    White van man passenger at 1.17 seems to be oblivious to all things except his need to get to the butty shop.
    Not the closest shave I've ever had but some sort of apology from this numpty would have been nice.

    apologies for length of clip. Video editing not my strong point.

    Different views that you don't usually see.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Bails in your video at the third roundabout did the left hand lane specifically have markings in the road to tell drivers to take the first exit? Also was the lane coming off the roundabout at the exit you took a single lane?

    Maybe you should also apologise for cycling through a "Riding of pedal cycles prohibited" sign at minute 2:49. You should really be careful where and when you decide to throw stones in your greenhouse.

    Yep, it's here. Two exits, lane one for exit one, lane two for exit two, the one I took. And yep, it's a single lane.

    I had a car do exactly the same thing to me when I was driving.... :roll:

    Ha ha, nice one.You got me there! :oops:

    But hang on a minute, I should apologise to who exactly?
    Because, as you can clearly see, nobody's safety was actually endangered by my flagrant contravention of that sign, because nobody was actually there.

    So I tell you what strange little man, why don't you stick your pathetic comments up your own backside,and stop being a sad self-righteous twerp.

    Sorry - not normally one to comment but really?!

    You can't call someone self righteous for a simple comment when your video professes of you being much more so?

    A large majority of these videos make me cringe, because I know I've been in the same situations yet avoided a lot of the trouble - it almost seems that for some, a headcam becomes a license to stray into danger due to the youtube hits.

    I must stress though that this doesn't apply for all - some people put up good and informative videos, I just think in some cases a little forsight would go a long way.

    What a load of sanctimonious, barely literate and effeminate sounding drivel.

    Be interested (not very) to hear how you avoid trouble of the 'van door opening in front of you' kind.

    No it's ok, I think I know the answer to that one. Wild man that you are,you survive unscathed beacause you ride your triple chainring tourer up to a maximum of 20 miles per week, in full dayglo fluorescent clothing and only in daylight hours on canal towpaths.
    At 3mph.

    Just remind us how you spell "because" again sturmey?
    Anyway thank you for you constructive answer to my comments on your video. I guess you ere up all night thinking of twerp, or did your mummy help you come up with something? The fact is, you broke the law in your video.

    Never mind. Look at this video, particularly at minute 4:49 and see how the rider cuts the corner at this junction quite badly. He went to the right of the island potentially into on coming traffic. What a twerp.

    Did you get picked on at school or something and had no luck with girls? What was your nickname? Wingnut? Dogbreath? Maggot dick? All of those no doubt.
    And what are you going to do about my terrible law-breaking 'cos no-one apart from you actually gives a sh*t?
    Nothing is the answer , 'cos there's nothing you can do about it son, is there?
    Keep a look out on here anyway for some more of my vids soon. I'm sure you will find some minor transgression to bore us about and cream yourself over.

    Self-righteous garbage.

    If your own spelling was impeccable, you'd be on firmer ground - but it's not, is it?
    You're clearly carrying round with you a burden of resentment that makes it hard to avoid coming over as a carping, self-satisfied imbecile. My suggestion is you first resolve the problems you have with your private life before sounding off in a puerile manner on bike forums.

    My mate is in fact a Cullen - you have to keep his legs away from bright lights as they actually glow. Watch the vid and tell me I'm wrong.

    Ahh peter perfect can I just ask why in this video of yours you were overtaking cars into on coming traffic, in their lane forcing them to drive close to the kerb?

    :lol:

    Is tigger a regular lemon then?

    If not, and in the interests of giving a stalker/troll a fair chance....at what point in the video is KB forcing cars to drive close to the kerb?

    What is wrong with overtaking on the outside? It's safest, and exactly what I would do in that situation.

    I expect it's the bit where I actually comment on the vid that I was taking care. I had noted that the cars were pulling in, so I carried on past the van - I was actually going to slow behind it but saw I could carry on.

    Go on then...

    At 2:30ish and 4:16ish cars/lorry sacrificed position for him- Not quite forcing cars into the kerb and a bit later 6:48ish overtaking (vehicles arguably travelling over 10mph) in the ghost island with a solid white line-same as overtaking on a solid double white line.

    But to be honest I couldn't give a stuff!
