Is this how all Londoners ride? What a fool, there's nothing else to say really is there?

No it is not how all londoners ride. Some ride well, some ride stupidly, some ride fast, some ride slow, some run red lights, some don't, some hug the kerb, some ride in primary, some use lights and high-vis, some prefer the cycling ninja approach.

Unless the person in the video is doing all this and more then it is not how all londoners ride. I don't even need to watch the video.

Yep, ALL Londoners guv, but only when we're not singing knees up mother brown and eating jellied eels.

That's what I thought, although I was surprised he didn't have a pearly coat on.....

Seriously, if you wanted to show-off a new tool you were selling, would you have this as an advertisement? Maybe I'm missing the fixed/ss scene down here in the southwest, but riding like that can only inflame the Daily Mail readers of the world even further.

Surely it only looks fast cos his little legs are spinning round so much. What pansy gear ratio is he pushing?

Want to change gear while on the road? Try using a derailleur.
Typical London wannabe :roll:
