    btw. the videos should be taken 'lighty', as well as the "race". I was just having fun, hence the stupid comments I made in the videos, and the crazy song choice. Don't take it too seriously :D I wanted to make it good "entertainment" :twisted:

    lol, in your dreams you "set" off the speed camera (40mph zone), I believe that was the car comming up from behind you that set it off.

    BTW, not the best road craft I've ever seen, considering that you're on a shared ped/cycle path.

    I must say I found that shared path a bit hair raising, I think I would use the road. Did you see the look of fear in the peds' faces?

    That's very funny, highly entertaining!

    Don't agree with caning past pedestrians at full tilt on the shared paths though, I always ease up a bit, and nod a thankyou if they do move out of the way etc.

    Whoever designed that cycle path should be shot.

    Yup, prime example why joint cycle paths are shite.
