Bristol Post goes rabid about cyclist “without lights”

Not live in Clifton but did have a coffee shop on Cotham Hill and went under the name of Havanacoffe on Twitter but that account is no longer it seems, the new name he’s hiding behind and still posting rare videos of cyclist in the wrong in his opinion is https://twitter.com/Cyrusrecyclings

One of his meaningless  moans is why cyclists aren’t using the cycle lane along Baldwin Street, guess it has nothjing to do with the cars parked in the cycle lane then.

Under his previous Twitter account he filmed stuff on a phone allegedly on a windscreen mount that wobbled around as if it was handheld even showing the dash of the car.

I bet that driver is the sort who lives in Clifton and puts spikes on the trees to prevent birds from crapping all over his car.

Most Bristol Post articles start with “This Is Why” or “This Is What” and then proceed to ramble about pretty much nothing.

This is basically the demise of print and the erosion of journalistic standards in the millenial society. Nobody writes anything of worth, it’s why news sites (Road.CC included) don’t employ anyone who writes quality original content and it’s why the Bristol Post or the Exeter “Excess and Error” (Express & Echo) post Cyclist VS Car stories, Dog Walkers Vs Runners, Gardners VS Youths stories.

It’s click bait simple as…install a powerful adblocker, block your Localhost DNS servers or do whatever it is possible to do to prevent websites who monetise content profiting from the tripe they publish.

Usual utter rubbish from BP.

The cyclist even had lights as well.

What a joke. I often cycle

What a joke. I often cycle down Coronation Road and when the traffic is heavy, you’re faced with a choice of overtaking on the inside (my preferred option when there’s room) or overtaking on the outside like this chap did. It’s a bit scary going to the outside of the stationary traffic as the oncoming vehicles tend to go quite fast (there’s less traffic going that direction) and they don’t care if you’re within the dashed lines or not.

I can’t see anything particularly wrong with what the cyclist did here. If they had video of my riding, it’d probably look a lot worse as I often switch from inside to outside of traffic depending on space – a classic “weaving in and out” to really wind up the metal box people.

Sometimes, the motons can get really wound up if they’re not used to that road as there’s a “shared path” on the pavement, but it’s typically useless with the cycling side having lots of lampposts and trees (big enough to completely block the cycle side).

Extraordinary.  The ‘careful’

Extraordinary.  The ‘careful’ driver gets too close and nearly drives into the bloke on the bike who’d cycled off slower than he’d expected, then has the gall to say it was the rider’s fault.

Sums up what is wrong, generally, with drivers.  This guy actually thinks he’s a careful driver.

“The cyclist rode off into

“The cyclist rode off into the dark uninjured.”

The only ‘news’ in that whole segment isn’t even newsworthy. What a nasty rag.
