Stupid Greenway barriers that should be banned Location: East Ham, London (England, United Kingdom)
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpdyMBbSF_8 I was laden with shopping so I took the cyclepath (which is less convenient as towards the end shows). I heard this horn go off and turned to see a AJ58 NZB Swiss Laundry lorry tail ... [more]

See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi1foaNB_Ik You can't see very much here. A car coming towards me, then at about 10 seconds a sudden wiggle back and forth. This is me suddenly hearing brakes engage hard of a bus right behind ... [more]

See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0gjcSANqr0 Yep, not only do cars pass too close at times, so do cyclists. Of course if a car had been this close it'd have been really dangerous, a cyclist is not as bad. However, you do see m ... [more]

See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uX4vA4Og2I I can imagine loads of car drivers gently discombobulating about this clip and seeing cyclists do this. However, I believe I've done nothing wrong here. First, I see the lights a ... [more]
