Reminds me of the time I squeezed between a street-cleaner and a bus on Wallsend High Street. I had plenty of room but the bus driver didn't think so and slammed his brakes on, oh how I smirked to myself as I sped off! 8)

Wallsend High street - horrible place to cycle. Chav's in Citroen Saxo's trying to knock you off on their way to KFC. Now Chillingham Road, there's a dodgy place to ride!

Wallsend high street ain't too bad early in the morning, do a rat run on the way out. Agree with you about Chilli Road.

First view for me as well, that camera man nearly hits a police car by jumping a red light and on the wrong side of the road at 1:26!!!

I've seen a police cyclist speed after a roadie on his police mountain bike in the City of London and he booked him for jumping a red light it must have been, he chased after him, and wasn't a small bloke either, he looked like a rugby player but caught up with the roadie and pulled him over and got his book and pen out!

He's got his own website with more videos on it here!

Why hasn't the police hunted him down yet?

Pina,

I was not aiming my comments at yourself or anyone else on here, more at the Youtube generation that will see this film and think it is

DD - I didnt think it was aimed at me - no worries.

Lucas Brunelle filmed all these. He truly is living the hipster wet dream. Nathan Barley on a bike, truly is the rise of the idiots.

The guy is called Lucas Brunelle ( http://www.digave.com/videos/) it was pretty fresh when it came out 10 years ago before the whole, trendy fixie thing took off.

If he didn't nasally slur his words like a drunk and if he rode a gorgeous Italian job with gorgeous Italian bits he'd probably have got a first class hotel room free (not that I watched the whole thing, just fwd'd the boring bits and naff commentary).
So there :P J McDonald.
