Piece of advice, when cycling don't look at the front wheel or your pedals, look well ahead and plan ahead. If you cant do that, be safe and travel by bus.
I'm both bus driver and cyclist (i cycle to work every day and respect cyclists) i know how it's like from both points of view. and in my opinion cyclist should be only allowed to ride after few hours of driving lorry or bus- for their own safety. most drivers or riders do not understand that straddling lanes is necessary and unavoidable for bigger vehicles.
It's also illegal filming someone without consent and uploading them on a public domain... he definitely would have seen you through his mirrors and you've had enough time and distance to brake. Grow a pair and get a move on
Allow time and extra room for larger vehicles, that is what drivers are told. Why do people not get this??? and wonder why they get hit. A bus/lorry driver can only look in one mirror at a time as well as concentrating on the road ahead. You are quite far to the left and the driver quite possibly never saw you. To my knowledge It is not against the law to straddle the bike lane. At the end of the day if you are driving a larger vehicle you take all the road you need. Common sense goes a long way
Mark Gale As a cyclist and occassional driver of a truck in London, its worth educating cyclists that with potholes and engine revs, mirror vibration also means the cyclist isnt visible in it.
There are so many more important things to talk about like what the bankers have done to peoples lives and the corrupt political system of Tyranny and yet you want to stop the bus to remind the driver that he is supposed to look out for you. Why don't you get down to westminster and remind our so called political reps that they need to be looking out for us?
So would you have preferred that he knocked me over for me to post this video? It's dangerous driving mate, clear as day! I suggest you put your glasses on and watch the video again! .... as I said to the other bloke, the bus driver should have patiently waited for the van to turn right and then proceeded. Instead, he turned left into the bike lane where I was approaching. The bus driver should have respected the bike lane and NOT turned into it. Simple really.
Yes, for your information most cyclists are also car drivers, including me! Road Tax hasn't existed for 74 years. Do you understand respecting a bike lane? and respecting cyclists? Also the bus driver never used the left indicator that he was turning left!!... so two words for you. Jog On.
Sir Bus drivers sometimes need to straddle lines and may be use cycle line. Also it's not necessary to put on left signal otherwise other road users think is pulling at Bus stop. Cyclists need to know Buses always pull in on left coz of Bus stops. Thanks
That is not correct. The bus driver should have patiently waited for the van to turn right and then proceeded. Instead, he turned left into the bike line where I was approaching. He is lucky I braked in time and also that no other cyclist was next to the bus or near the rear of the bus at the time! The bus driver should have respected the bike lane and NOT turned into it. Simple really.
So many idiots telling you to go and read the highway code when they themselves can't bring out a rule here. What did the driver do wrong? Invaded the cycle lane without looking nor indicating. CS7 is one of the busiest cycle lanes, and he must ensure it is clear before moving his 10 tonnes vehicle in.

I'd love to see you try drive a bus it's a huge vehicle.

I can’t blame the bus driver. He has a blind spot so u should stay out of it
to be fair stopping a bus in the middle of the road is illegal
This is the calmest cyclist ive seen on youtube over this...
The bus driver did nothing wrong!!!
he drove on the bike lane
@@Enviri Which is unavoidable for large vehicles
Well cycle do have brakes use it and try driving a bus or big vehicle it's fun and ur understand.
What a knob 😂Bicycle
I've Been On Bus 344
He did not do anything that was dangerous
I see nothing wrong in this video... maybe you should try to drive a bus and how it is like driving such a big vehicle.
he drove in the bike lane
@@Enviri well obviously 🙄
Nice one mate, jog on.
Why ate people nowadays always out to get one another whether it be video recording or some other way

Marty the H you are a goose!
WHY? Explain please. Kwak Kwak
This is so silly, you literally went into a blind spot of a bus, what is he supposed to do? Run all the way behind the bus for your sake? Ridiculous
You are just a miserable person, you just reported someone who work hard every day .
you're dangerous

You guys are wreckless and need a licence
@Oriando337 he should have never moved into the bike lane. Period. Shit driving by the bus driver. Period.
Why are
I'm against the cyclist for this 100%

Cyclist was completely in the wrong. The bus driver didn't do anything. Cyclist is using his camera to intimidate him

Everyone like that video please 😂🤣
Abellio employ all the rubbish drivers other bus companies have sacked.
That driver should have used his mirrors.
