If the cyclist had gone under the wheels, the bus driver would have been in the dock defending himself.
I’ve said it before, the task of driving large vehicles amongst cyclists in towns & cities is like being asked to drive through a kiddies playground and never have an incident.
Fanks for advice . Have just looked up ‘troll’ and can say definately not looking to ‘sow discord on internet’
But i do like to put counter argument as lorry drivers have a herd mentality that cycling is a bad thing devised only to momentarily slow them down . this thought process is confirmed in their driving styles of continually cutting up cyclists and not pulling out to overtake , which leads to so many cyclists injured .
I have had a loose strap whip me across the back by driver who didnt pull out at all, ive had lorries turn left across me with no indication and ive been blown clean off the bike by passing idiot who cant be arsed to turn his steering wheel a little
My kids cant cycle to school because of ■■■■ lorry drivers, idiot bus drivers and out and out lunatic taxi ■■■■■

Yes you are

counter argument? Dont think so. Its aggressive posting designed with the sole intention of provoking an angry response. Or sowing discord on the internet if you like. To be a counter argument you need to take a post you dont agree with and put your point across. Filling it with insults and bad language makes it aggresive and therefor NOT a counter argument but instead trolling.

And the guy in the video who went through the red light and smacked into a double decker bus was doing what exactly?

You should have moved a bit closer to the verge then shouldnt you. you must have heard the lorry come up behind to overtake and you didnt think that MAYBE there might be a bit of danger?
boredwivdrivin:

Anyone with any sense would have saw the brake lights come on and anticipated the lorry turning and held back a bit. Have you no sense of anticipation?

He must have turned it a little,otherwise he’d have driven over the top of you instead of having to go a round you.

Lesson here is use a mountain bike for cities
I like a clatter thru london on my Anthem X1 . He could have wrote the bus off with mtb
Traffic lights are for traffic .
Cyclists are not traffic .
So things i do in scania dont apply
Learn to love cyclists .
Cause we just a bit superior to pedestrians and car commuters
Will post a pic of my anthem stuck up a tree when i can work out how
I suspect you’re taking the ■■■■ here, but just in case you aren’t.
It clearly states “All road users”. There’s even a little picture of a bike to help avoid confusion. If you are genuine (which I suspect not), then you are the reason I have to defend myself as a (former) cyclist.

And to the other plonker : class 1 for 20 years , from the days you could just do it straight off . from when airlines were yellow green and red

Footing idiots
Oh forgot my fav : following fowler welch into belvedre he managed to hit the kerb on every ■■■■■ . once the near side then the center island as well . was it a surprise to him ? Did the ■■■■■ move ? Was he a joy rider ?
No he was just a ■■■■ driver with no sense who never looks where he is going or what his trailer is doing .
Should have been up in the stand for dangerous driving

er no I dont. I offer advice if I can,I offer counter arguments if I dont agree with someone and I post whimsical comments to make people chuckle. Thats not trolling. Are you sure you looked it up?
boredwivdrivin:

Well if youd moved over to the left you wouldnt have got hit with the loose strap would you? Its common sense
boredwivdrivin:

Yes. See the little red things? Those are brake lights. If they light up like little fairy lights then that means the guys braking so in all likely hood hes going to turn. You think to yourself “hmmm,this driver is going to turn here” and you could slow down. Anticipate the turning. Cyclists love to play the “drivers should anticipate our actions” card so it should work both ways.

Not a tunnel vision idiot but I have been wrong once before. September 2006. My GF said to take a coat as it would rain. I said it wouldnt. And it rained. Oh how we laughed
boredwivdrivin:

Being able to ride fast down a hill doesnt mean they know what they’re doing. Have you taught them road signs? Road sense? The law? Probably not. So telling me they know how to ride a bit because they can let gravity do its job is a bit far fetched

what an interesting life you must have. you sound a right laugh a minute. But exaggerating what you see does not automatically make it true. No driver can be too fat to connect suzzies. They need to do it multiple times a day or they cant drive anywhere so your “example” is now proven lies. Tsk tsk
Hitting parked trailers? Was it the front of the trailer? And they were reversing? Because thats called “coupling up”,and its ok to hit the trailer with the 5th wheel. It needs to do that to connect. I suspect in actual fact THATS what your seeing. Thought you had 20yrs experience?
boredwivdrivin:

the cyclist in the original video didnt see a big traffic light with a red light showing OR a 15’ high,35’ long double decker bus. Hardly a glowing endorsment for cyclist superiority is it! If your kind cant avoid a bus then your arguments are pointless.

Nope your defo not a troll, trust me I know this stuff, perhaps at best just providing a counter perspective for added longevity to the debate.
In fairness any so called pro driver who cant handle a cyclist or two is pretty ■■■■ poor behind the wheel.
Dont get me wrong as cyclists go they are a massive hazard in cities and the more seasoned driver will realise its best to hang back as they can make faster progress anyway.
The trick is to realise that in the scheme of things its a vunerable road user we have duty dare I say obligation to protect.
Not sure I would waste time hunting down someone who cut me up though as theres no logic in emotional responses controlling ones actions, perhaps this is just your effort at making empty threats to emphasise a point of view.
Point is snowman : can only see brake lights when vehicle IS PAST u !!!
And if you move to left you hit an immovable object called a KERB !!
Comprehendy ■■?
And i would have had to move along way to left as wassock had about 15ft of strap dangling ! Get da drift ■■
FYI u arse they are hitting trailers with THEIR trailer . go and look at the side of most box/ fridges !!
Fink i might know how to couple a trailer ! And its plain not true that all drivers can get on the cat walk !! THEY SPLIT COUPLE !! Your mr know everything must know this !
Ya dave i dont hunt em down to shoot them with my AK . i hunt them down to offer advice and on one occassion take pics of them on the phone which i said will give to police . this i did not do but gets em worried and hopefully thinking , and in fairness this was a van driver not trucker
15 foot of strap dangling? Funny how it had not got caught up with anything. If you are going to talk ■■■■■■■■, please try and make it entertaining, as we are all getting boredwivreading.
boredwivdrivin:

Was it an artic? If so then the unit would have been short enough to see the lights on the unit. If it was a rigid,when he slowed down you would have had time to shoot past him. Its about anticipating his actions. Think
boredwivdrivin:

well jump your bike up on the kerb then. Its,what,5 inches?
boredwivdrivin:
And i would have had to move along way to left as wassock had about 15ft of strap dangling ! Get da drift ■■
15ft? That’ll be you exaggerating again. Even if it was,that length would sail behind like a scarf in an opentop car so you wouldnt REALLY need to move 15ft would you? A few feet at most
boredwivdrivin:

Take pics to show the police? Of what? This is the man who was driving the van? Thats not evidence. Thats just someone having their picture taken. Wouldnt get me worried. Id just smile and give you a thumbs up so it looked like I knew you.
So you offer “advice” do you? And ive given you advice to avoid accidents with lorries and you ■■■-pooed it? Shocking.
But if you ever get involved in anything,ill show the proof of your threats of violence earlier that your not the choir boy you pretend to be.

Nice work frozen chap. As my old man used to say - “There’s more than one way to skin a cat, Son”.
U r 18 carat .
Youll never guess what i saw recently - a big fat dude on a bicycle, red-faced and panting, struggling to hit 3mph and wobbling all over the high street. I think i might use this as a generic, stereotypical example of todays cyclists.
Such across-the-board generalisation seems to have been employed by some ■■■■■■■■ not too distanced from this very thread, so if it`s good enough for him…
