I’d ignore it ! With no TRO (or whatever they call it) signed how can they even stop walkers?According to my colleagues
According to my colleagues very warped.
Sorry – just my warped sense

I thought it was clear I had corrected it to ‘Arrogance’ and ‘Attitude’.
I picked up on the licence thing because it seemed to suggest cyclists had no appreciation of roadcraft and laws as they did not need a licence. I think it is as important to demonstrate these have been acquired in another manner.
Yep from 16:40
Just checked and it was ‘Arrogance’ and ‘Attitude’ – from 16:40
Also disappointed when they talked about cyclists having no training or licence that one of them didn’t say 80-85% of cyclists are drivers.
The other thing I thought
The other thing I thought they got completely wrong was the whole “being aggressive” when in fact it is being assertive. I will position myself to deter overtakes at pinchpoints, I’ll ride primary to stop mgifs joining a stationary line of traffic or the classic bully boy tactics. Had that on Monday, some bloke in his 60s felt that since he was in a car, it was ok to drive continuously on the wrong side of the road to over take parked cars, despite 3 obvious places to pull in.
I tended up with both of us statonary on my side of the road with him just past a space where 2 cars could have parked. So I shouted “that’s where you should have pulled in to let me by” but of course might is right and I should have doffed my cap.
I will admit to being aggressive…when some twunt tries to put my life in danger because they can’t wait a few seconds or are just a shit driver who can’t plan beyond the end of their bonnet.

“None of the other sports you mention bring you into contention with motorists.”
Nail. Head.
When I played rugby, I wore
When I played rugby, I wore rugby kit; basketball, basketball kit; running, running kit (well my wife does); cricket, cricket kit; croquet tournaments, croquet kit (and don’t get me started on Hurlingham dress rules). Even if I go kayaking, I’ll wear a technical top (the horror) – that must put off people in their inflatable dingies.
Oddly enough, when I’m cycling, I wear cycling clothes – why would I want to wear out trousers or get oil over them ?
According to the programme, since I wear gloves, I’m some sort of elitest and there was me thinking they are handy if I come off or the chain comes off.
On the one hand cycling is elitest due to aero bikes and kit and on the other cycling is really accessible – just look at the take up of hire bikes in cities. Oh, so those people aren’t put off by others riding in suitable attire for a longer, faster trip.
I’m not sure what the programme was trying to tell us, but shit infrastructure and crap drivers put people off more than anything else.
Surely you’ve heard all those
Surely you’ve heard all those drivers shouting at runners “ooh, look at you with your technical top, garmin forerunner 945 and Asics Gel-Kayano 27 for your over pronation. Who do you think you are ? Roger Black?”
“And you aren’t using your glutes enough”

Does it have enough storage to run all day long ?

I included extracting the relevant 4 to 5 minute part of the recording as ‘editing’ ie you need to use a video editor. I’m given to understand that this also enables you to remove any gratuitous language but I wouldn’t know anything about that part, definitely not.
You can’t edit beyond that without falling foul of the law.
I’ve got a basic drift ghost x, the app is better now but I tend to do what I need by slotting the sd card into a laptop.
I must be doing quite well now being selective on submissions as I have 5 in a row (edit now 6 – better change my username to snitch for the resident trolls).
If you want to report the bad
If you want to report the bad driving, I’m afraid you will have to do a bit of editing.
Cyclic does look good from the videos I have seen. A cheaper option is drift ghost xl just does the basics, but has good battery life.
Never knew this Smith’s song
Never knew this Smith’s song was about how much you love your bike
Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
No, it’s not like any other love
This one is different, because it’s us
Hand in glove
We can go wherever we please
And everything depends upon
How near you stand to me
And if the people stare
Then the people stare
Oh, I really don’t know and I really don’t care
Kiss my shades
Hand in glove
The good people laugh
Yes, we may be hidden by rags
But we’ve something they’ll never have
Skidmark?
Skidmark?
