Ignorant cyclist

What's his problem! I know the cyclist infront.
1. I let him come out past the parked car in the bus lane.
2. I go pass.
3. He goes pass later on.
4. Because the cyclist 'm8' was cycling 2 abreast, he gets upset.
& 5. He goes through a Red.
Now one could say, ah yes he's on a fixy & didn't want to slow or stop, to hard to start again... balderdash...
I know the guys in front, & believe me they we could easily destroy him, speed of course...

[@octaviussludberry9016]

Olaf Finer Are you implying the initial comment about cyclists ignoring lights is wrong? I'm a cyclist and as a road user, I obey the laws of the road. Would you do it on a motorbike or in a car?

[@driewiel]

If it weren't for cars walk don't walk lights would be unnecessary yes. Or do you think pedestrians would collide which each other with 1.3 million deaths as a result? Traffic lights are there to stop cars. Nothing else. If there are no cars, you don't need traffic lights. Difficult to grasp the concept is it not?

[@octaviussludberry9016]

drie wiel No, they're there for ALL traffic in the UK. It might be different where you live, but not here.

Yes the UK is a different planet. Things fall up! I even saw traffic lights for pedestrians to cross a cycle path. Which the whole world finds hilarious. Except you British creatures of course.

Rule 71 You MUST NOT cross the stop line when the traffic lights are red. Some junctions have an advanced stop line to enable you to wait and position yourself ahead of other traffic (see Rule 178).

[@davidmcclinton895]

Always makes me laugh with cyclists, they seem to think they are in some sort of race. And yes I am a cyclist.

[@Tailspin80]

None of these cyclists come out of it looking good. It’s a real free for all, riding three abreast and all over the road, blocking each other, not stopping at the zebra crossing for the woman on it and of course the one that jumps the red light. I cycle a lot but not in London and just follow the Highway Code as I do in a car. Sometimes you get stopped at a pedestrian crossing with a red light and no pedestrians in sight but I just wait for green. I don’t want to give any more ammunition to the anti-cyclists mob and who knows when they are being videod?

[@dynevor6327]

A whole bunch of ignorant cyclist including the DC. Girl at 0:35 has to run to get out of their way, pedestrian crossing doesn't apply to cyclists.

[@nick6ix]

Is this why 90% of London cyclists have cameras on them, so they can put up boring material like this? You might as well film someone j walking or dropping litter on the ground as well

[@bazk21]

If U find the footage, as this boring... don't view. Simple.

[@nick6ix]

I think most people found it boring. It's ok I'm not going to view it again if that's what you think

I've seen this guy before. He was shouting at a bus for being too wide, it's fair enough I suppose.

[@bazk21]

Wow, tell U what, this morning at the same spot, RLJ cyclist almost gets taken out by a bus, put the footage up tomorrow..

[@Verselet_Mantra_MTB]

In the US you don’t have to stop at the three way intersection like this. You just need to slow down to yield anyone in the cross walk. It makes no sense to stop there.

[@SilvioDiego]

he seems to have made some kind of promise never to shoulder check.

[@johngreen8693]

0:36 would have been better to allow the pedestrian more time to cross/ clear the crossing.

[@johngreen8693]

Checked again, black and yellow top riders were on the crossing the same time as the pedestrian, red top close. The crossing jumpers were at risk of injuring someone more vulnerable than cyclists, red light jumper likely to just kill himself.

[@antoniomura1458]

How can you be sure the riders weren't slowing down for the pedestrian? The video there is sped up a lot, and the pedestrian has clearly finished crossing when the riders start to cross it. People are happy to join the anti cyclists band wagon all to promptly.

[@OnYourLeft]

All he had to say was, "Passing on the right," and I'm sure they'd have let him by. No need to get bothered by them being in front. As far as running the red, fixie or not, that's just a bad idea. If one light is red, chances are, another is green. And stopping makes you stronger.

[@EsterHorbach-it9tb]

They're lucky they're allowed to use the bus lane. We often don't have a lane like that, neither for busses nor cyclists. When I want to turn left to the street where I live, it's dangerous bc car drivers or other motorized drivers are ignoring my sign or are too fast or both. One time I even had a mad cyclist following me bc he didn't see me turning to the left and it was too close. But I was signing and turning to the middle of the street early enough, when no driver was in sight. You can't win. I know we're a hassle to them (too slow, too unpredictable), but that's what they are too (too fast, too unpredictable).

so the dude jump a red light... and you make a youtube video of it... You know in some countries it is allowed to doo so (usa, turn right when the light is red). I don't understand this public shaming, he is taking some risk and will assume them if it turns bad. As a cyclist I consider that like a moralist bullshit. I don't know any cyclist who never jump a red light or a stop and even for the most respecfull ones. Every body do mistake from times to times...

[@bazk21]

My gramma sucks, however this is the UK not US.. Did U read 1 to 4? this was the point, No.5 is #law, everyone else stopped but him. This is not about shaming, but ignorant PPL, either by car/motorbike or bike. Until the #law says it's ok 2 RLJ I will continue to stop.

[@benmoriceau]

Didn't read when I post my comment. Agreed 4 is a bad behavior, he shouldn't have done that and it is pointless. The red light is his reponsability, he can get ticked or worse crashed. But It that case he didn't put anyone in danger, the pedestrian who crossed was quite far. My point is that it is not the best example of a bad cyclist. I have been commuting for 1 year in London, 2 years in Paris and now in the US, and saw much dangerous cyclist than that. Anyway stay safe on the roadr I know that UK, particularly London is a tough place to be a cyclist! I had a lot of close call there.
