Here's one of the most bizarre helmet camera videos I've ever seen, in which a rider walking her bike, minding her own business and behaving perfectly and utterly legally is subjected to anti-cycling opinions offered unsolicited by a complete stranger.
YouTuber leveret day remains remarkably calm throughout the encounter despite being told that cyclists, including presumably herself "are their own worst enemy" and "deserve to die'. Lovely.
The encounter happened on the morning of Friday November 20 as she was pushing her bike in South Kensington.
She said: "This stranger walked up behind me and started talking to me. Note that this was not the result of any encounter between us as I was actually cycling along. I was just wheeling my bike along, to cross the road at the traffic lights.
"To begin with I thought he was perhaps a cyclist commiserating about recent tragic cyclist deaths with some rather uncomfortable 'gallows humour' … but then he used the words 'road tax' and was alas shown to be just a really vile man.
"I'm not at my most articulate but really I was quite thrown by how to respond to him.
He didn't seem to mind that I had my helmet camera recording so, well, here we go."
Her response is a great lesson in how to remain calm in the face of random unreasonable nonsense, pointing out that nobody pays road tax and despite being trained and licensed, drivers still do reckless things.
I have to wonder though, would this man have offered his odious opinions to a male rider?
Update: did this man see Claire Hitier-Abadie die?
A blog entry containing opinions eerily similar to those espoused by the man in this video has emerged. In it, the blogger identifying himself as James Nash writes: "I saw the crash at Victoria station when a cyclist was crushed by a tipper truck and yes, as expected the cyclist was weaving in and out of traffic with no care for other road users and paid the penalty and another one bites the dust."
(The blog has since been deleted, but a screenshot of a later version of it is here.)
The blog posting is dated February 20, the day after Claire Hitier-Abadie died after being hit by a tipper truck at Victoria.
Police are appealing for witnesses to that crash. I hope James Nash has come forward with his account.
Update 2: Denial, admission & counter-claim
James Nash initially denied he had been the person in the video, but now seems to be admitting it.
As he has deleted all the content of his blog, discussion has moved to a post on his Google Plus page.
He denies saying that cyclists deserve to die, despite it being clearly audible in leveret day's video of Nash telling her his thoughts on cycling, and then claims the video was "taken out of context".
He says he was struck by leveret day as she mounted the kerb and then received "a torrent of abuse" from her.
He wrote: "What happened was thast I was walking along Cromwell Road the other day about to cross over to the other side of the street when, all of a sudden I was struck by a cyclist mounting the pavement as I was about to step off and cross the road. My thirst thoughts was to enquire regarding the cyclist's well-being when all of a sudden I was receiving a torrent of abuse from the said individual."
Leveret day responded: "It's lucky that I've kept the video footage of the time prior to our 'conversation'. Will be posting it up soon. Interestingly it doesn't show me striking you at all!"
And indeed it doesn't. Here it is:
James Nash has been asked several times if he has given a witness statement regarding the death of Claire Hitier-Abadie, which he claimed to have witnessed. He has so far failed to respond.
In recognition of the fact that it has been claimed James Nash is mentally ill, comments on this story have been locked.

I had exactly the same thing
I had exactly the same thing when I was cycling on Friday. I was taking a break to look at my map and had a complete stranger come up to tell me the cycling has no benefits and is the most dangerous thing I could do- backing this up by saying he spent 5 and a half months in hospital after being hit by a car not wearing a helmet.
Bear in mind I was wearing a helmet, fluoro jacket and front and rear lights- hardly my fault he wasn’t wearing a helmet.
Makes me wish I’d had my head cam >.<
Off topic… but I had an
Off topic… but I had an interesting experience this morning.
Commuting in, and going through a set of lights I found myself effectively moving up the left side of an articulated lorry… this in turn was following the road which curved gently to the left.
The point I’d quickly add here is that the lorry was in the far right hand lane of a three lane carriageway, his lane was blocked, mine was free… so I was not about to get crushed or anything.
Anyway, the lorry is moving slowly (5-10mph) I’m travelling at about 15mph, and I’m maintaining a consistent distance from the side of the truck (1-1.5m), when suddenly the lorry stops and starts beeping its horn at me.
Now I get this… his trailor is following a different arc to his cab, and I can understand that someone could be caught out by this… i.e I was not really following what best practice.
So I understand what he was moaning about.
The point however is this… He could clearly see me. I was supposedly in this famous blind spot we all hear about, and he clearly saw me.
Anyway, I digress.
Not sure the man in the video was actively bullying, I think he felt that he had a valid opinion that he wanted to share beyond his 12 followers. The woman in question did as good a job as possible.
Oh the old red herring. Road
Oh the old red herring. Road CC please don’t say ‘nobody pays road tax’ just because they call it something else. In the context that to drive certain vehicles on the road, a tax is paid then it is a road tax. No semantics can change that. It also doesn’t account for the rest of the £50 billion a year that are exclusive driver taxes either.
If the cycle Lobby wants to win an argument, dishonesty isn’t the way to do it.
I don’t support a road cycling tax or registration but I cannot support any statement that denies that drivers pay exclusive taxes to drive either. Please try to be honest about this and educate your members to be also.

To All My Followers……………
It is surprising that there have not bee more fatalities on the roads within England due to the INCOMPETENCE of CYCLISTS.
I’m not lambasting anyone who does cycle but I have seen cyclists cycle through red lights, give NO HAND SIGNALS to let other road users what the cyclist is going to be doing
EVERYONE RIDING A BICYCLE SHOULD PASS THEIR CYCLING PROFICIENCY TEST AND KNOW THE GREEN CROSS CODE the RULES AND REGULATIONS FOE ROAD USERS otherwise THERE WILL BE MORE CYCLIST DEATHS ON THE ROADS.
for example.
Riding a Bicycle:
A Cyclist should and MUST CYCLE NEXT TO THE KERB AT ALL TIMES and NEVER EVER CYCLE MORE THAN ONE ABREAST ON THE ROAD as depicted by the CYCLING ROAD CODE because there are OTHER ROAD USERS ASWELL and they will never be held responsible for the STUPID ANTICS OF CYCLE RIDERS WHO HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW TO RIDE A BICYCLE and for this reason reason I am surprised that has not been more DEATHS ON THE ROADS OF ENGLAND DUE TO CYCLISTS INCOMPETENCE.
Like it or not this is a fact of life.
The Rules of the Road for the Cyclists who should and MUST PASS THEIR CYCLING PROFICIENCY TEST PRIOR TO RIDING A BICYCLE will inevitably minimize accidents now and in the future.
When I started to ride a bicycle I passed my CYCLING PROFICIENCY TEST a RED TRIANGLE METAL BADGE WITH A CYCLE WITHIN THE MIDDLE AND A LIGHT GREEN BACKGROUND
IF CYCLISTS DO NOT PASS THEIR CYCLING PROFICIENCY TEST THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE DEATHS ON THE ROADS DUE TO CYCLISTS INCOMPETENCE LIKE IT OR NOT THIS IS A FACT OF LIFE< I@M SORRY IF THIS SOUNDS OFFENSIVE BUT ITS TRUE. SLOWING DOWN: The cyclists arm near the road should out - streached their arm with the hand horizontal which should then be lowered and then highered indicating to traffic that the cyclist is slowing down. TURNING LEFT: The cyclist should streach their left arm out as they approach the corner turning left and continue to do so until the cyclist has turned left indicating to traffic that the cyclist is slowing down and turning left. TURNING RIGHT: The cyclist should glance over their shoulder to see where the traffic is coming and out stretch their right arm keeping it straight indicting to the the traffic behind that the cyclist is about to leave the kerb on the left side of the road and is about to move over to the right, when the traffic eases the cyclist should immediately cycle over to the the RIGHT HAND SIDE of the road and wait at the junction to cycle turning right. Traffic coming up behind the CYCLIST will see that. HAPPY CYCLING
Very helpful of him. I will
Very helpful of him. I will bear it in mind. Although I am now at greater risk as I shall be shaking with laughter every time I recall his advice
Looking at the Linked In
Looking at the Linked In profile, if indeed that is him, I actually feel quite sorry for the guy.
33 years in one job, rising to be a deputy manager, looks like he got caught out when the company went bust, his partner was ill, and been unemployed for a long time.
Unfortunately the profile is a shambles and says to anyone looking that he really doesn’t know this stuff, which wouldn’t help his prospects.
Bizarrely he is in one of the same professional groups as me, though he appears to have no relevant background or experience. And we have three common connections. How about that for six degrees of Kevin Bacon.
This bit was ironically amusing though:
“I have experience within sales, customer service and an administration background with a friendly disposition, communication skills and IT skills for your public facing role with the ability to work under pressure with conflicting priorities.”
I don’t suggest or support any internet or social media witch-hunt (I also read that Jon Ronson article) but I do think people who claim to have communication skills should know better and understand the risks.

Within the 1st 12 seconds of that video Mr Nash manages to break both his beloved Highway Code and Green Cross Code.
Highway Code rule 18 ‘always cross between the studs’.
Green Cross Code; rule A ‘Do not cross the road diagonally’; B ‘Stop just before you get to the kerb’; C ‘Look all around for traffic’; &, E ‘Keep looking…for traffic’.
He sets such a good example to us all!

Cyclists come from somewhere, not nowhere. His account of the incident suggests that he didn’t first look properly, which would make him at fault.

Good point actually – forgot about that one. But pedestrians have priority at junctions, unless they are signalised. His account does not make it clear where the incident occurred. He may indeed have tried to cross against a red light himself, or simply stepped into the roadway without looking. Given his comments, it is entirely possible he has skirted around the truth. His lack of detail on the point suggests there may be more to the incident than he is revealing.
Overall I think he’s likely to find his employability has been severely reduced. You have to feel some sympathy for him as he’s probably had an unwelcome shock as to the power of the Internet. Let he who is innocent cast the first stone and all that…

I actually like all this anti cycling bile. The worse it gets the more it shows that the tide is turning as the minority who fear change bleat ever more loudly. The Government has realised that the country can’t continue supporting a culture where children have a lower health and life expectancy than their parents. Things are slowly improving through sheer weight of numbers cycling now.
On another note. Belated congratulations to Richard Hammond for getting up from that crash in St Petersburg and finishing the race. Without the crash he would have won again. They should get him to present the cycle show with Roger Hammobn just to piss that kippered potato Clarkson off.
