3:02 I think the moped us correct, as they were moving across into his or her path. Obviously until the moped rider deliberately cut them up Thanks for all the uploads, keep them coming!
At the very first frame of that clip, the first of those cyclists has already pulled out to pass the bus, at that point the moped hasn't passed me, and I'm a long way back from the bus. If someone pulls out right in front of you and cuts you up then fair enough to give a bit of horn. However, if there's just traffic already in front of you that you're coming up to then that's not right. If it had been a car already alongside the bus at the start of that clip then I doubt the moped would have acted that way. The moped came flying into that situation too quickly also. That was a bit much. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. 🙂👍
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 Fair enough, I'm not the best at judging, I only cycle in the Sussex Countryside, not in the hustle and bustle that is London, I'm just not used to it 😂
every time i go on that cycle lane from embankment up to parliament, pedestrians both tourist and local are a) in it, b) walking in flat impassable rows, and c) can't get out of the lane without jerking wildly in at least 5 directions before realising where the pavement is, and d) forgetting their child who is still standing in the middle of the lane
Agreed, I really think that some railings along the path there would help, ensure that the pedestrians can only cross at the numerous light operated crossings that they've sensibly built along that lane.
0:30 You didn't see the kid until last second, and that's your fault. If your vision is impaired by a car you need to slow down better, not just assume it's clear...
Yes, I said I saw him late in the video. If you look at the start of that clip there's a queue of traffic. As that queue moved forward I was expecting that car to move forward over the crossing also. When I realised that it wasn't, and saw the kid run out, I braked and waited for him to pass. Shows how the situation changes quickly in busy rush hour traffic and you can't rely on assumption.
At 0:29 the car has stopped to give way to the pedestrian. It is your fault that you didn't see him, you should have slowed down, especially with a car stopped in at a zebra crossing in front of you (what do you think that entails?) More generally you cycle as if everyone is going to obey every rule of the road, every time, in central London, at rush hour. They're not! Pedestrians are going to walk in that annoying bit on the Embankment, they'll cross in the middle of the road, and so-on, because that's how people use the road, especially in central London. It would do you good to slow down a bit before you get in a serious crash.
Yes, I said I saw him late. Watch from the start of that clip, the car is in a queue of traffic rather than being specifically stopped for the crossing. At the start of the clip the car in front is rolling over the crossing, I was expecting the other car to follow. It didn't, I stopped. Just goes to show that the situation isn't always what you think it is. I very much cycle as if everyone is going to break the rules. With my eyes on stalks and fingers on the brakes, hence my videos are full of misses and not accidents. My average speed is less than 15mph, I have one gear on that bike so max I can go a little over 20mph down on the Embankment where its open. The cars on the same road are traveling faster than me when not held up in traffic, and they present far more risk to pedestrians.
You’re ride very aggressively and like it or not, pedestrians have a right to cross roads. People don’t always see cyclists coming so you need to be extra careful and not so much of a dickhead.
Going from Parliament Square towards embankment over the days after Christmas was the worst I’ve ever seen it. Picture time in the middle of the bike lane and huge crowds walking down the cycle lane next to the construction area. Glad it’s back to normal!
Agreed, these people wouldn't stand or walk in road in the same way where there are cars etc, but as it's "only" a cycle lane they don't think it matters, or presents any risk. I really think that they need some railings alongside that cycle lane to ensure that pedestrians only cross at the designated crossings and don't stand in the middle of the lane for a photo opportunity. Safe cycling my friend. 🙂👍
Ryan Sedgwick - London Cycling absolutely agree. Do you ever cycle down constitution hill between Buckingham place and Wellington Arch? I wish desperately that they would make the cycle lane more clearly defined here as well.
@@jamesharris2525 I know where you mean, I haven't cycled there for many years though. Another tourist heavy area. It's to be expected that tourists will be less used to the UK traffic rules, and likely less observant, however better and clearer road markings and infrastructure would make it safer for all!
Its very simple when u as pedestrian.....when crossing road..look left right n wait n patient...why soo hard...happy new year 2020 mate...keep safety..👍
My view as a Dutchman, from visiting London twice, several days each, and noticing how long the traffic lights stay red: I saw and understood that pedestrians simply wait for the last car, then cross as after all 'all traffic is then gone', which it need not be for esp. cyclists who come at the same point later than cars, and you can't hear much of cyclists (Edit: Which would notify those pedestrians of other traffic coming even when not looking left/right). In London to make things better they need to start with reprogramming the traffic lights and add more (compulsory to use) zebra crossings... For cycling in London I think headlamps with a laser projection symbol could be useful (so pedestrians see the symbol that should then be about 15m or so ahead of the cyclist). I've not tried one yet and it would be more an experiment for me, not something I'd need here in NL.
@@WHS_reviews Agreed, many pedestrians in London tend to only think of cars, despite it being very obvious that there are many thousands of cyclists. I have two flashing lights on the front of my cycle and keep them on year round to improve my visibility. It relies on people looking first however and unfortunately many do not. Have a good week. 🙂👍

They really should put a railing up there, to encourage tourists to stay in the pavement. Not only do they stand in the lane with a camera to their face, but they often don't realise the lane is two way and don't see the cycles coming up behind them. I'm surprised there hasn't been a big collision there yet, seems only a matter of time.
It's a Genesis 2019 10 Gravel Bike. Single speed, I've increased the gear on it so that I have more top end speed, sacrifice some acceleration off the lights. Its a steel frame and has mud guards so it's heavy, but very comfortable. Lovely for commuting as long as your route is relatively flat.

Happy 2020 to you too Ryan. Your subscriber from the Basque Country again. By the way, I was wondering if you happen to know by any chance of anybody who is using 3 inch wide tyres on 22mm inner width rims. A local mechanic here is using them but everybody on the internet says not to do so. I'm just asking everybody I know in the cycling world. PS: 2019 Genesis Day One 10, right? I own a steel bike too but I never owned an alluminium one so I can't tell if there really is a difference in terms of comfort.
Happy new year to you in Basque Country. Three inch tyres are very wide, I'd be very concerned with them popping off a 22mm rim when cornering etc. I'd suggest that tyres wide would be better suited to off road cycles designed to use them. That's right with the Genesis cycle. Had her a year now and really enjoy cycling on her each day. Great commuting cycle as long as you don't have any hills (single speed). Safe cycling. 🙂👍
So simple questions to ask yourself are: What kind of ground will I cycle on? Tarmac road? Gravel or grass on off road? Next question is will you cycle up and down hills, or will your cycle be flat? This will dictate how many gears you will need. Then do you intend to ride long distances, or shorter routes. This dictates whether you need a touring bike with panniers for carrying lots of items. Finally do you want to cycle fast for fitness, or do you want to cycle slow and comfortable just as a means of transportation. This dictates whether you want a light weight racing bike, or a more upright seated position bike built for comfort. One you know the answers to these questions you can speak to a bike shop and they can point you in the right direction. Irrespective of which type of bike, key elements are the frame, the gears and the brakes. Carbon frames are light but rigid and stiff so fast but less comfortable, you feel the bumps more. Steel frames are heavier and more flexible, so slower but more comfortable as they soak up the bumps. Brakes are very important, myself I prefer disk brakes as they work better in the wet plus they don’t damage the wheel rims. Gears it’s important to get a good level that will be reliable and not need too much maintenance. In the UK a company called Shimano is very popular for providing the gear sets. They make a number of different levels of quality so go for the top one that you can afford. If your route is flat like mine, and you don’t plan on cycling up hills then you can get a single speed bike, so no gears! Makes life very easy. There’s a review of my current bike on my channel. Hope that helps. Enjoy and keep safe. 🙂👍🏻

@@Han-yc7pt Well done for saving for your dream Han. I don’t know much about different bike brands and I don’t know these two bikes.

That cyclist needs to chill out more and get himself a loud car horn. I have such a nice relaxing ride these days, if I see an issue blast my horn by do them cars half move out the way or stop dead then they realise it was a cyclist not another car 🤣
I learnt to whistle loudly thinking that'll be helpful while cycling to signal someone, but shouting turned out to be the best. Ryan, how do you fight wet weather? When it rains, so you go to work by bicycle? I'm mostly interested in keeping yourself clean. Does your office have a shower?
I agree, shouting gets attention quickest. Yeah, the rain sucks. I have front and rear mudguards on the cycle which helps reduce the spray, however if the rain is heavy you're getting wet regardless. There are showers in the building I working in, so I keep my work clothes in the office (I get them dry cleaned by the office so they never come home). I wear cycle clothing on the ride, then shower and change at work so I'm fresh and clean. It's hard to get my kit dry though so often things are a bit soggy when I put them on to go home. I wring my kit out in the shower room then hang it under my desk during the day to dry them as much as possible. It's not ideal but not too bad. Safe cycling my friend. 🙂👍
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 How low does your front mudguard go? My usual experience is that the water sprays from under the front wheel onto the bottom bracket, where the water stream splits in two right where my shoes are. :) Right, it's an convenience that the clothes is dry cleaned by the office. No need to carry a bag/backpack of clothes, saves some sweat. Thanks, and you too Ryan! Safety first
@@vasilyvarlamov8554 The front mudguards is quite low, inch or so from the ground. If the rain is heavy then my feet still get soaked though. Doesn't seem to be any avoiding it unfortunately. 👍
@@vasilyvarlamov8554: For water splitting from puddles and getting to your shoes the best option is a mudflap mounted on the bottom of the front fender. Big mudflaps is what Dutch city bikes were usually equipped with, but in recent years things are getting back to 'don't need that', though for riding through puddles, you really do need them! It's as if the designers have forgotten all the lessons from long ago, or perhaps the generation that knew all retired and the new generation needs to learn the old lessons anew...
@@WHS_reviews yeah it's funny that a necessary part of a bike is not there now. A bike fithout fenders looks cool, but having wet shoes and back isn't worth it
Those types of bike lanes are dangerous, you guys need some phisycal division from cars. And of course if there are more cyclists, less pedestrian will get in the cycle lanes.
You’d think that, but even when there are big groups of cyclists approaching some pedestrians still seem to think they can walk out in front of them and they’ll magically disappear! 🤦🙂👍🏻

I cycle Uber Eats with the branded gear and probably get treated the worst by Uber drivers. There is no sense of brotherhood whatsoever. Perhaps they're making an effort to take out the competition lol
I find the Uber drivers to be a real menace, often erratic and making last second changes as they chase their SatNav. Always give a wife berth. Safe cycling my friend, don't let them get you! 😉👍
As a year round cycle commuter I'd say roughly 1 in 3 rush hour cyclists are utterly selfish assholes. I get the impression that if you followed them home, most of them would have an Audi on the drive.
I rarely cross at the crossings myself, normally quicker to wait for a gap in the traffic and no through (checking for oncoming cyclists first of course)...
Motorists on the otherhand predict the slower moving pedestrian and take account of this. All I am seeing here is a cyclist going against the clock and not accounting for the unpredictability of others
And that is why some 450 to 500 pedestrians are killed by motor vehicles each year, and only one or two by cyclists! Pedestrians treat motor vehicles differently to cyclists. If they see a car coming along a road at 15-20mph, they see it as a danger and they wait. If they see a cyclist coming along at the same speed, many just ignore it and walk out regardless. Or they don't look, they don't hear an engine and just walk out blindly. It is these pedestrians who are going against the clock, rushing to work and no time to look who are not accounting for the entirely predictable fact that there is likely oncoming traffic on the road!
Like the way you speed up the video as you go through a red light without stopping at 3:50 . You then have the audacity to complain about people being in the cycle lane straight after that when you shouldn't have been there at that time yourself.
The cycle lane is separate to the road, the red light you see there is for road traffic only. So you're incorrect there. Same as at the end of that clip where I approach the green light in the lane with the pedestrians crossing, you can see another red light for the road traffic on the right. Separate lanes, separate signals. Some cycle lanes are to the side of a road, but still part of that road and still subject to the same signals. This stretch of cycle lane along the embankment is completely segregated from the road and has it's own set of signals, all of which I adhere to, unlike the pedestrians you see in my video.
@@drummerjo571 Yeah, it's unhelpful that those are all red, they should have picked a different colour! I agree, you're not going to get arrested for walking out on a red man, however there's a reason it's red and the Highway Code is clear that the red man means "do not cross". It's a safety issue.If you're going to cross at a red, at least look and check nothing is coming first.
3:02 I think the moped us correct, as they were moving across into his or her path. Obviously until the moped rider deliberately cut them up

A local mechanic here is using them but everybody on the internet says not to do so. I'm just asking everybody I know in the cycling world. PS: 2019 Genesis Day One 10, right? I own a steel bike too but I never owned an alluminium one so I can't tell if there really is a difference in terms of comfort.
Happy new year to you in Basque Country. Three inch tyres are very wide, I'd be very concerned with them popping off a 22mm rim when cornering etc. I'd suggest that tyres wide would be better suited to off road cycles designed to use them.
That's right with the Genesis cycle. Had her a year now and really enjoy cycling on her each day. Great commuting cycle as long as you don't have any hills (single speed). Safe cycling. 🙂👍
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 thank you so much (as usual!)
@@아우빠 Most welcome my friend.
Where's the hornit? Pedestrians of london get to hear your shouts again!!
I still have it but have never moved it across to my new bike. Shouting is just as effective and people seem to prefer it on my videos. 😉👍
Hey buddy, what camera are you using??
It's an old GoPro Hero 3+ Black that I have on a chest mount.
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 thank you
Hey ryan I'm about to start cycling can u help me ? I can't choose a good bicycle cuz I don't know these things very well
So simple questions to ask yourself are:
What kind of ground will I cycle on? Tarmac road? Gravel or grass on off road?
Next question is will you cycle up and down hills, or will your cycle be flat? This will dictate how many gears you will need.
Then do you intend to ride long distances, or shorter routes. This dictates whether you need a touring bike with panniers for carrying lots of items.
Finally do you want to cycle fast for fitness, or do you want to cycle slow and comfortable just as a means of transportation. This dictates whether you want a light weight racing bike, or a more upright seated position bike built for comfort.
One you know the answers to these questions you can speak to a bike shop and they can point you in the right direction.
Irrespective of which type of bike, key elements are the frame, the gears and the brakes.
Carbon frames are light but rigid and stiff so fast but less comfortable, you feel the bumps more. Steel frames are heavier and more flexible, so slower but more comfortable as they soak up the bumps.
Brakes are very important, myself I prefer disk brakes as they work better in the wet plus they don’t damage the wheel rims.
Gears it’s important to get a good level that will be reliable and not need too much maintenance. In the UK a company called Shimano is very popular for providing the gear sets. They make a number of different levels of quality so go for the top one that you can afford. If your route is flat like mine, and you don’t plan on cycling up hills then you can get a single speed bike, so no gears! Makes life very easy. There’s a review of my current bike on my channel.
Hope that helps. Enjoy and keep safe. 🙂👍🏻
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 I wanna get a road bicycle I've been dreaming for 2 years I finally saved money I wanna buy but I couldn't get choice should I buy carraro cr-race 012 or corelli kr 100 which one is better ?
@@Han-yc7pt Well done for saving for your dream Han. I don’t know much about different bike brands and I don’t know these two bikes.
I’d suggest look at some internet reviews to see what people think. Some bike shops will let you test ride cycles, so you could try that too and see which you prefer.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy your new bike. 🙂👍🏻🚴🏼
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 Thanks for everything Ryan ❤
@@Han-yc7pt Most welcome. Good luck my friend. 🙂👍🏻
That cyclist needs to chill out more and get himself a loud car horn.
I have such a nice relaxing ride these days, if I see an issue blast my horn by do them cars half move out the way or stop dead then they realise it was a cyclist not another car 🤣
That's definitely not good for my blood pressure
Not good for mine either! 🤣👍🏻
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 😂😂
I learnt to whistle loudly thinking that'll be helpful while cycling to signal someone, but shouting turned out to be the best.
Ryan, how do you fight wet weather? When it rains, so you go to work by bicycle? I'm mostly interested in keeping yourself clean. Does your office have a shower?
I agree, shouting gets attention quickest.
Yeah, the rain sucks. I have front and rear mudguards on the cycle which helps reduce the spray, however if the rain is heavy you're getting wet regardless.
There are showers in the building I working in, so I keep my work clothes in the office (I get them dry cleaned by the office so they never come home). I wear cycle clothing on the ride, then shower and change at work so I'm fresh and clean. It's hard to get my kit dry though so often things are a bit soggy when I put them on to go home. I wring my kit out in the shower room then hang it under my desk during the day to dry them as much as possible. It's not ideal but not too bad.
Safe cycling my friend. 🙂👍
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 How low does your front mudguard go? My usual experience is that the water sprays from under the front wheel onto the bottom bracket, where the water stream splits in two right where my shoes are. :)
Right, it's an convenience that the clothes is dry cleaned by the office. No need to carry a bag/backpack of clothes, saves some sweat.
Thanks, and you too Ryan! Safety first
@@vasilyvarlamov8554 The front mudguards is quite low, inch or so from the ground. If the rain is heavy then my feet still get soaked though. Doesn't seem to be any avoiding it unfortunately. 👍
@@vasilyvarlamov8554: For water splitting from puddles and getting to your shoes the best option is a mudflap mounted on the bottom of the front fender. Big mudflaps is what Dutch city bikes were usually equipped with, but in recent years things are getting back to 'don't need that', though for riding through puddles, you really do need them! It's as if the designers have forgotten all the lessons from long ago, or perhaps the generation that knew all retired and the new generation needs to learn the old lessons anew...
@@WHS_reviews yeah it's funny that a necessary part of a bike is not there now. A bike fithout fenders looks cool, but having wet shoes and back isn't worth it
Those types of bike lanes are dangerous, you guys need some phisycal division from cars. And of course if there are more cyclists, less pedestrian will get in the cycle lanes.
You’d think that, but even when there are big groups of cyclists approaching some pedestrians still seem to think they can walk out in front of them and they’ll magically disappear! 🤦🙂👍🏻
Hi Ryan, I'm doing a university project looking at developing a product for cycling safety in London and we are interested in doing an interview with you if possible on your daily journey and difficulties. Would this be something you're interested in/ available to do? Thank you!
Absolutely Michaela, very happy to help. Anything you can do to make the roads safer for cyclists is most welcome. How would you like to do this?
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 Great thank you so much! It would be great if we could arrange a Skype interview?
@@michaelabarker1582 No problem at all. My wife has a Skype account, if you tell me your user name I can send you an invite. Does Saturday at 12:30 work for you?
@@michaelabarker1582 Thank you, I've made a note. I'll delete this now so that your username doesn't remain in a public forum. Speak to you at half 12 tomorrow. 🙂👍
Have you ever gone a day without someone cutting you up, stepping out or nearly causing you to crash?
There are a few days, like over Christmas and New Year when it was very quiet. They are few and far between though, there's normally something most days unfortunately. Keeps me sharp though! 😉👍
Human lemming, that's true🚲
Lots of lemmings unfortunately! 😉👍
I cycle Uber Eats with the branded gear and probably get treated the worst by Uber drivers. There is no sense of brotherhood whatsoever. Perhaps they're making an effort to take out the competition lol
I find the Uber drivers to be a real menace, often erratic and making last second changes as they chase their SatNav. Always give a wife berth. Safe cycling my friend, don't let them get you! 😉👍
Happy 2020... Hahaha
What a year!!!
AAAYYYYYY🔊🚴♂️
😉👍
@@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007 🤣👊🏻
As a year round cycle commuter I'd say roughly 1 in 3 rush hour cyclists are utterly selfish assholes. I get the impression that if you followed them home, most of them would have an Audi on the drive.
🤣 I find Mercedes drivers also have a bit of that... 😉👍🏻
I reckon if you obeyed all signs to the letter as a London pedestrian you might get to work around next week.
I rarely cross at the crossings myself, normally quicker to wait for a gap in the traffic and no through (checking for oncoming cyclists first of course)...
Motorists on the otherhand predict the slower moving pedestrian and take account of this. All I am seeing here is a cyclist going against the clock and not accounting for the unpredictability of others
And that is why some 450 to 500 pedestrians are killed by motor vehicles each year, and only one or two by cyclists!
Pedestrians treat motor vehicles differently to cyclists. If they see a car coming along a road at 15-20mph, they see it as a danger and they wait. If they see a cyclist coming along at the same speed, many just ignore it and walk out regardless. Or they don't look, they don't hear an engine and just walk out blindly.
It is these pedestrians who are going against the clock, rushing to work and no time to look who are not accounting for the entirely predictable fact that there is likely oncoming traffic on the road!
Like the way you speed up the video as you go through a red light without stopping at 3:50 . You then have the audacity to complain about people being in the cycle lane straight after that when you shouldn't have been there at that time yourself.
The cycle lane is separate to the road, the red light you see there is for road traffic only. So you're incorrect there. Same as at the end of that clip where I approach the green light in the lane with the pedestrians crossing, you can see another red light for the road traffic on the right. Separate lanes, separate signals.
Some cycle lanes are to the side of a road, but still part of that road and still subject to the same signals. This stretch of cycle lane along the embankment is completely segregated from the road and has it's own set of signals, all of which I adhere to, unlike the pedestrians you see in my video.
I stand corrected, it was a red light on the construction wall.
Pedestrians don't have to follow light signals by law though.
@@drummerjo571 Yeah, it's unhelpful that those are all red, they should have picked a different colour!
I agree, you're not going to get arrested for walking out on a red man, however there's a reason it's red and the Highway Code is clear that the red man means "do not cross". It's a safety issue.If you're going to cross at a red, at least look and check nothing is coming first.
Lol
I’m all for cyclists, just not you mate. You need help.
All I need is for people to look where they are going. That too much to ask?
No one respect the cyclist so why should cyclist respect others . Get a air horn
It’s all about respect, if everyone had a little respect for each other the roads would be far nicer. 🙂👍🏻
