I'm actually for him! Goes mental if anyone goes past him, starts shouting abuse and giving the finger and then claims they're trying to pick a fight with him!

He has a serious anger problem, I get the feeling he doesn't have many friends

He also has some of the worst road positioning and observational skills I have ever seen. I have a helmet cam as well, never felt the need to put anything up on YT, if its that bad, the Gardaí can have it. He never seems to look over his shoulder (or under it), riding to close to the kerb is dangerous but he seems to be riding in the centre of the road (even with the camera placement taken into account). I am all for holding the lane if necessary but he seems to swing wildly out, not look behind etc. He is a danger to himself and other road users, I hope someone in the local police station take an exception to him and pull him in on dangerous driving and assault charges.

I've looked at it a view times and I can't see how or why he came off the bike, the car didn't seem to be that close.

Anyway, car was over the line but his whole approach to people is arse ways...he just starts yelling at them.

Mick55 · 16-05-2014 11:52AM

Don't know what to think about this one, its hard to tell from the video but he was pointing the camera square at her ar$e!! She was wearing leather pants that were absolutely bet on to her and they appeared to know each other. First hint of sun and they all come out of the woodwork!!

Saw that one before - ironic thing is if he kept his hands on the handlebars and used his brakes it would have been a non issue but that wont get you some youtube fame ... hes a regular caller to essex police who've stopped entertaining him saw him bitch about this in a few videos

Boy who cried wolf comes to mind ....pun intended

I'd be more interested in the footage from his camera than your one:D

He is the perfect(if not extreme) example of the major downside that cameras bring. His makes his choices based on the fact he has video evidence for later, rather than his own survival.

Less extreme confrontation wise but equally as obesses - sonofthewinds aka Traffic Droid ..has serious issues OCD being one of then.. has at least 6 gopros and gives out red cards and pulling people for trivial stuff like passing the advance stop line ...wonder would they be bothered if the cameras were taken out of the equation

Jezuz, it gets worse - I've never heard of that fella! look how many cams and lights he has!!!

bear1 · 16-05-2014 12:29PM

I watched a few more of his videos and to me it's very clear in this video that he isn't as far to the left as he should be:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jigsR3vH_LY

He seems to have the belief that he owns the road any any other road user who wants to get past is in the wrong. And that stupid horn he has!

Loads of them that side of the pond - in fairness some of the close passes he gets are bad but he just seems to love confrontation seen one video of him crashing too bust focusing on everyone else and not concentrating on his own cycling

weve one of these crusaders in Dublin goes by the name of CycleDub - lots of needless confrontation

not an anti cycling rant as I cycle myself and have had antlers locked with motorists more than once

No sound here but at least he appears to be correct unlike that other muppet, he wasn't looking for an issue, he was going past a parked car within his own lane when the driver who should have seen him on approach and during his merge over. I think I have seen his videos before, he comes across as a nice guy but I can see how people would take him as a busy body and therefore never pay any attention to anything he might say.

Agree with this id rather be schooled by him than the wolf anyday but he does himself no favours either seen a video of him with a measuring tape I kid you not

I left a comment on one of wolfs videos and he private messaged me telling me that I had a small díck and needed to get therapy, and I should grow up and stop being a little boy.

I think therapists call it projection, whereby a person projects their own inadequacies onto another person as they are unable to deal with the reality, they are in fact, humiliated/ashamed by virtue of being themselves and their psyche can not deal with it.

Heh.

I've noticed a trend in a lot of his videos though. Some of the people he yells at are often smiling/laughing while ignoring him.
Some people randomly abuse and flip him off when driving past, and on top of that you have occasional kids shouting stuff at him.

I'd say he's a well known character around the city. Every town has a few local crazies/arseholes who bring abuse upon themselves.

Tramps Like Us · 16-05-2014 01:39PM

That cyclist will one day get battered and have his camera stolen/smashed.

I would say spot on!
And you can be sure that he has no idea why all this stuff happens to him, as far as he's concerned, this is everyone's fault but his.

Just like a child's tantrum!

The guy in London with all the lights and gear though is different and in that video shown above is right in what he does.

yop · 16-05-2014 03:11PM

In fairness to your man above he had a right to be annoyed, that Golf was miles too close.
As for the other buck, what a total ape, he gives cyclist a bad name and his attitude and confrontational approach will catch up with him some day.
