I'm posting this as a potential educational resource.
It's 2016 not 1916 If you want to use the same road as vehicles that contain numerous safety devices which have been developed over decades buy a car, they are safer.
Love it at the end where he rides off illegally along the pavement.
Before the cycle brigade get on their soap boxes I appreciate he has been in an accident but does that give him the right to break the law?
Another example of why cyclists should have insurance if they plan to use the road, if that car gets damaged and the cyclist rides off, who pays??
So you've for some odd reason decided your the authority on cycling education or more to the point taking a video showing none of the things your advising and typing some ill judge crap .
Either that cyclist came from the pavement or his road positioning was awful to begin with , why would he drop back to the curb after going past the first two parked vehicles when the white van was meters ahead .
Also he's all over the road like someone out of an 80s teen film and makes zero attempt to observe what's going on around him , also if your that dangerous you should maybe consider a helmet and cycle clips for your trousers .
Top driving from the camera car.. leaving plenty of space and not seeing red myst in so far as putting the desire to catch the idiot in the van above the need to stay safe. As for said idiot in van.. this is what you see in Manchester; a third-world crap-hole infested with a sizeable minority of third-world standard drivers. The van couldn't even stay out the bike box.. and you wonder why cyclists, drivers and pedestrians get pissed? And of course, the moment the lights change to green what happens? Let's race other drivers..especially if they have a camera (hmm something to hide messers white van prat?). People like the driver in this van are also partly responsible for the reason why so many cyclist (and drivers) are dying on our roads..selfish prat.
Good drive
