  • This is a compilation of cyclists in London. A few near misses, naughty people, but not major incidents. Have been collecting these videos over a few months, always too busy to do the editing, but I think this compilation is worth uploading.
    By the way the thumbnail is not composed in Photoshop or anything like that. I just marked with a red circle the crazy road positioning everyone was in at that part of the footage.

      +atkolad Whilst I don't agree with the uploader's riding either, what he clearly meant was the cyclist moved to the right without shoulder checking. Indicating isn't necessary, but the same applies to a motorcycle; if you're going to veer suddenly left or right, you need to check first. However like I said, I don't like the way the uploader rides. He passes people way too close, he could have given her way more room before overtaking.

      Suggestion for cycle accessory manufacturers: flashing indicators for bicycles. Like motorcycles have. It would make it easier to signal a manouvre without having to stick an arm out. Powered by batteries like lights. Shouldn't be difficult.

    You were aware of the bus coming up the side of you! Because you looked to your right, you can see your self catching the slower cyclist so you decide to overtake the slower cyclist as the bus was coming up your right ,, you should go and study the Highway Code mate! Bus did nothing wrong the only impatient person was you!

  • @dave1the1deer1hunter
    @dave1the1deer1hunter Před 8 lety +14

    Silvio Diego you seem to be a pretty sensible cyclist.
    Some of those people on the tail of the bus are asking for trouble, fair enough if they all stuik to one side, but the bus driver has to constantly make sure he isn't squashing bikes from both sides whilst trying to concentrate on what's in front of them.

    She is not turning right she is following the road round and she does not need to indicate or shoulder check.

    • @SilvioDiego
      @SilvioDiego  Před 9 lety +2

      following the road around is fine. but if you notice after I´m overtaking her and she just came on top of me, she was going towards the pavement probably to stop... do you have a license mate... you should always indicate and check behind you before going left or right.

    • @makeminea9959
      @makeminea9959 Před 9 lety +11

      Silvio Diego You are off your head. She came on top of YOU? You shot up behind her and she was so busy checking out WTF you were up to that she wobbled a bit. She is clearly unsure of your intentions and no wonder with you being so bloody close you passed her within INCHES - she is clearly NOT stopping at the kerb.
      To repeat as you seem to not quite get this. SHE DOES NOT TURN! SHE FOLLOWS THE ROAD AROUND! There is ZERO need for her to check behind because she is not moving out of lane or across her lane unexpectedly.

    • @joshmcculloch09
      @joshmcculloch09 Před 9 lety +4

      makeminea99 I agree with you, she was in the right her. You were wrong to fly up and almost hit her.
      Plus i notice that you didn't check behind you either, your helmet cam shows what you're looking at and you didn't once look around to check that an overtake was safe.

    • @SilvioDiego
      @SilvioDiego  Před 9 lety

      joshmcculloch09 I think you got a fair point saying that I didn't do a shoulder check either... I think I should have over taken her with a lot more space, instead I chose not to look and do a close pass which it didn't go too well as she suddenly swerved into me...

    • @joshmcculloch09
      @joshmcculloch09 Před 9 lety +3

      Silvio Diego Cool man, i just think that lots of cyclists, me TOTALLY included, get caught up in the moment. Kinda overlooking how they themselves could have behaved differently to prevent it. Blaming other people first instead of being like "hey maybe next time i should be cycling a little slower round that corner" or whatever. You know what i mean?

      +aloui Mohamed habib
      That about sums London up, so the most logical answer is its not worth the risk, but the knobs at city hall seem intent that rather than get the cyclist off the road because it's just too dangerous , no, we should get cars and lorries off the road and encourage more people to cycle . So when the cyclist gets to their office and there's milk for tea and no bread for toast, and all the cafes don't have no eggs milk bread , they won't have their breakfasts ,. Lorries are crucial for any city to keep the economy moving ,. What the fuck does a cyclist contribute ? And as for pollution what's best ? 1 bus of 50 people or 50 cyclist running around like gnats

    • @Hirotoro4692
      @Hirotoro4692 Před 6 lety +3

      Mark C I think you lack the basic understanding here. More cyclists in DEDICATED bike lanes means less people in cars. Less people in cars makes it easier and quicker for deliveries to arrive. Its a relative.
      In response to your question a diesel bus carrying 50 people is way dirtier than 50 cyclists.
      An electric bus however... That's a different story...

    2:00 instead of slowing down until you pass the obstacle in the left lane so you can overtake the other cyclist safely you pull into the buses lane whilst its moving, you are at fault due to impatience and not reading the road ahead well enough, funny that you called the bus impatient!

      What a ridiculous comment.
      If you choose to disobey the law then you roll the dice and take your chances.
      Its time that all cyclists had some form of registration to identify them. If you are involved in an RTA with a vehicle or worse still a pedestrian, there is nothing to stop you simply riding away.
      I'm currently talking to my MP about this as I believe it makes sense.

    • @SilvioDiego
      @SilvioDiego  Před 7 lety

      Jim Goodwin I tell you that our laws should be discuss and challenged and you tell me 'you choose to disobey the law'? Do you see me disobeying the law on this video? I stay at the lights every time, but if we can have a logical conversation then I will admit that many times cyclists who jump the lights are a lot safer than me because I have an impatient driver right behind me willing to do anything to overtake me even if there's no space. Those are facts and it shows that the law is not there to protect cyclists at the moment.

  • @user-jt1jv8vl9r

  • @pauljohnson9326
    @pauljohnson9326 Před 7 lety +4

    I'm sure cyclists always shouting and screaming about 'your to fucking close to me ' even though there's enough room , but it's ok in there books to ride right up besides us car drivers and hang off our wing mirrors.

    • @TheBenjacoto
      @TheBenjacoto Před 7 lety

      Well, I guess it's a little complicated for someone who doesn't understand the difference between 'your' and 'you're'. Let me explain; when a car goes past it is moving, thus it is dangerous and cyclists don't want it to be too close to them. However when a car is sat in traffic it is not moving, therefore it is of limited threat; even if it moves suddenly it won't be close to as dangerous as a car that is already up to speed.
      So, to sum it up for you - big mettle boxes on wheels are disliked by people without big metal boxes of their own when said boxes are moving fast enough to kill them.
      Understand?

    • @pauljohnson9326
      @pauljohnson9326 Před 7 lety

      I'm sure you mean, not moving and not NO moving but hey guess we all make mistakes. In reply the commen about big metal boxes......hmm where to begin.....fuck it I'll put it like this . METAL BOXES ARE EXPENSIVE and can be damaged by idiots riding little bikes near them but if cyclists don't mind coming up so damm close to us motorists (at speed) then when the car starts to move the cyclist should not get upset and try to hit the big metal box with wheels.......UNDERSTAND.

    • @TheBenjacoto
      @TheBenjacoto Před 7 lety

      Guess you mean comment, not commen.
      You're right, we all make mistakes. Guess my comment was a little aggressive, I work as a cycle courier so I tend to react a little harshly to car drivers giving cyclists grief.
      I think you have a point, but as with everything it's about a middle ground. A driver needs to give space to a cyclist when he's going as speed, that's just a fact. As for static traffic, sometimes cyclists filter when they shouldn't and end up putting themselves in stupid places where they either endanger themselves or just irritate everyone else on the road. However a lot of the time it is much safer for a cyclist to be at the front of a line of traffic, so he doesn't get side swiped by someone turning left.
      It's a common occurrence that a car will overtake me, then stop at a traffic light with a cycle bay at the front, however the car will be so close to the curb I can't get past.

    • @pauljohnson9326
      @pauljohnson9326 Před 7 lety

      agreed. I am a professional driver for the elderly and people with disabilities and I almost always give way to cyclists even if the run the red lights and nearly hit the car. I had a cyclist go into the back of my personal car a couple weeks ago and cause 750 pounds worth of damage . He came from the opposite side of the road to oncoming traffic and swerved behind me and in doing so cut up a taxi that was also behind me . He didn't realise the light in front was red and I had stopped . the impact was that harsh I thought the cab had hit me as I got out the car I then saw the cyclist on the floor and I realised he hit me. needless to say I was very angry but he paid up .

    Running lights seems to be a trait of the older generation more than cyclists in their twenties and early thirties.

    I saw a video some time ago in which a cyclist thought he'd be clever, threading himself through the gap between two lorries. He had a gap that was barely wider than his handlebars. Unfortunately for him, he clipped the side of one of the lorries. He went over the top of the handlebars, the bike was picked up by the trailer wheels of one of the lorries and came up and over, but cyclist went under the wheels. He never got up again, or so I'm given to believe. You could be forgiven for thinking it was suicide.

    I don't know what your rules of the road are, but in the US, cyclists are required to obey the same laws as motorists. With few exceptions, riding between lanes of traffic is illegal. Turning right on red is legal in the US, as long as it is safe to do so. As for pedestrians, regardless of what color the light is, if you see one in the crosswalk, you are required to yield to them.

    Driving in London, particularly a bus but car also, must be like stepping across a floor covered in insects.

Not only must you watch the traffic ahead - you will at any given time have cyclists lane splitting either side of you, or riding near your bumper, and any gap you leave, they'll squeeze into.

    you're not allowed to overtake the first vehicle at a pedestrian crossing. You did this many times (I do it too not going to lie) but it is against the highway code.

    • @SilvioDiego
      @SilvioDiego  Před 7 lety +1

      thanks for your comment! My understanding was that you cannot overtake 'any' cars when they're 'zig-zag' lines. Are you referring to those? I do overtake other vehicles because the highway code says do not overtake but does not mention anything about 'not filtering'.... Trying to understand this better, and no one has been able to confirm if you're not supposed to filter either.

    • @lordmark9546
      @lordmark9546 Před 7 lety +1

      Rule 191 of the highway code (UK) -
      You MUST NOT park on a crossing or in the area covered by the zig-zag lines.
      You MUST NOT overtake the moving vehicle nearest the crossing or the vehicle nearest the crossing which has stopped to give way to pedestrians.
      the zig zags are just for parking to keep the view of the crossing clear. My understanding with filtering is that it would be regarded the same as overtaking in this scenario. If you do hit a pedestrian who is crossing - albeit even on a red man, I think you would be held fully/ mostly responsible.

    • @lordmark9546
      @lordmark9546 Před 7 lety +1

      oh also - because the highway code wording is "MUST NOT", this means it is written in legislation and is a road traffic offence - I'm a motorcycle rider (rule 191 is applicable to all road users) and I try and get around this by stopping alongside the front vehicle and pushing my bike gently slightly infront of them. Think the main thing is to make sure you don't hit anything at a pedestrian crossing :)
