Is it me or is there a lot of dodgy filtering etc in this video?

It looks to me like he broke a number of rules. It looks very much like he jumped the second set of red lights, he cycled through a zebra crossing when a person was crossing, he cycled the wrong side of a traffic island (actually over it!), and he took a right turn where it indicated that it wasn't allowed. Did the BBC condone this??[:0]

Oh and he cycled the wrong way down a one way street. A great advert for cyclists!![V]

Looked fairly typical for rush-hour London. You must understand that there are no rules on the streets down here - it's generally every man for himself - so you do what you must to stay safe.

I'd wager that at least 50% of driver in NW London do not have a licence or insurance. It's the only explanation for the ludicrous manoeuvres I see every day.

he stopped at red far more often than most of the palsied men i see on my commute.

I didn't know Joey Deacon was a cyclist. Did he get his shoe back then?

I didn't see anywhere where you could conclusively say he jumped a light, he did go briefly the wrong way up a one-way street, but presumably the 'justification' was he was following the TDF route. The person on the zebra had already passed, no need to stop there then, and the POB who turned right across his path and cycled across it shouldn't have done so. On the whole it was pretty tame!

No he didn't. He rode across the car park at the end of the serpentine road.

wasn't that the zebra crossing just inside Hyde Park at HP Corner. I thought bikes were allowed on this crossing as it links the cyle path either side of the road?

It's still a one-way with a no entry sign AFAIK. Plus the illegal right turn from South Carriage Drive onto the Ring.

If I had a baby elephant, I'd teach it to skate.

OK, haven't ridden there since 1991 - just after the no right turn at the top of SCD was introduced.
