TRACK BIKES in London 🇬🇧 aka: RoughCut: "Hotline-Rucola_63"

[@TheShotenZenjin]

That’s the fastest tour of London I’ve ever been on.

[@borisb.5024]

What an absolute chaos! "I'm not gonna go too hard on Terry" ..so that was a lie

[@weareewancameron]

the difference in bike culture is so clear here. all the NYC vids are flowing from start to finish, running red lights, changing lanes and directions to flow with the traffic. cycling in the UK for about 4 seconds and you get trapped behind a coach!!! haha

[@steve00alt70]

this is nothing compared to taiwan its bike island

[@joshnicholson2934]

NYC riders probably think they're best/the fastest but yeah, being fast is easy when the streets are 3 lanes each side and everything flows. Nothing flows here. Drivers freak out at the first sight of a cyclist. You can't always run a light, the margin for error is so small with the small streets, everything is unpredictable. And this is in London, you should see other cities

[@JPLonDoN101]

did you see Matt stop for a single red light? These are not not repetitive, boring junctions... way more technical. Ride into a crossroads with no brakes and force oncoming traffic to skid to a halt to avoid you? Such "skill" Haha....

[@ypaut]

Incredible handling, particularly given this weather. I'd have slipped 10 times with such cornering

[@andrewnorris5415]

More difficult than NY here in the UK. Peds can legally jaywalk and do often from behind parked cars like in 23:03. Many car drivers don't like cyclists - seem to blame them for congestion which is odd.

[@jonathansnell876]

The police will 100% pull you over if you do absolutely anything wrong too... Happened to me many a time.

[@joachimmacdonald2702]

that shitty channel 5 “””documentary””” (you know the one) featured some cunt in a Range Rover complaining about not being able to pass cyclists stupidly close whenever they slightly inconvenience him and then blurting out the absolutely glorious line “there’s a limit to the number of cyclists that can fit on the roads!” Never gets old, honestly

[@living4adrenaline]

"Blame cyclists for congestion". Makes total sense. Ha!

[@PEAKTYMEZBLUD]

@@jonathansnell876 did you ever get fined? I've been running reds often but only 1 time I was pulled over in central when I sped past the driver side window of a police car waiting at a red (it was 100% safe the pedestrians had a green light and there were no pedestrians lmao). they only told me off though but scared the fuck out of me with the beep, he must have punched the horn.

[@michaelwilson5387]

I gotta say I love these vids. Being way older I can see the excitement of track bikes but I started on a regular bike bc I need a break from peddling time to time and I lost 65 pounds. Then I got an electric bike to take some of the suck out of biking and I thought I was hooked. I planned on buying a van, loading it up w a bike and just going everywhere to explore. I hate to report that the coppers killed that dream. I was issued 2 $500.00 tickets by those muppets. My bike is peddle assisted. Meaning if u don’t peddling, it doesn’t help. No throttle at all. I never had to pay those tickets and I knew I didn’t have to. I just hate dealing w idiots of which the United States police force is among the dumbest group of individuals I have ever met. I got the van! I also have 2 one wheels and 2 gotway electric unicycles. I love them. I could never keep up w u guys on a track bike but I could on my gotway. Enjoy your lives guys!

Choice is yours naturaly. If the biker were mechanicaly inept or otherwise unable to maintain their brake system then your point would have some validity.

[@joshnicholson2934]

The point is, on brakeless you're not supposed to stop, you avoid. It's all about control. That's what it trains you to do. If you hit the brake, you would hit the child 100%. On fixed you'd avoid it completely

What's the meaning of the zig zag solid white lines in london?

[@motelsuicide7048]

Usually by crossings, meaning if you park there it's dangerous. Your blocking the view to cross safe for pedestrians. Certain vehicles can get away with parking on yellows for a short period. Delivery drivers ect. There is absolutely no stopping anywhere near the jagged lines.

[@motelsuicide7048]

@Stevie Blue We have single yellows, don't park at certain times. Double yellow, never park there unless your unloading or dropping someone off. Single red no unloading no nothing unless at sign posted times. Double red no parking at all. Usually you only see the reds in London as traffic is so busy. No over taking on the zig zag lines either. We have no jay walking laws either.
