    The Bike Comes First/Sticky Bottle.

    Does anybody know why both of these sites seem to be engaged in some class of a race to the bottom in terms of cringeworthy videos of cyclists acting like dicks or drivers acting like dicks.
    Every day now there is a new video clip of idiot behaviour. Have stopped following both as a result, but curious to know how two reasonably promising sites have deteriorated so badly.

    SB tweeted before that they publish the car-v-bike stuff to showcase the plight of cyclists. Or as NiceOneTom says... click bait.

    Yeah I get that it's click bait, but does every website have to degenerate to this derivative nonsense. Clearly the answer is, unfortunately, yes.

    Exactly why I stopped reading the sites too, thanks to all that crap one of my usual cycling buddies has turned into one of them lads that is now constantly contrary and moaning about cars on the road, yet the same lad hops in his car and moans about cyclists not doing what he would do :D it's a recent thing too thanks to all them videos, we were cycling for years without an utterance from the man!

    It doesn't help the car v bike brigade either, probably actually earns more sympathisers to each side
