman, so I'm often driving on unfamiliar roads following Satnav. But I always obey the rules and do my best to consider other drivers, cyclists, pedestrians.
I've been driving for 41 years, and I have I NEVER passed a bollard on the wrong side. I never would.
When I see your videos of drivers passing the bollard (or central divide or whatever is the correct term) on the wrong side, I think it smacks of entitlement. Like the rules should not apply to them because they think they're somehow more important.
Question: why doesn't the council put up an ANPR camera over that junction? They'd either make a fortune, or deter Mr & Mrs Entitled from behaving so badly in the first place.
Bald guy was correct and reasonable 🤟
"That's as close as we need to get" when you mate is being friendly.
Later you walk through the narrowest gap right by him.
Hmmm.
Assault with a deadly weapon. And just a measly fine. No jail time?
Be safe.
I agree that some cyclists give other cyclists bad names - driving like numpties. Because of cyclists who don’t have respect for car drivers, car drivers don’t have respect for me.
😴🥱
The problem is when cyclists start breaking the law, and it's posted on social media, there will be a growing sentiment that they will need to be legislated for in the same way vehicles are.
You’d need another DVLA to administer it. No one is going to pay for that.
They should be following the traffic laws too. Considering the tight confines of a lot of roads there, I see no reason cyclists shouldn't have to pass road tests as well. Would probably cut down on accidents which they almost always come out the loser in.
@@CrimFerret I am an advamced car driver, an advanced motorcyclist and a cyclist, are you that qualified to be on the road?
@@CrimFerret Cyclists, like pedestrians & horse riders, have a prescribed right to use the highways & byways. This right can’t be restricted by first having to undergo a test or pay a fee.
@Mikey - what is it that you do with the camera on your helmet as even thought the video keeps recording, you always seem to press something or do something to it as you are recording ? Just interested in what the fiddling about is for !
Ah - I'm pressing the highlight button so that I can find the location of the incident on the video back easily. :)
2:17 Geez that white van nearly knocked you down Mikey, at the force he drove into you.
interesting how for negative experiences with cyclists the whole "cycling community" takes responsibility for it, but people actually die every day because of cars and we not even care.. take the car of people heads off please
People are odd like that.
It's like the insulate britain protests that held up junctions for an hour - almost everyone was in a rage about it. Vigilante mode. And this was a handful of senior citizens concerned their grandkids would face hardships (war, famine, mass migration) due to climate change. I personaly are glad some people care.
Conversly, this week the M6 in the midlands has been blocked by accident 4 days running - one lasting 6 hours. Nobody bats an eyelid over the dodgy drivers causing death and holdups of 6 hours... as long as they aren't doing it to save the planet!
This. Some cyclists are dangerous but they'll never be as dangerous as if they were in a car or van.
The pedestrian wasn't starting an argument or even being rude. He said it's the cyclists that do that (cutting across the pavement), and he was implying it to mean the minority of cyclists (the ones that do that) which give the general cycling community a bad name. I have no idea why you got so defensive there and started an argument for no reason.
His tone and attitude suggested otherwise. At the time, it could have implied a generalisation just as the cyclist did something wrong. In other words, while maybe not bad intentioned but it came across wrong.
Is this during rush hour? What time of day do you find people usually attempt this?
As well as driving on the wrong side of the road endangering pedestrians, especially ‘children’, the fact that these entitled people think nothing of queue jumping when everyone else is waiting in line! 🤬
Hope you've read and digested the the new amendments to the Highway Code . Cyclists beware.
Hey, amazing work! Can you please tell me how you report these idiots? I would like to report many incidents on my dash cam but do not know who to contact.
I think you should contact your local police about how to submit such evidence, i.e. what information they need and how to present it.
Good work, didn't you say a while back that you had another video where you got bonneted while holding the camera and tripod? I maybe missed it..
Yeah, that one isn't released and the driver is only due in court in October some time, so it'll be a while.
While I was waiting at a red light, I had a lady yell at me about some other cyclist she saw on another day running the red. She kept telling me to tell my cyclist friend not to run red lights. I told her, "I don't know every cyclist in the city, so I can't really tell him anything." Boy, that made her mad. But I guess she figured we are of a hive mind or something.
Great to see you on TV Mike! I now know your face. Keep up the good, are a breath of fresh air. Saving life’s.
Good job here Mick respect from France
I'm so curious to learn what Mike is doing with the camera 2.25 as I've seen this on many of his films but I cannot glean any change in vision or anything. Thanks in advance of an enlightenment from any GoPro user
Ah good question! I'm pressing the power button, which drops a highlight in the video metadata. That lets me find back that exact moment quickly once I'm at my computer.
Amazing that. Thank you
Love what you do mikey but you have to be transparent with cyclists and motorcyclists too
Transparent? I'm assuming you mean catch cyclists and motorcyclists too.
The police I'm sure prioritise murders over shoplifting, why wouldn't Mikey prioritise cars which kill thousands a year over cyclists which are relatively harmless. (How harmless, in a typical year more people are trampled by cattle and die than suffer a fatal injury from a cyclist.)
You can't get em all i guess cars just present as bigger targets, easier to spot
Im a massive fan of yours but disappointed by this one Mikey. He was annoyed by the bad cyclist in exactly the same manner you’re annoyed by the bad drivers.
I think you've missed the point. He wrongly generalised about all cyclists because of one bad cyclist. I wasn't impressed with the cyclist or the driver, but nobody blames all drivers what the driver of EP19LTK did. Don't blame all cyclists for what that bad cyclist did.
@@CyclingMikey - sounded to me like he meant that the cyclist was “letting the side down” by riding on the pavement. I don’t think he was looking for a fight or intended to criticise all cyclists. The Kenneth Noye thing was quite a response!
Some folks have tomatoes for brains.
"Sorry, didn't keep the next video file." Our Mikey not having file space available for an errant driver!? Bollocks. The gossip was just getting juicy!
Hahaha, no really!
Tell the pedestrian he should wear a camera and document his own experiences. At least the van driver knew the drill and got about to it, nary a whimper. Great rapport with the general public! Good job, Mikey.
I'm a hgv driver. I think your great keep it up. Well done
That guy went quiet after you stopped that van driver. Nice smack in the face to him
I think you misunderstood him Mikey. He was saying ‘bad cyclists like that give all cyclists a bad name’. A bad name just means a bad reputation. He was saying because of bad cyclists like that, people will generalise and say all cyclists are bad. He wasn’t calling you a bad cyclists or calling cyclists bad in general.
Bad cyclists give only themselves a bad reputation. People only use that sort of lazy bigoted thinking when they are referring to a minority. He doesn't do it to drivers, pretty much nobody does because it's stupid and wrong.
@@CyclingMikey nail on the head Mikey. It is bigoted thinking to stereotype any group..
@@CyclingMikey But he’s not saying he thinks like that though. He’s saying that bad cyclists will make people in general have the bigoted attitude that all cyclists are bad, when in fact many, like yourself, are good. His comment was actually a friendly one which I feel you might have misinterpreted because of his tone.
It’s not true to say ‘bad cyclists only give themselves a bad reputation’. This obviously shouldn’t be the case, but people generalise; if you run into bad cyclists all your life you are going to generalise and believe that all, if not most cyclists are bad. Of course you should judge every individual based on each individuals own actions, but that doesn’t happen. The man in the video isn’t saying that he agrees with that notion of generalising, quite the opposite in fact. He’s essentially saying it’s a shame that people generalise because there are many good cyclists out there who get given a bad reputation due to bad cyclists.
@@CyclingMikey exactly. Just because humans do bad things not all humans are bad.
Just most unfortunately.
I agree AS - it was making small talk and it didn't need to escalate like that. In the same way some will say 'that idiot gives delivery drivers a bad name'. That is also correct - some delivery drivers are for example terrible drivers. Some are not. Yet there can be a tenancy to assume most are bad drivers.
In this situation perhaps just a 'Hopefully the rest of us cyclists show we're not all idiots like him. Have a good day mate.' would suffice.
You don't know he doesn't do that about drivers - that's could be said to be an equally invalid assumption.
Your content is ace, and really important in helping keep people safe, and get bad drivers punished.
I say this as one of your avid supporters: I would strongly recommend you delete this video.
You reacted to the pedestrian as if he made a comment supporting a bigoted view of cyclists, such as "all cyclists jump red lights", when he was simply acknowledging that this type of mentality exists.
You do some great work here, and it would be a shame to see some of your fan base turn against you over a simple misunderstanding.
The pedestrian was a tosspot
@@ottohashmi I don't agree. When I'm a pedestrian I'm annoyed by the cavalier, dangerous attitude of cyclists. The pedestrian was only voicing his annoyance. I'm sick of rude cyclists giving the rest of us a bad name.
No, he was perfectly right to react to that pedestrian in that way, and certainly not unreasonable. Different people interpret things in different ways.
What was that bloke in the blue jeans early in the vid on about?
Mickley, under the new highway code the cyclists and the cars should give way to the pedestrian. "Rule H2 applies to drivers, motorcyclists horse-drawn vehicles, horse riders and cyclists. It reads: “At a junction you should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning.” Although there's no must so no legislation to do that.
The driver in the white van was travelling at a fast speed
Good work as usual Mikey.
One question though, who does the nightshift when you're not there?! 😂
I do
Given the number of drivers who've failed to keep left, over the years, why have the Met, TfL, or whoever not installed a camera at this junction, for the safety of everyone...?? #JustAsking
Was that you on BBC Radio 4 this morning (24th Jan)?
Yes I believe so! UCI bobble hat.
Love your work at Gandalf Corner. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot!
Saw you on the TV this morning,love the videos, keep up the good work. Wish you had a cycling helmet on,rather than a wooly hat,just gives the haters oxygen to criticise.
Thanks! LOL on the helmet. It's not a useful part of cycling safety, and almost none of us in the Netherlands wear helmets because of that. Despite that, the Netherlands is the safest country in the world to cycle in.
Keep it up they know they are wrong 😑 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🦂🦂
good man Micky I liked .. great content as always ... have a great weekend as well
What was the cycling on the blue bike saying?
Saw you on tv the other day!
How would you report someone driving with no insurance? There is an online site where you can clearly see uninsured cars but no clear way to report. Seems to me like because the government does not get insurance revenue like on car tax they are not bothered.
With you recording and blocking traffic which I understand are in the wrong, I'm just surprised there isn't more aggression, like this could be dangerous for you
Kenneth Noye - What a great way to demonstrate the whole "he gives cyclists a bad name" is a nonsense statement. I'm pinching that one, not that I expect angry drivers to understand.
The guy he wanted to REALLY have a go at already rode off, and you were unfortunately just there after lol
'I haven't done nothing wrong' 🤪 Double negative guilt territory. Perhaps an escapee from the 'Eastenders' set?!
The other guy took the advice and made a clean reverse in ZERO time after the advice. LMAO.
He knows he was wrong and reversed.
Not often one can crow-bar Kenneth Noye into a conversation! Like how you pounced like a leopard on that van. 😀 be well man!
Mike has definitely changed my driving habit since I've discovered him this week. There's an awful adverse camber on a mini roundabout near me, which has 3 exits. Instead of slowing right down and going to the left and around the irritating adverse camber, locals go to the right of the mini roundabout and smoothly onto the exit from the oncoming side as one can see quite far ahead. The frightening thing is, one day, I fear that someone will come fast from the left of the roundabout and 💥 BOOM! I will follow the rules of the road from now on with no cut corners.
Thank you so much! The cameras have changed my own driving and cycling for the better, or so I'd like to think.
@@CyclingMikey Thank you for your reply Mike, and for all the work that you put into the videos with the text and diagrams etc. You definitely dedicate yourself to your cause. A real inspirer. RIP your dad x
Riding on a bus changed my perspective. You get a great view from a front seat of the whole road I saw how common inconsidsrate and dangerous driving was. I also saw how close cars and some buses get to cyclists. The slipstream parts their hair! I cant count how many times I've seen cyclists go up the kerb or jump off to avoid a car passing too close. I give much more space now and am aware of them when turning. Cycle lanes are a must. But equally cyclists who ride the pavement right next to a cycle lane get my goat too!,
🥱 yawn
Licky
I agree - you cannot tar everyone with the same brush. That would be rather like saying "All Doctors are murderers" based upon what Shipman and Mengele did 🤔
Keep up your efforts Mikey 👊👍
@Dr Diablory 😁😁😁
Great reply. Books/Covers 100% spring to mind. Peace 👍
Mr Gobby gives bald men a bad name!
Best comment 😂
Ironic that mikey loves this comment given you’re effectively tarring a group of people with the same brush.
Mr Prejudiced argues his improvised case while everyone else says hi to Mikey.
So insulting the pedestrian was mature was it?
Do you mean after he blamed me for the bad cycling he was annoyed about? He's fine to point out bad cycling, but not to include Merv and I in the same bag.
@@CyclingMikey to be fair, you do when U-turning all over the shop trying to chase a car down. I like your content but, I do agree with the negativity you are receiving on this one. Keep up the good work gonna try an drive down to catch you there one day give you a 👋
@@CyclingMikey Likening him to a convicted murderer like you did? Thought you were better than that? Obviously not?
Hey Mikey, saw you on the BBC this morning talking about the new rules coming in to protect vulnerable road users. Amazing how many people are unaware of the changes!
Yes I believe so! UCI bobble hat.
If this was about safety why do they make cars go faster than the speed limit?
This is all about making money by fines they don't give a crap about lives.
Hi Mikey, I've found your friends Instagram and started following 👍. Also it was great seeing you on the BBC news for new highway code changes and laws. Please let me know if you think they're all enough and if some still need more improvement
Welcome aboard!
YESSSSS!!!!!! ANOTHER GANDALF CORNER!!!!!! 💪🏽💪🏽
well done Mikey- yeah unsurprisingly the pedestrian has the right of way in all circumstances. I think cyclists in UK are getting same protection as where I am ie. if there an accident cycle/ car then the car driver is automatically treated as the guilty party. I can assure you it makes drivers MUCH more careful
Sadly, no. The UK is one of the few countries not to have presumed liability, and it's a real shame.
3.25 min that F... slipped out Mikey in the heat of the conversation........🤣
Cyclist on pavement and an electric scooter on the road. Are they not illegal………….? You’ve selective vision and must have a sad life standing at that corner day after day.
White South African doesn't want to get too close to Merv. Says it all really.
I'm not from South Africa, and Merv knows that a) I'm diabetic so am immunosuppressed and b) the young lad I work with has Downs and is also immuno suppressed. I've spent the entire pandemic being super careful.
Mikey's a bit of a bird watcher, at the 2:00 mark. An enjoyable interlude to the grumpy stereotyping pedestrian.
LOL, I do sometimes look, that was not an example of that.
LOL, well done Mikey.
where in london is that place? great video tho
'With the likes of me'
Lmao what lil nobody? Hahhaha
Please come and try this in the Northwest 😂 it wouldn’t end as well, and I don’t mean that in a threatening way, it’s the truth I suspect
Always amazed how calm and polite the cyclists are with the offending drivers. They just ride by not even saying anything to offenders that could have killed them if timing different. In the US windows would be smashed…
I note that it is Business as usual but that van did stop a bit close this time. I saw your TV appearance and heard a fuller interview on the local radio this morning. Does anyone really believe that adding more words to the Highway Code is going to change car / van driver attitudes with regards to the rules?
The new hierarchy rules should generate some very interesting videos in the future, but are they backed up in law or just advisory? Key words in the new highway code book are 'you must' as this is normally connected to legislation.
Does the pedestrian really have priority here? I wouldn't have thought so, seeing as it's not a designated crossing, and the cyclist isn't turning into a road the pedestrian is waiting to cross.
That's what I used to think, but then I asked Mark Hodson, a serving traffic officer, and he put me right. I'd like to think I would always be careful about pedestrians.
@@CyclingMikey thanks for the reply :)
@@CyclingMikey Under what rule would the pedestrian have priority?
So glad you didn’t let that muppet talk you down like that, and you stood your ground MIKEY. He was just fishing for a response because he’s like all the law breakers and doesn’t agree with what your doing. Well he can jog on the mouthy Gobshite.
Be safe out there MIKEY mate. 👏🙏🏻
👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍
It's OK nobody told the cyclist he was braking any rules...
Mickey, what was that other cyclist saying? I couldn’t quite hear but it seemed like he was siding with the pedestrian? I used to cycle here when i lived in London but it was like a death wish! Keep up the good work and stay safe
what is it with drivers that they cant wait in a queue. why do some seem to be more important than others so cant wait. keep up the good work mikey. bet you were p++d off with the lampard outcome
Yeah, not too bothered with Lampard really. It's at least a bit of a Pyrrhic victory for him.
No one evers says that driver gives you all a bad name,
A person's mode of transport is not a personality trait. Does a terrorist truck rammer give drivers a bad name?
I think smart arsed Mikey needs to take serious look in the mirror. I am a Chauffeur by trade, i am also very keen bike rider. I can GUARANTEE I will witness some bad cyclists, running red lights, crossing one side of the road to the other without looking etc. There are bad drivers, cyclists, motorbike riders,everyone. I would love to see some so called model road users (cyclists) pulled by the police to show them the error of their ways BUT, I won't hold my breath.
Of course there are also bad cyclists. They aren't the ones killing 1,800 and seriously injuring and maiming 27,000 people per year. That's drivers. Also, as groups, drivers are both more law breaking and less careful than cyclists, mostly because they are insulated inside a metal cage. www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2019/05/10/cyclists-break-far-fewer-road-rules-than-motorists-finds-new-video-study/
@@CyclingMikey Whilst i appreciate your one man crusade, don't just target the motorist. I live in a rural area, & just witnessed a group of cyclists, one of which was on his phone & the same time as being a (model) cyclist. My job means i have taken various driving courses, as a professional Chauffeur i see at first hand absolutely appalling driving up & down the country. I would certainly be happy to pay a small road tax as a bike rider. I realise that will never happen, because cycling as now become king.
@@CyclingMikey That's not "drivers", that's a few people. Otherwise, it'd be like you're saying that they're giving drivers a bad name ... ?
0:38 The angry pedestrian is complaining about this cyclist…
Can someone explain what "vs £34" and "costs of £85" means?
VS - victim surcharge - gets paid to a victim support charity that work within the court system to help people.
Costs are awarded to the crown to help defray the expense of prosecuting these people. It's never even a fraction of what the actual cost is.
When I cycle to the gym - where I am well-known - I often get into conversations with other members who seem to blame me for the bad behaviour of other cyclists. I think we're easy targets for moaners. Last week when I was locking my bike up at B&M I was accosted by a woman who insisted on complaining to me about a Just Eat cyclist who had broken the Highway Code in some way (I forget what). Nothing to do with me, of course. I'm not accountable for the behaviour of every person on a bike.
I told her that one factor playing into what she had seen was that when people order a hot meal delivery, they want it as quick as possible. Another factor is the peanuts hourly rate delivery cyclists get, encouraging them to go as fast as they can so they can catch the next delivery order, to earn a living.
Driving down the M74 the other day at about 8 am I was passed by numerous tradesmen driving their white vans fast and recklessly, but nobody picks on them. People prefer to bully cyclists instead as we are a soft target.
