Did you jump that Red light at 3:30?
As to the knobcheese that tried to stop you getting past... I would've stopped in front of him, looked at my watch, smilled, waved and cycled offChunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

Next time the traffic is so bad, you will have had time to get off, set up a sheet with a basket, had breakfast, got a grandfather clock out, got up, showered then cycled off with Mr K Cheese still not having moved an inchOn a Mission to lose 20 stone..Get My Life Back

Loved it! I'm going to forward it to my colleagues, especially the petrol heads!
Can I ask you how did you get round the copyright issue with the music? I uploaded a vid on youtube in January and the sound was blocked (I eventually took it down) despite me disputing. The vid had 3 songs, was up for a couple of weeks with sound on, then sound blocked. I was livid!
Oh, and the driver who swerves into you, what an resented idiot!! I would have scratched his/her stupid car. Is not that he/she could have gone after you, is it? LOL!!!
Again, loved it. Excellent work!0 -

Here's another one! :shock: OMG, Gaz, you're a MENACE!

As a reformed RLJ'r, this is disgraceful. And you get a kick of posting video's up of your illegal activities, flouting the law, and bragging about speeding past, like darth vader, what may be disabled people trying to get to hospital, or to sign up for their disability living allowance....
I have not watched said video yet, but I will no doubt also see some pavement riding and shouting obsenities at pedestrians...
Good stuff!!"Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0 -
enjoyed that video a great deal. I will be showing it to anyone I know who claims that cyclists hold up traffic.
probably 80% of those vehicles had one person in them, yet so many people still can't think any further than their cars for getting to work/other short journeys. eejits0 -
But Gaz, the video cuts off before we see the actual lane closure and end o'gridlock!
Madness though.0 -
That's like every morning around my way0

Here is a clip of the traffic I generally commute in.....
Note that this is actually a pretty free flowing morning by the looks of things, the chaos is normally tenfold...

Excellent video. I've never encountered anything like a jam that long while cycling. If the motorists at the back could only have seen just how many vehicles were in front of them... :shock:

yeah sometimes I commute it's much faster. The mad thing I that it is deemed to dangerous for expats to drive so the company provides a driver! Not driven in almost 4 years!
On the plus side, you are WIDE awake when you get to your desk!!!0 -

Top video and really good quality.
Is the camera mounted to your helmet?
Any pics of your setup as it works really well.

Yeah something like that haha.
Combined with the heat and the sarcastic security Guard at the office (who always asks me if its raining, because I am sweating like mad), I probably do look a bit like that.0 -
Cheers Gaz.
Just won one for £9 so gonna see what I can come up with to rival yours.
