My horn didn't last long so I invested in a air horn with that horn EVERYONE knows am coming and the daft people and vehicle sure know about it lol best horn av ever got
Problem with Richmond Park is that too many cyclists just DO NOT want to slow down, for any reason. It is a great place to cycle but it is NOT a race track .
At 01:05, you berate a chap who signals left but eases right .......... doing EXACTLY what you did earlier in the video. BTW BOTH of you are in the wrong, HOLD YOUR F+CKING LINE.
V different, I was carrying speed and needed to be on the right to get the angle through the corner. Guy later was crawling and weaving around. When driving, if you have a cycle ahead that’s about to turn please give space as they may need a wider angle. 🙂👍🏻
The only thing I see is a guy on a bike riding far too fast expecting everyone to get out of his way just a complete arrogant muppet thinking he owns the road
I simply expect other road users to give way to the right at roundabouts. I give way when it falls on me to do so. Why do you feel the rules don’t apply to others?
Was started to get worried, glad you're still alive despite the apparent best attempts of some others! who were determined to get close even in these times!
Still in one piece! 🙂👍🏻 Although I’m not commuting during lockdown I thought I’d better make something for my loyal subscribers. 🙂 Happy Easter my friend.
These near miss videos are a great watch just shows how many idiot's there are on the roads I have experienced my fair share aswell such stupid drivers
Pretty surprised you haven't seen worse driving tbh, some of the brainless overtaking from cars, especially when ignoring oncoming cyclists is shocking. But cycling is a bit of a free for all come the roundabouts, I agree
I have seen a bit but I wasn’t taking the camera out at first. I saw a car slow for some deer crossing, the car behind it then tried to over take it and panicked the deer! Very foolish! 🤦🏻♂️ I wish Richmond Park could stop traffic that’s just cutting through, make it for visitors only as that should cut out the drivers who are rushing!
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 riding without a camera! Madness. Sadly I struggle to see the park shutting out locals, even though it's the obvious move
@@lukei1 I know! I didn’t think there would be anything worth recording but I was wrong. I agree with you, the park is so big I don’t think they’ll force people to drive around it.
Just to mention while I'm here friend, I was in the worst traffic collision of my life last week. Torn aorta. 7 fractured ribs. Completely snapped hubris. Punctured lung. Chest needed draining. Contusions on the liver and a torn kidney. 2 operations and 8 days in the high dependency. It was all caught on camera, but it is with the police at the moment. I was doing 30 in a 30 and a van pulled out in front of me without looking. It is being treated as "driving without due care and attention" and the driver will receive a slap on the wrist, points and a fine. The logic in this situation... if the van driver had done the same thing but coming down the road was an 18 wheeler, the van driver's carelessness would've only cause his own demise. Like wise had it been a van of a similar size, airbags and handbags and everyone would've been fine... It was an absolute "nothing I could do" situation - zero time to react. While cycling is a passion of mine, I can't ride a bike on these roads anymore knowing trauma is around every corner. I am heartbroken both figuratively and literally.
Wow, that sucks mate. Awful. I wish you a speedy recovery. What annoys me about that sort of thing is people do this casually as they feel there’s no risk for them in their vehicle, without thought for the devastating impact it can have on someone else! Take care and I hope it gets sorted. Remember there is a civil court as well as criminal as you could potentially claim for injury, damage to your bike, lost earnings etc.
This is still my Genesis gravel bike (there’s a video summary of this bike on my channel). I got it for a flat commute, so it’s hard work on the hills in Richmond Park, but great exercise! 🙂👍🏻
The sideways phone looks precarious. Would recommend quad lock, very secure, easy to fit, and you can get a poncho thing like you have there for weather resistance too.
Oh that’s a total bodge, that’s an armband to hold your phone whilst jogging! 🤣 I need to stop being tight and buy a proper holder like you recommend. 🙂
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 quad lock also has an arm band too! It’s not the cheapest eco-system to get into but it does all work really well, the proprietary cases are also very strong/durable!
@Harry Old There’s room on the pavement in all of those clips. These are quiet back roads with few cars so people often walk in the road, it’s nit a big issue, just something to be aware of. 🙂👍🏻
I'm gonna give all these pedestriains and cyclists a pass (even though some of them were not being very careful or considerate) because if any person chooses to enter Richmond (or any park for that matter) they better calm the F down and realise that people are there to relax and enjoy themselves so they're not gonna be the most alert and will do silly things from time to time. I've driven cars and riden my bikes though Richmond Park many times and if people don't wanna calm down and drive defensively then don't go through the damn park.
I think the issue is that some people are training in there, trying to set or beat a time and they don’t want to stop at the roundabouts. If they want a clear road best get into the park early, 5-6am and they’ll have the place to themselves.
Racing driver Michael Schumacher had a GoPro on his helmet and had a skiing accident. He hit his head in a rock and they believe the GoPro somehow made the impact worse and split the helmet. He’s now paralysed. So I don’t put the GoPro on my helmet… 😉👍🏻
See the same around my area since COVID, middle aged guys riding €6-10 grand bikes with elbows and knees sticking out being an utter nuisances. Same guys who have been giving me punishment passes and shouting abuse at me for the last 30+ years. Hope they like it from the other side of the fence. On the bright side, I might finally be able to afford a great bike for a bargain second hand in about a year or so when they all give up.
That’s the worst when they have their knees sticking out to the sides like a kid on a tricycle! 🤦🏻♂️🤣 Hope you do pick up one of their nice bikes! 😉👍🏻
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 spotted a local lad with a dogma with D 12 wearing a local football club jersey and shorts with flat pedals off a mountain bike and runners exactly like he was on a trike. For sure he will give up in a year or so. That bike would last me the next 10 years or so 🤣

The roundabout entrance is always busy with people getting in and out who don’t think anything bad could happen at the entrance because it’s busy. ( have to slow down lots )
It’s been a real treat to cycle around the Park each morning during lockdown. Agree with you re the roundabout, many people (drivers, cyclists and pedestrians) seem to think the usual roundabout rules don’t apply for some reason! 🤦🏻♂️ Keep safe my friend.
Glad you liked it. It’s not too bad on the cycle because you are exercising, so as long as you have wind proof gear you generate enough heat from the pedalling to keep warm. Good gloves are key to avoid your fingers turning blue! 😉🥶 Keep safe on that moped. 🙂👍🏻

Hey man, been following your channel and enjoy watching your vids. I’m currently on my last year of uni and was wondering if you can help me with final year project. I am designing a safety device for cyclists and your opinion would be valuable to my project. Please let me know what you think...thanks
Hey there mate! Glad you're back. Me and My classmate went out cycling with our mtb last week. He hit a small bird and i think the bird died. Damn. He landed dead on the spot didn't have time to check but i can see the bird from distance just fell off and didn't make any movements
Thank you! Glad you guys are getting out on the bikes. Sorry about the bird. It happens sometimes unfortunately. I ran over a pigeon once by accident, it was walking in the road, and ran away from a car right under my wheel. Nothing I could do!
Hello to the US. Glad you like my videos, thank you. I imagine roundabouts are confusing if you’ve never seen them. Basic rule is that when you pull up to a roundabout you always give way to traffic coming from your righthand side. 🙂👍🏻
Keep safe out there William. Pretend you’re invisible, assume the worst and keep alert at all times. 99% of the time it’s fine but you need to be ready for the person who doesn’t see you! Good luck. 🙂👍🏻
Comment then question: in the US we commonly announce when approaching or passing “on your left” particularly when passing pedestrians or other cyclists. After watching several of your videos (thank you btw) Is that not a common practice in the UK? Or “on you right” in the case of the UK.
It’s a good idea, some do but very rarely. It’s always best to shoulder check to ensure you’re not being passed by another cyclist before manoeuvring. 🙂👍🏻
Dutchman here, also not a common practice over here, although it is common practice to adjust your speed and/or use a bike bell when passing people that might get a fright. There's a multi use path near my house that sees a fair amount of bike traffic, pedestrians, people walking their dogs and people walking with baby strollers, so when I cycle there and there's pedestrians I usually just hold back on the speed a bit, pass them at a normal speed and maybe use my bike bell if I think it's necessary to announce my presence to them. Never had a problem.
All good thanks, a bit fatter as haven’t been cycling anywhere near as much with lockdown and working from home! 🤣 Making sure I get out most mornings this year to get back to weight! Hope you’re doing well and keeping safe. 🙂👍🏻
Sorry to see you had such pain with cycling around richmond. Couple of observations: 1. around richmond pedestrians have right of way on the "closed to traffic roads" 2. skating/inline skiing is perfectly permitted in the park at any speed. That said some of the other cyclist and cars are completely out of their minds
I agree, I wouldn’t yell at a pedestrian for walking out into the road in the park, they should still exercise caution when crossing though. I put the skier and skater in just because they made me chuckle, neither were doing anything wrong. My main bugbear is people not using the roundabouts properly. 🙂👍🏻
