@@Fiona-hp4mw Do you find it hard to see other pedestrians? A cyclist + Bike is bigger than a pedestrian. Should we ban pedestrians from London? Motor vehicles kill 450 people a year in the UK, cyclists on average less than one. Shall we ban motor vehicles from London also? See what a ridiculous suggestion yours is? I am frequently a pedestrian in London, more often than I am a cyclist, and I’ve never had an issue spotting cyclists when crossing the road. They are not difficult to see if you stop and look before you walk out into the road.

Yes I just like to switch off and not have to look that much when I cross the road

@ Ha ha ha well I think it’s just you they shouldn’t allow in London! For your own safety…

@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 I won't go there anyway.. I stay in my own little town where I cycled up a hill with a 45 degree gradient when I was 12

@ That’s a big hill, well done. Even in your small town, please look before you cross the road. 👍🏻

@@petewatts30 I avoided all of these, I take great care and pay attention whilst I cycle which is why my videos are filled with misses and not accidents.

@@michaelalexander3322 So often I have pedestrians thank me for stopping at a Zebra crossing, sadly because so many cyclists refuse to do so. Sad to be thanked for simply following the rules. Keep safe out there 🙂👍🏻

There are three lanes of traffic onto Putney Bridge, a cycle lane and two road lanes. The bus is in a road lane, I’m in a cycle lane. Just because the driver of the bus may have let the other bus go, does that mean the other driver can assume both lanes are clear? Answer is no, just because another driver signals you can go, doesn’t mean you can forgo the safety checks you need to do to ensure it’s clear. This is something they teach you very early on in driving tests. Secondly, I’m behind the bus, I have no idea that it’s signalled to another driver, Putney Bridge is very congested during rush hour so it’s most likely the bus slowed for traffic. I’m in my own lane, my lane is clear so I’m good to go. The other bus driver should have given way to me in the cycle lane, he has to wait for a safe gap before turning across multiple lanes. You need to have a good read of the Highway Code!

@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 The highway code also recommends not to undertake, especially at where you can make a turn.

@ Firstly motorbikes, mopeds, and cyclists are allowed to filter through slow moving traffic as per the Highway Code, that means passing on the inside, between traffic, or on the outside. Secondly I’m in a separate cycle lane in this case, it’s not considered undertaking when it’s a separate dedicated cycle lane. Twice now you are wrong. Had that bus driver collided with a cyclist they would have been the one deemed in the wrong. It’s pretty basic, when you are turning across oncoming traffic you must give way and wait for a safe gap. Do you drive? If you do, and you don’t know this, you need a refresher course asap!

@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 No. I don't drive at all. I only cycle. But it's stupid to think that just because you're on a cycle lane, it isn't undertaking. In fact, there is no law against undertaking. It's just doing so endanger yourself. And you can see in this case that the bus turning can't see you, nor can you see the bus. I have made similar mistake where the car beside me stopped for no reason and there is another car parked in front of me so both these cars blocked my view in front, and I just overtook them but little did I know there is a fire truck plowing through the street ahead towards my way. I might have slowed down the fire truck because of that. I should have just stopped alongside the car. If the car next to you stops for no reason, there is a good reason and you probably should just follow especially when you can't see because it blocks your view.

@ You original assertion that I was in the wrong was incorrect. However if you look closely you’ll see I don’t pass the bus, I’m cautious (not stupid as you say) and I’m not going to pick a fight with the bus turning across. I stop alongside the bus heading in the same direction. The fault however was 100% with the turning bus. I’ve copied some sections of the Highway Code below that you should acquaint yourself with (the last two show that just because one bus driver may have waved the other through, does not mean they shouldn’t check it’s clear before proceeding): Rule 151 In slow-moving traffic. You should be aware of cyclists and motorcyclists who may be passing on either side. Rule 160: Be aware of other road users, especially cycles and motorcycles who may be filtering through the traffic. These are more difficult to see than larger vehicles and their riders are particularly vulnerable. Give them plenty of room, especially if you are driving a long vehicle or towing a trailer. You should give way to cyclists when you are changing direction or lane - do not cut across them. Rule 170: Take extra care at junctions. You should watch out for cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians including powered wheelchairs/mobility scooter users as they are not always easy to see. Be aware that they may not have seen or heard you if you are approaching from behind Rule 180 Turning right: Wait until there is a safe gap between you and any oncoming vehicle. Watch out for cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians and other road users. Check your mirrors and blind spot again to make sure you are not being overtaken, then make the turn. Do not cut the corner. Take great care when turning into a main road; you will need to watch for traffic in both directions and wait for a safe gap. Rule 181: This can block your view of oncoming vehicles, so take extra care. Cyclists and motorcyclists in particular may be hidden from your view. Road layout, markings or how the other vehicle is positioned can determine which course should be taken. Rule 110 Flashing headlights. Only flash your headlights to let other road users know that you are there. Do not flash your headlights to convey any other message or intimidate other road users. Rule 111 Never assume that flashing headlights is a signal inviting you to proceed. Use your own judgement and proceed carefully.

@@Historyrevenge777 No, my speed is not the cause of these issues. I’m cycling below the speed limits, and paying full attention, this is why my videos are full of misses and not accidents. I’m travelling at a safe speed allowing me to stop for/avoid all of these incidents. The cause of these issues are pedestrians/drivers who have not paid attention before stepping/pulling out into the road/changing lanes etc. I see many commenters on here, deflecting from the real issue and trying to victim shame cyclists. Cyclists are far slower, and far less dangerous than motor vehicles. Motor vehicles kill 450-500 pedestrians annually in the UK, cyclists less than one pedestrian per year on average. A recent government study showed that 86% of drivers admit to speeding in 20mph zones. As 80% of new cars sold these days are 2 tonne+ SUV’s which are 8 times more likely to kill a child in an accident vs. a typical saloon, the fact that so many are speeding is more worrying. Today, pretty much all the roads in Central London are 20mph. I ride a heavy, single speed bike with two pannier bags, so my max speed in the flat Central London is 20mph, and most of the time I’m between 10-15mph. I constantly experience motor vehicles flying past me at 25mph + in the 20mph zones. Yet so many hypocrites comment here, blaming cyclists for being “too fast” whilst 86% regularly speed in their faster, heavier, more deadly SUVs. Plus they’ll beep at any cyclist in front of them, scream at us to “get back in your cycle lane” as, whilst we’re “too fast”, we’re also “too slow” when holding them up, funny that! Pedestrians have a duty to look before stepping into the road. Read rule 7 of the Highway Code, specifically 7 (d). Before crossing, pedestrians must stop, look, if traffic is coming (including cyclists) let it pass, and wait for a safe gap to cross. Roads are dangerous, they are designed for traffic to move faster than walking pace. If you are going to complain that the least dangerous users of the roads are too fast, whilst being slower than the speed limit, then you need to lobby to reduce the speed limit for ALL road traffic. Think how few accidents there would be in towns/cities if the speed limit was 5mph for ALL traffic. Ridiculous suggestion though as society would grind to a halt, but you get the point. The speed of the cyclists is not the issue, the issue causing these incidents are pedestrians and drivers not looking, not following the rules, and your attempt to blame cyclists is a cheap deflection from this. Everyone (including cyclists who I see running reds and cycling on pavements) needs to follow the rules instead of trying to point the finger at others. Take some personal responsibility!

@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 In defense of pedestrians you cannot hear a bike coming. Yes, pedestrians stroll out into traffic, it happens here in the colonies too unfortunately, but you need a bell or a horn when you come up on them. You got to have all defensive systems online. Being aggressive in your underwear on a bike is not very intimidating.

This cyclist shows no consideration to other road users. Thinks hes in a video game, the ONLY one on the planet

@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 I think the real issue is you post olympic roadies that think you are Bradly Wiggins tearing around and not adjusting to the environment. Furthermore most of you city riders clearly don't drive and have zero road sense hence the reason you feel the way you do and give us all a bad name and what's worse is when you come into the countryside with the same attitude. I've ridden in most countries including big cities and only London has this issue so perhaps put your raffa jersey away and the stupid white socks and spend some money on a road awareness course instead

@@Dannysoutherner That’s no defence, you don’t cross the road using your ears (especially as mist people have ear buds in these days). Use your eyes! I have flashing lights front and rear on my bike at all times. We teach nursery school children how to look before crossing the road and they understand this, shouldn’t be too much of a reach for a grown adult like you! I cycle with my fingers on the brake levers at all times, my eyes on stalks, and am not distracted by phones/music etc. I’m paying attention which is why my videos are filled with misses. If people like you pay more attention when crossing the road we’d not have such incidents.

@@Jello836 Were they on a rental bike, like a Lime bike?

@@Yazzie95 When I have right of way, why doesn’t the driver slow down and wait for me to pass? There’s no point having a collision that I’ll clearly come if worse from, however many drivers don’t want to wait for cyclists and try and bully us out of the way. I don’t give in to bullying and hold my ground where safe to do so.

@@kevincuthbert3058 I would love to go back in time and cycle London back then. 👍🏻

@@BrunoDeroberto Only because I work in Central London. Cycling is the best way to get to work. Otherwise I’d not cycle in the city centre!

@@dar4061 There are two clips early one where I’m coming up to pass the cyclist ahead, when there was room, and those cyclists pulled from the left side of the lane, to the right side without looking. That’s my complaint, they pulled out to pass without checking over their shoulder first, causing me to take avoiding action. I don’t know which other clip you are mentioning where I complain about a cyclist passing to the right of me? There’s one when i pull away from the lights alongside another cyclist, and a third cyclist squeezes between the two of us making slight contact. That’s a very different scenario.

@@mupster2 Yikes, what happened mate? Hope you’re ok. Agree that the train/tube is always the worse option!

@@themarychulive There are these two circular organs embedded in the front of your head. The trick is (and this is the difficult bit) you have to tear them away from your smart phone when you are about to cross the road, and use them to see if there is any oncoming traffic, so you can wait for a safe gap before crossing… 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

@@Billie-zx5vf So nice to see somebody who understands! 🤣 Thank you. The crazy thing is, I bet you the bulk of people putting such comments would be leaning on the horn at you if you walked out in front of their car whilst they were driving. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@ Honestly bunch of morons. lol

@@Dropped2436 I had to brake suddenly, so it’s not helpful.

@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 o alright

@@michaelslifecycle If you collide with a pedestrian, as a cyclist, the onus is on you. This is different from the pedestrians always having right of way however, the rules are clear that all road-users (including pedestrians) have responsibility to follow the rules.

@ Ahh I see. So it makes sense why you’re doing everything you can to avoid them, versus some other cyclists trying to scare the pedestrians or even run into them. Thanks for the response

@ It’s so busy in London during rush hour, you’d never get anywhere if you stopped for every pedestrian who stepped into the road. It’s a balance of keeping momentum whilst also keeping everyone safe. 👍🏻

@@Jack-ud3vz Ha ha ha sadly I agree wholeheartedly with you, Jack. 🤣👍🏻

@@ICantBeCompletlyCertain Do you think commuting by train is any less stressful and miserable? Costly ticket, constant delays, no seat and being rammed in like sardines, people shouting “can you move down please” when the carriage is already full to bursting, catching everybody’s bugs and viruses etc. My cycle commute is effectively free, it’s quicker than getting the train, it’s consistently approx. 40 minutes every day with no delays, it keeps me fit, no costly gym membership needed and I’m utilising my commuting time for exercise, it de-stresses me after a crappy day at work as I’ve burned off all the adrenaline by the time I’m home. That’s why I cycle. 👍🏻

@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 I hope you never get hit, run over or crushed. But the risks are very high in London.

@ Thank you. I’ve been cycling through central London rush hour for something like 17 years now. The danger is there but it’s easily avoided if you are careful. I have zero desire to have an accident and I concentrate very hard whilst cycling to avoid such dangerous situations.
