I always wonder whether it's fish or low notes that he's particularly fond of0

Bassjunkie doesn't like riding a bike and talking about it on the Internet.
What he likes doing is:
Complaining about every single motorised vehicle that overtakes him. Or creeps into the ASL. Or burns Amber. Or does something marginally wrong or in breach of the highway code. This has now extended to bicycles as well.
Legend has it that he now only exists to ride his bike looking for cars to overtake him so he can spend his time arguing with them, complaining about them to MPs and posting footage of the overtake so he can complain it some more.
I often wonder if he still enjoys riding a bike.
One such footage did demonstrate that he hasn't lost any of his bike handling skills though.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

There is a classic horror film about a ventriloquist dummy which is haunted/possessed and enslaved the ventriloquist.
Maybe helmet cams are the same.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

I think its fair to assume he's a naysayer on getting the snip otherwise he would have had one about six kids ago!FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future

Yeah he was going a fair wack. When I was watching it I was torn between not being bothered to dodge and if I dodge I'm just going skid out and land on the floor anyway - better to take the drivers insurance with me...bails87 wrote:

Despite those skills he still hit that Porsche and I'm sure he could have missed that needing less poise and guile.Food Chain number = 4

I like the way that they wait until he is within striking distance before doing the turn.bails87 wrote:

I know. I expected the car to just go when it reached the junction. But I saw she'd stopped and was obviously waiting for me to go before she turned so thought it was safe to keep pedalling! Just before she starts moving, the silver car behind her (the one whose wheels turn at the end of the video to drive around me and leave the scene of the collision while I'm still lying on the ground going "oooooowwwww") beeped his horn at her. He obviously didn't know I was there*, but she did, so I'd rather she'd ignored the horn and used her brain.
*That said, I've met that driver before, he nearly hit me due to him not looking, then deliberately drove at me twice, in front of numerous witnesses who confirmed what had happened to the police, who sent him a letter asking him to drive more carefully if he didn't mind ever so much thankyou please. So maybe he did know I was there and is just a c**t. I suspect he his because he drove off without even sticking his head out of the window to say "y'alright?"0
