I'd seen a lot of the clips before, the ones showing the few cyclists blatantly filtering without a care towards the end of the program were shocking, it's only a matter of time before they end up as road kill, I can see why cyclists get a bad name with people like around, riding on the wrong side of the road, one even cut a police car up on the opposite side.

The one clip where a reckless cyclist gets wedged between a bus and a pick up truck, zero sympathy from me tbh, he put himself in that area /danger when he didn't need to.

All very true.
The quote of the show for me was "they wouldn't do that if the had license plates"

It's only a matter of time before pushbikes have to pay to be on the roads, anyway then it'll be unpopular again. :-({|=

I have it on Sky+ so if it isn't on iplayer I can burn it a disc

It won't be long before the cyclist bashing members of the Org tune into this thread and label us with the same tag as all these commuters and dispatch riders.

I can't ever see cyclits paying to use the roads as it goes against what the Govenment is trying to do and get the people out of their fortresses of solitude and doing some much needed exercise.


Who'd police it and do the admin in a time where the govenment are trying to reduce govenment spending, it's a non starter as there's not even enough policemen about to do normal traffic work.

Some really carp driving and some really carp cycling. People on two wheels are there because they enjoy cycling/motorcycling and have chosen this mode of transport. Most people on four wheels are there because they have to get from A to B and they would rather be somewhere else and that's where their mind is, it's somewhere else.
If your on two wheels it doesn't matter who is a fault, all that matters is that YOU WILL come off worse.
90% of the time I would side with the cyclist but in London I'd say its 50/50

The first cyclist is a complete knob. Yes the cab was close but he wasn't ever in the blue cycle lane even when not overtaking slower bikes. He was looking for that argument IMO.

Agreed, he is a complete love organ the whole way through that programme and was kicking off as often as he could
