    I confess I did use the word ‘bloody’ but I feel that is less profane than ‘shitty’.

    I agree with others on here, seems to be over reporting of this stuff. Anyone wanting to start cycling would be put off!! I’ve notched up 50 years on the roads this year started in Devon, South London, Oxford and until 2016 37 years in the Bristol Area now back in Devon and have been fairly lucky iover the years in respect of bad situations. Sure there are shit motorists out there, as are there bad cyclists. If you regualrly communte in a large town / city, you are going to face some agro by  generally impatient britain.you can go looking for confrontationas well which doesn’t do our cause any favours, and the Police just don’t have the resources to check evey piece of video sent in.  All this vigilante stuff with cameras is depressing.  Bit of give and take, Yes we have rights but most of us do this cycling lark for pleasure – even commuting. I’ve said this before on here , why don’t road cc start an E Petrition to get the bad driving and state of our roads debated in Parliailment?   Rant over


    Vigilante??
    I got a camera because of the number of close passes and people pulling out in stead of giving way.
    I don’t need to look for stuff or provoke anything to create a situation.

    If it is fine on the smaller chain wheel across all sprockets, then not sure the angle is the issue.
    Big to big might be worth checking the position of the rear cage.

    Rear derailleur sounds a good bet.

    Came across this absurdity today in Dover https://goo.gl/maps/bE7Zmd8RBoz
    The lane continues with a marked car lane that is not wide enough for a car.
    And it’s national cycle route 1.

    1. I live here and know that road very well.

    2.  I wasn’t aware there had to be a cycle symbol along the entire length of the cycle lane


    Sorry the emoticon was too subtle.

    Compare that to someone running over a pedestrian at a crossing because they were too busy looking at the radio whilst speeding to pick up their kids from school and there are some stark differences.
    Differences? – normally car drivers get off with a slapped wrist unless of course it involves another car in which case it is a wholly different set of judgements.
