Apologies for the language, I really thought I was about to see chunks.

    Hi Viz and a Helmet are rendered fairly useless if you cycle like that.

    This video got me the job on a TfL viral lorry advert, hopefully out in two weeks time.

    He still goes down the left hand side of the lorry.. the fool!

    Are you Australian? :shock:

    I did at the time, Fossy, but not here. Reposted it because of the lorry topic, and having filmed that lorry advert.

    Woolies went bust because of the three week wait in the queues.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    The guy is clearly a tool. It's the lorry driver I feel for in this instance and then any one who witnesses the cyclist being crushed or anyone who is subsequently held up by his idioacy. Oh and the emergency services that would have the grim task of picking his remains out from under the wheels of the truck then telling his next of kin that he was dead.

    jesus, thats the vauxhall one way system isn't it !

    I cycle a similar route to you for part of my route it would seem. I'm very new to this game (not even 2 weeks in yet) but I'm gobsmacked at all the red light running and undertaking of buses and trucks that goes on.

    I'm still trying to learn light timings on my route at the moment, but once my fitness is better and I know them, I'll consider filtering downt he middle to get to the front, otherwise I'm happy sat back. It's not worth it for saving 2-3 minutes over my 13 mile commute !

    its so difficult to watch him do it again even though you know he's going to - what a plank. Vauxhall Cross is not ever to be taken lightly
