Eating cereal whilst driving and underlining one of the reasons I don't want a camera. Look out for this if you ride through Hampton Court.

I quite agree, way too many carbs for someone who isn't doing any exercise; if she's going to eat that much she should be cycling to burn some of it off.Eating cereal whilst driving and underlining one of the reasons I don't want a camera.

A slam dunk 'not in proper control' offence, insurance company's really like the CU endorsement codes as it allows them to really load up those premiums.
Do hope it goes to court!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -

She was hungry. I've had a cereal bar, twix, snickers while driving. Also had a drink.
McDonalds is surprisingly easy to eat while behind the wheel...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 -

When you buy one of those cameras, you have to agree to spend every ride looking for people who might be doing something wrong, rather than looking where you're going.How, on earth, did he even see that from that distance?Pannier, 120rpm.0 -

Bloke dithering at 10mph yesterday morning along Great Eastern Street/Curtain Road, chopping/swerving lanes and then indicating at last moment eating a large egg/bacon type sandwich. Got him on camera but it was only worth a bit of abuse as I (eventually safely) overtook.1997 Gary Fisher Big Sur

Must have been brown. Ketchup would warrant more than mere abuse.Bloke dithering at 10mph yesterday morning along Great Eastern Street/Curtain Road, chopping/swerving lanes and then indicating at last moment eating a large egg/bacon type sandwich.

i still dont get the wearing a camera on your commute, unless you live in some remote mountains you're guaranteed to come across dozens of people doing illegal things on bikes, cars, foot etc.
where do you draw the line, who's to say the idiots that wander around the streets of London walking blindly into the road whilst stuck to whatever crap is on their phones is any better or worse than someone eating drinking or smoking in a car?
none of those things are right legal or even sensible but riding around like some kind of mobile vigilante that's not the right way, imo the right way is via the pocket.
Extremely harsh penalties like XX% of your annual salary or a years ban etc. that would take away the casual attitudes.
More importantly think about the extra weight and aero spoiling effects of a camera, oh no no no thanksRule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.0 -
You London types are waaaay late on this fad, we've had it up here for a couple of years:

Any muppet can drive an automatic at 2mph whilst eating cereal. Far safer than peeling a banana on a bike. Let me know when you get hit by Count Chocula and I'll send you flowers.English Cycles V3 | Cervelo P5 | Cervelo T4 | Trek Domane Koppenberg0 -
I don't use mine much - keep forgetting to charge it - but I got mine after almost being left hooked by one tipper truck and overtaken by one behind. It was the single most scariest moment I have had on a bike, and made me realise that if anything bad happened, people would think I had gone up the inside, when I wouldn't do so in a million years. So at least when they scraped me up off the road and managed to retrieve the memory card, my street cred as a law abiding cyclist would be intact.i still dont get the wearing a camera on your commute, unless you live in some remote mountains you're guaranteed to come across dozens of people doing illegal things on bikes, cars, foot etc.

Am not one for the helmet cam vigilante stuff - apart from anything else I can't work out the GoPro software to retrieve anything but the whole set of footage. I still have hours of footage from a recent cycling holiday in Jordan that I haven't quite worked out how to edit down yet :roll:Commute: Chadderton - Sportcity0 -

Most people could probably drive an automatic at "2mph" whilst texting or liking a picture of kitten, but I would rather not cross paths with them as they have access to an accelerator pedal whilst distracted - like the muesli muncher in the video.

Fixed it because for someone as untidy as me that kind of thing irritates me far more than it should. Anyway, about this pizza...Oh FFS - I can't be bothered sorting out the quotes in that last post.

It was Pizza Hut. I wouldn't invite my worst enemy to a Pizza Hut but my niece insisted that was what she wanted. And in spite of thinking it was rubbish I still ate too much, although stayed away from the "ice cream factory".
Thanks for tidying up Veronese - my OCD made me log on this morning to do it but you beat me to it
