Don't Be A Jerk When You Ride

some tips to give cyclists a better reputation

[@reginaldscot165]

You must be a good looking fella with all the ladies smiling at you like that. 😉

[@Velofil]

Compared to your current look ...yes ;-) btw. how's Your Recovery Going?

[@reginaldscot165]

Velofil ouch! I was not expecting that come back... 😮 I'm much better thanks, had my surgery and in 2 weeks I can go back on solid food hopefully. Right now I can not speak well because my mouth is full of wires and metal strips. It's frustrating because I have lost I want to say in videos. 😂

[@shizuokaBLUES]

Yep first thing I thought too-he’s young, handsome and well built, courteous and always smiles. No doubt about it.

[@shizuokaBLUES]

Reginald Scot Jesus mate what happened to you?

[@ADCFproductions]

@@shizuokaBLUES if you smile, you get smiles back, that's how it works! :) as long as it's not a creepy smile, like >;] >:D ÒAÓ

You’re a class act buddy. Stay gold. I do these things too but my problem is I lose it when I get cut off by cars , eg turning left in front of me like I don’t exist. I have had several confrontations with drivers and can’t seem to shake my anger. It doesn’t help that I was hit from behind and spent six months in the hospital with broken femurs and multiple breaks around the body. Even plastic surgery. But I still ride. Slow and aware and courteously. But.... that temper is always there z

Now the question is, do you just "happen" to find all these women on your rides, or are you actually stalking them and they don't know it (yet) ? You're right though, that a smile, a wave, any form of pleasant acknowledgement when passing makes the day more pleasant for everyone.

[@WestcliffGoPro]

Yet another masterpiece my friend.....excellent video as always and found myself watching with a big stupid grin on my face 😁😁

[@charlesmansplaining]

You are so right. I ride just like that and I get thank you and I always say thank you. It makes me feel good.

[@MMI5KS]

Love how respectable you are,some cyclists arent,your a true Gent...its lovely to see..

[@SanskritFritz]

This is one of the best videos on youtube. Honestly.

[@nomohakon6257]

I would be nice, if the drivers didnt try to kill me with their oversized cars.

[@elcoco1985]

ahahah so true

[@mrsqueaksqueak8686]

That's basically how I ride.

[@maelremond9907]

it's a good example but a car already hit me so now im always scared

[@Gold_Stadt]

#altogether "Life could be a sweet sweet dream." Cool clip. If everybody would act like that there would be a lot less problems.

[@foetusleemond4547]

This is what I do anyways because slow is smooth and smooth is fast

[@maxdudomite]

Why can’t every cyclist be like you? Some are too arrogant to use shared pathways just because they have to slow down for pedestrians and their dogs and prams. They’d rather take up the roads riding two abreast going half the speed limit.

[@JannisAdmek]

I see so few cyclists stop for podastrian crossings! We should all do that, even if they're hesitend to cross at first.

[@donkennedy7129]

Find A reason to be nice...Who wants to serve as a bad example, Be part of the solution :)

Don Kennedy Your post reminded me of a ''Social Experiment'' type TV show a while back. They had a guy trying to jump the queue in a coffee shop, first it was just a push in scenario, which got everyone annoyed and angered. Then later it was a polite ''excuse me, would you mind if I cut in I'm in a real hurry'', funnily enough the response (each time) was along the lines of ''sure go ahead''. Just goes to show, we react positively to nice people.

[@daverobinson6384]

You like to think that this was all common sense, and common decency too!!

[@SanskritFritz]

I must move to Switzerland. Are all ladies this beautiful there?

[@ADCFproductions]

Yes we are! And i'm a guy and i live in Portugal, but yes is the answer to that question.

[@AtakanCOBAN54]

Absolutely awesome videos, congratulations dude. With hello. Bye.

[@atomboy83]

Very nice video compilation, that's exactly I think so too while I ride. Can I steal the title, when I create similar video? :) I've a lot of clips I've never published. Unfortunately some of them I can't show because of their face are visible and our law doesn't allow it. But they're uncommon, for example i got a kiss from an elder lady because I stopped at the zebra crossing. I tried to blur her face but that was very terrible.

[@odenwaldcyclist8182]

Wie immer, ein klasse Video! Danke für die Mühe.

[@MortenHowLode]

Great clip!

[@dirtroadie4642]

[@losangeles9320]
