Tally Ho! Buses at 4 o'clock!
This "tribute" to bus drivers in London made me giggle like a loon.

And I thought they were bad in Leeds
When I'm on my bike, I work on the assumption that car drivers haven't seen me; and that bus drivers have seen me, and are actively trying to kill me.

That they felt the need to pass him before pulling in
Some of them that they felt the need to pull in before completely passing him.
Happens every day. He needs to ride further out in the lane to stop it.

I was going to say, riding that far inside a bus
lane is practically asking for that to happen.
Needs to cycle faster too.

thats crazy man!
slowing down to enter the bus lane behind the cyclist? holding up everyone behind them, creating traffic, stopping the flow of traffic....
cars behind him, will put their foot-down and overtake...probably hitting a cyclist every now and then.
rather than using the ENGINE to get ahead?
i think the buses should fit roman style spinning blades to their wheels and get closer.

A bus driver writes..
I think well over 50% of them clips were down to the cyclist being a cock. I'm sure a reciprical video made by city bus drivers of the stupid irresponsible shit cyclists get up to would be a bit more eye-opening.

I didn't say he wasn't
I just liked the idea of buses being like WW2 planes dogfighting.
Don't say you wouldn't like to drive with a white silk scarf, handle-bar moustache and goggles?

Forgive me: is this better with sound? (I'm at work)
In places that chap is cycling like a complete nobber. And as for going on the pavement. *tsk*
(speaking as someone who cycles across Bristol at least twice a day, where the buses & cars are awful & I appear to be the only cyclist who stops at red lights/doesn't go on pavements)

It's definitely not better with sound!
Also; hello fellow Bristolian!
As someone who regularly walks across town rather than using the bus, and who is just getting back in to cycling I wholeheartedly agree.
When did riding on the pavement get to be acceptable, if not 'the norm'?
E: well, the music's good, but it's so distorted!

Alroight me babber?! (said in refined london accent)
Agree completely- my cycle is almost 4 miles each way. I can now do this completely on cyclepaths/designated shared paths (apart from the 10m between the Arnolfini & Prince St bridge).
Surely, with all this money being pumped into cycle-routes you'd think it'd encourage better cycling, not worse. And yet Bristol's got the most pious, reactionary, chip-heavy-shouldered cyclists I've come across.
