The ones where a cyclist gets cut up and the hunts down the perpetrator. Just had this sent through to me... Sums it all up perfectly :whistle:

Headphones on, or volume down as there is a bit of language used ;)

Please don't take this video the wrong way Shelly. This is about a growing number of cyclists who video, chase down and then start hurling abuse. Quite often it ends up in some kind of fight by the side of the road.

Its great that (in certain scenarios) it catches bad behavior and can be used for criminal or insurance purposes afterwards, but a lot of these guys are just doing it for the number of "views" on YouTube.

There are a lot of sensible cyclist who record stuff are fine and dandy, it is as usual a stupid minority who end up with some kind of god complex through doing it.

There are good and bad as in all walks of life, the problem is that the bad ones always get the benifit of the doubt where cyclists are involved, My opinion is that they should have a licence if the want to use them on public roads, have insurance, and have a theory test at least (after all they are required to know the same as other road users so whats the difference?), I have seen kids no older than seven on busy main roads wobbling all over the place. just by the sheer volume of traffic on our roads its about time that some regulations are put in place and that cyclists receive full training for there own safety. I understand that this would not stop the tragedies that happen daily on our roads due to poor driving, but if all vehicles that use the roads were regulated efficently it would make it a lot safer for all of us.

Looks a bit sus to me,IMO having been a amateur cyclist for 17yrs I believe that if you've got a driving licence and cycle on our p*** poor roads you'll have enough compassion for all road users and treat users as you'd like to be treated, no need for tuition if you hold licence and are experienced, the problem is inexperienced drivers who have no idea what it's like to be vulnerable, the problem for road users is the pressure the're all under when they embark on there journeys.
I must admit that I no longer cycle due to my age and the dangers that our overcrowded roads put on the vulnerable, which include amongst others, children, old poor sited people, horse riders and cyclists. If your a good driver ( and we all think we are) you'll have compassion for the vulnerable and treat them as such even if they do some unforgivable things, treat them all as if the're about to do something stupid and you won't have too much trouble, after all you'll at least be cutting down your thinking distance which just might be enough to save a life, stop a argument and or a fight. CAMERA'S on helmets aren't a threat to you, unless your in the wrong. If you not convinced buy one and wear it on your head in your car.(love all). Rha, Roy.

H T, glad you've seen the funnier side of what is a serious problem for a country which is seen to be one of the advanced few in this crazy world, the transport infrastructure in this country has been left wanting since they decided to use the road fund licence fee for every thing other than its roads and Boris Johnson is a cyclist, I rest my case.:facepalm:

Nothing changes bud, I got run of my racing bike on my way to school in the 70's and it was my fault.
Shame it was your fault HT hope you didn't suffer too much,but what ever you do don't tell Mark, just spent most of the day with Mark at the meet and I can see why you two get along so well, enjoyed his company immensely( if Im allowed to say that).;)
