I think they could both do with taking a step back and revaluating what it's all about!

    I have very little sympathy for those who complain about 'wheel suckers', but this one is particularly amusing as he has clearly slowed down after completing the overtake, which is to say nothing of the million style points lost by wearing the grey/white shorts.

    The person recording the video has gained some style points for riding casually on the flat of the bar during the episode, rather than the hoods or drops (and so avoiding looking like he was trying), although he lost all style points when he uploaded the episode to youtube....

    As you say snakebite, I think they could both do with taking a step back...

    Ok, so I honestly wasted 8 minutes of my lunch time watching that?

    As you say, not important to anyone. They are both uninjured, nothing to shout about, they need to chill. Cyclegaz has lost a lot of style for uploading that.

    Sorry for taking another 30 seconds of your time in reading this!

    It was the other guy that started it but I do wonder whether having a helmet cam and a YouTube channel makes arguments more likely to happen or escalate ...

    I didn't think he had too much left. Aren't most of his vids the helmet cam warrior type stuff?

    Would all be fairly standard until some bell end put it up on YouTube.

    Just let it go! Doesn't need to recorded for posterity.

    Now it may be different in big cities, I can't comment, but here in the Shires there is a modicum of camaraderie amongst fellow cyclists.

    I think there is in London too, until someone demonstrates they're a bell end, then they're just a bell end

    Can't understand it. Clearly neither of them were making too much of an effort - so why's the nodder moaning about being wheelsucked when he went past the bloke and couldn't gap him, and why's the bloke with the camera got bent out of shape about a nodder in the first place? First one hasn't got a clue, second one got all butthurt about a nodder popping him and decided to upload it to tha internetz. Both of them need to man the fu(k up.

    It is handbags at dawn!

    Gaz used to post here, have to say not a video that makes him look good. nor does the tolling he does on his youtube channel

    he drafts closely/tailgates another rider.

    complaining that the rider moves across due to crossing woman, and he's drafting so closely, so he has to move as well.

    No need to a) record it and b) put it online.
