What I liked about the "cyclists video" is that they actually _were_ making a public safety video, just doing it in a humorous way. The whole show was raising awareness about the actual issues they were talking about, just in a humorous way so people wouldn't see it as another boring public safety video. They managed to cover the problem with cyclists ignoring laws, with people cutting cyclists off and not paying attention to them, the need for courtesy on the road, everything that was in their brief, all while making a funny video about making a funny video. I have noticed this in several of their "making a public safety video" films, I think they were actually working with the BBC to raise public awareness in a creative and humorous way.
One day I was in a meeting with some older women, with them talking about electric scooters being a nuisance. Sure enough, the very next week walking to another meeting with them, some barely pubescent teen on an electric scooter blows past me from behind at full speed with a few milimeters margin. It's not the vehicle's fault, of course, it's parents not teaching their kids how to handle them. Inevitably gonna get some of those kids killed when they crash into a pedestrian and get launched into oncoming traffic.
Dude the other week i saw a guy riding a razor scooter *a push one, not even electric* down the side of a 4 lane road that goes past an airport This road also has quite a large hill so this man struggled his way pushing a scooter up hill

Let's face it; no matter how civil some of them can be, there's always a chance that cyclists and bikers go high into the pest list of every motorist in the world.

(to Hammond) "Some spotty oik turns up in your house at a PQRSZ double T, okay? **changes to a different British accent** I've got to tear your eyes out. **back to normal voice** What're you going to do? Ha! Got him!" -This quote from Jezza during the Bike News killed me.
So as a frequent cyclist myself I've NEVER understood why ANYONE in their right mind would run a red light any variety of bike, motor or pedal. Because and this might just be me I personally prefer my entrails INSIDE my body please and thank you
Laws I would put in place: 1. If there is a cycle lane present (either marked on the road or built into the pavement), a cyclist MUST use it. 2. Single file only. 3. No large boxes at traffic lights, only continue the cycle lane to the lights, with a small cross section for those wanting to turn right.
@@JakandDaxterAddict who's at loss here? Lot less traffic, so being on the road is actually not frustrating and commuting in general is a lot more pleasant. Imagine driving without having to deal with city traffic
9:12 Gotta agree with Clarkson here, I live in a rural area and there are few things worse to hear than the screeching of a motorbike. Absolutely ruins the tranquility.
No different to a chav in a clapped out Peugeot with a fart can exhaust Only bikes are actually fast. The Peugeot is making all that noise for what? They’re slow
I haven't experienced that, but I know the difference in traffic culture is massive depending on the country. In Sweden, for one, we generally have enough bike lanes for cars and bikes not to cross paths much. Here, mopeds and EPA tractors hold the honor of what you described. And the latter is so, so much worse.
The last one is so true with two additions: -They don't understand that the white zebra crossing means they DON'T have the right of way if they're on their bike -Most of them ignore/don't know that traffic signs apply to them as well (or just don't know what they mean in general)
As someone who bicycled from 1986-2014 (a serious accident ended that) I was pretty much the only one on the road, for about 15 years, so I learned very quickly to obey ALL the laws that pertain to both cars and bicycles and not to leave a bad taste in motorists mouths. It infuriates me when bicyclists: don’t obey traffic SIGNS, crosswalks (especially when pedestrians are present) four way stop signs, and the ones who were telling me to get off the road and onto the sidewalk are now the ones with this entitlement mentality that they own the road. Say what you will about Armstrong, but he once said, “Bicyclists borrow the road, cars(motorists) own tue road.”
Bicycle -way faster innercity commute haha -easier to store and repair -cheaper -who doesn't like some exercise? -who needs crumple zones? -no trunk space to carry dead bodies around in -ughh British weather Car -nyoooooooooom -trunk space to carry a dead body around -radio -heating -o no TRAFFIC JAM -o no COSTLY -o no BIG, COMPLEX -crumple zone?

Its not about lap times.. bikes will always be behind race cars... its about the feeling one gets while strapped to said machine. You do not get into a motorbike.... you strap it on and become one with it.
A MotoGP bike will lap a circuit faster than anything short of a formula 1 car. So no, they’re not really behind race cars The acceleration of a MotoGP bike is unmatched by any race car
@@CrazyPanda688 Acceleration is better yes but not corner speed. That is way lower. On a circuit with a long front and back straight the bike might lap faster due to being able to use its acceleration to full extent, but on a twisting circuit with shorter straights they will lap slower. For example. The MotoGP record at CoTA is 2:02:575, while the F1 record there is 1:36:169, Indy Lights 1:56:574, Formula V8 1:51:43 and Indy Car 1:48:49. Yes the Porsche Carrera Cup is slower at 2:08:207 and NASCAR even slower at 2:11:549, however my point is that there are a lot of car categories that will beat the MotoGP bikes around most of the world race circuits.
im a biker i loved this i do own a car too when its pissing of rain i will use the car when its a nice sunny day i will ride my motorbike. only other bikers will know what im talking about but you feel more free with a bike you become the bike the slightest movement just turns the bike the gear change you just feel the bike it almost feeling like your flying your aware of every single moment of your surroundings become enhanced you feel alive. in a car i can literally drive 50 miles and not remember a thing about that drive and only become aware when im on a round about on at a junction its a hole different experience you just feel more in control on a motorbike they more dangerous as richard hammond himself said but thats down to user error not the bike i grew up with bikers my dad was a biker i knew how to strip and ride a bike before i was the age of 14. my parents owned private land i knew how to drive a car by the time i was 15 its impossible for me to even stall a car and a bike when i was teaching my nephew i tried to stall it to prove a point but my body automatically kept correcting it without even thinking about it. cyclist on the other hand i despise them ive had my wing mirrors smashed up it was not a damn thing i could do about it they have no insurance pay no road tax and legally you cant detain them.
@Daniel Lawson not as you use them you choose to be in the middle of the road going 10mph in a 60 lane. yous pay no road tax or have no insurance you have no opinion how the laws of the road should be its comedy gold every time i see a cyclist fall off
Where did Jeremy get the stereotype that motorcyclists are gay? Like I can see where's he coming from with a lot of his other stereotypes, but could never understand this one. He's the only person I've ever heard of make this joke!
This is all great sport. I love automobiles, I have been repairing them for almost 40 years. Exotic machines, and the common. I have worked on, and driven, some extremely rare ones. Some absurdly expensive. In the millions, actually. But, we all have our passions. For years, I rode a bicycle 22,000 km per year, in all weather conditions, for sport and to get to work, yes, repairing cars. I have several hundred thousand miles on motorcycles. It's very different, riding is a completely different world from taking out the car. I have ridden a motorcycle through thunderstorms, even when the cars had given up and pulled over. I must qualify this, cycling was critical in the years I was a firefighter. I needed to keep at the top of my game, as it was not just my own life that depended upon it. Truth, this humor is brilliant. But rubber pants? No, man, leather.
The one thing I never liked about Jeremy is his hypocricy regarding bikes, especially when he complains about the noise they make when going past his house and then says how marvellous it is that you can hear an Aston Martin from two miles away!
To the pommies out there, please explain “you are a peach”. Obviously sarcastic or an innuendo? Hamster was not being sweet and helpful. Unless it is the ‘fruit’ innuendo to being gay?
I think the threesome should drive steam traction engine , lorry and road roller into London , maybe even a parade of steam powered vehicles , right past Westminster - just because they can , and since most such vehicles are 100+ years old they are all exempt from Boris hated ULEZ . Also do a feature on 40+ year old ULEZ exempt cars , like RR Shadow , Mercedes 6.3 or Jensen Interceptor
@@therealvbw every vehicle is road tax exempt since 1937. Conversely every vehicle that uses public roads (from unicycles to ebikes to eighteen wheelers) is subject to vehicle excise duty which is based on their emissions. Ergo, pedal powered vehicles pay £0.00 VED while old diesel tractors* pay through the nose. *qualifier: vehicles made before 1 January 1982 are classed as zero emission for some reason, you could be blowing white smoke and still pass your MOT yet pay 0 VED.
From experience I can agree with Clarkson. A lot of cyclists love hogging up the road and being in deliberately unsafe positions. A lot of them don’t know the difference between red and green too.
Bikes are good and a lot of fun. I'm also a jeep, truck and car fanatic. My bike of choice is a Harley. I also own a jeep and a pickup truck. I do agree with alot of what you say but on some things you're full of crap. But that's what makes the show fun. Got to have someone on the show that's full of crap sometimes.
I remember him reporting on the Ali Pali bike show in '91, he was taken for a ride on the back of a GSXR1100. All you could hear of his report was screaming like a little girl, one of the funniest things I've seen. Basically they frighten him.
Learning to ride a motorcycle is one of the best decisions I ever made. 2 accidents later, neither of which were my fault, I'll never go back to just being a cager.

1:53 im 100% with Hammond on that statement, Rossi is the GOAT
(to Hammond) "Some spotty oik turns up in your house at a PQRSZ double T, okay? **changes to a different British accent** I've got to tear your eyes out. **back to normal voice** What're you going to do? Ha! Got him!" -This quote from Jezza during the Bike News killed me.
So as a frequent cyclist myself I've NEVER understood why ANYONE in their right mind would run a red light any variety of bike, motor or pedal. Because and this might just be me I personally prefer my entrails INSIDE my body please and thank you
I like how the UA-cam ad was for a car.
James Blunts reply was epic 🤣🤣🤣
Laws I would put in place:
1. If there is a cycle lane present (either marked on the road or built into the pavement), a cyclist MUST use it.
2. Single file only.
3. No large boxes at traffic lights, only continue the cycle lane to the lights, with a small cross section for those wanting to turn right.
Laws I would put in place: no cars inside city borders, smaller trucks and cargo vans get a single lane that's got railings and another one for buses.
@@manaspradhan8041 Wow how terrible 🤣
@@JakandDaxterAddict who's at loss here? Lot less traffic, so being on the road is actually not frustrating and commuting in general is a lot more pleasant. Imagine driving without having to deal with city traffic
@@manaspradhan8041 No cars in the city centre? I'm the one at loss. I want to drive into the city centre.
9:12 Gotta agree with Clarkson here, I live in a rural area and there are few things worse to hear than the screeching of a motorbike. Absolutely ruins the tranquility.
No different to a chav in a clapped out Peugeot with a fart can exhaust
Only bikes are actually fast. The Peugeot is making all that noise for what? They’re slow
Jeremy represents all of us who have that had moment behind a cyclist who causes a 20 car queue because they won't pull in and you can't get by them.
fer sher cars and trucks never do that 🙄
Never seen that - normally polluters just run over cyclists around here, queue or not.
I haven't experienced that, but I know the difference in traffic culture is massive depending on the country.
In Sweden, for one, we generally have enough bike lanes for cars and bikes not to cross paths much. Here, mopeds and EPA tractors hold the honor of what you described. And the latter is so, so much worse.
20 buses in 1st gear behind a wanker cyclist up the main street of sydney...but hes saving the planet.
To be fair, that last ad they came up with was pretty good.
Never seen an episode of Top Gear; I can see why it was so popular now.
Wow!
The fact the they decided to show anti cycling ads to Gold Medal Olympic Cyclist Chris Boardman
James blunt always has the best comebacks
The last one is so true with two additions:
-They don't understand that the white zebra crossing means they DON'T have the right of way if they're on their bike
-Most of them ignore/don't know that traffic signs apply to them as well (or just don't know what they mean in general)
As someone who bicycled from 1986-2014 (a serious accident ended that) I was pretty much the only one on the road, for about 15 years, so I learned very quickly to obey ALL the laws that pertain to both cars and bicycles and not to leave a bad taste in motorists mouths.
It infuriates me when bicyclists: don’t obey traffic SIGNS, crosswalks (especially when pedestrians are present) four way stop signs, and the ones who were telling me to get off the road and onto the sidewalk are now the ones with this entitlement mentality that they own the road.
Say what you will about Armstrong, but he once said, “Bicyclists borrow the road, cars(motorists) own tue road.”
8:28 You’re welcome
Bicycle
-way faster innercity commute haha
-easier to store and repair
-cheaper
-who doesn't like some exercise?
-who needs crumple zones?
-no trunk space to carry dead bodies around in
-ughh British weather
Car
-nyoooooooooom
-trunk space to carry a dead body around
-radio
-heating
-o no TRAFFIC JAM
-o no COSTLY
-o no BIG, COMPLEX
-crumple zone? I need that
James Blunt took Jeremy's schtick and fired it right back so well, what a lad
"PQRS Z TT" genuinely does sound like a name for a bike.
Its not about lap times.. bikes will always be behind race cars... its about the feeling one gets while strapped to said machine. You do not get into a motorbike.... you strap it on and become one with it.
A MotoGP bike will lap a circuit faster than anything short of a formula 1 car. So no, they’re not really behind race cars
The acceleration of a MotoGP bike is unmatched by any race car
@@CrazyPanda688 Acceleration is better yes but not corner speed. That is way lower. On a circuit with a long front and back straight the bike might lap faster due to being able to use its acceleration to full extent, but on a twisting circuit with shorter straights they will lap slower. For example. The MotoGP record at CoTA is 2:02:575, while the F1 record there is 1:36:169, Indy Lights 1:56:574, Formula V8 1:51:43 and Indy Car 1:48:49. Yes the Porsche Carrera Cup is slower at 2:08:207 and NASCAR even slower at 2:11:549, however my point is that there are a lot of car categories that will beat the MotoGP bikes around most of the world race circuits.
"Run! Run or you'll be a lot shorter."

im a biker i loved this i do own a car too when its pissing of rain i will use the car when its a nice sunny day i will ride my motorbike. only other bikers will know what im talking about but you feel more free with a bike you become the bike the slightest movement just turns the bike the gear change you just feel the bike it almost feeling like your flying your aware of every single moment of your surroundings become enhanced you feel alive. in a car i can literally drive 50 miles and not remember a thing about that drive and only become aware when im on a round about on at a junction its a hole different experience you just feel more in control on a motorbike they more dangerous as richard hammond himself said but thats down to user error not the bike i grew up with bikers my dad was a biker i knew how to strip and ride a bike before i was the age of 14. my parents owned private land i knew how to drive a car by the time i was 15 its impossible for me to even stall a car and a bike when i was teaching my nephew i tried to stall it to prove a point but my body automatically kept correcting it without even thinking about it. cyclist on the other hand i despise them ive had my wing mirrors smashed up it was not a damn thing i could do about it they have no insurance pay no road tax and legally you cant detain them.
@Daniel Lawson not as you use them you choose to be in the middle of the road going 10mph in a 60 lane. yous pay no road tax or have no insurance you have no opinion how the laws of the road should be its comedy gold every time i see a cyclist fall off
i’ve driven motorcycles for years (600cc supersport). my groin is not looking great.
The exact reason i switched to a gold wing.
I’m an adamant motorcycle fan, I think Clarkson is hilarious
The last one had me dying 🤣
Where did Jeremy get the stereotype that motorcyclists are gay? Like I can see where's he coming from with a lot of his other stereotypes, but could never understand this one. He's the only person I've ever heard of make this joke!
Cracked up when jeremy came with the chainsaw
I don't mind most bikers but I hate arrogant cyclists though.
yeah the arrogant type of cyclists are the worst
7:57 Ironically, the Power Rangers have used motorbikes in the past
This is all great sport. I love automobiles, I have been repairing them for almost 40 years. Exotic machines, and the common.
I have worked on, and driven, some extremely rare ones. Some absurdly expensive. In the millions, actually.
But, we all have our passions. For years, I rode a bicycle 22,000 km per year, in all weather conditions, for sport and to get to work, yes, repairing cars.
I have several hundred thousand miles on motorcycles. It's very different, riding is a completely different world from taking out the car. I have ridden a motorcycle through thunderstorms, even when the cars had given up and pulled over.
I must qualify this, cycling was critical in the years I was a firefighter. I needed to keep at the top of my game, as it was not just my own life that depended upon it.
Truth, this humor is brilliant. But rubber pants? No, man, leather.
You know what, that last clip, was a good one 👍😂😂👌
“They stand up by themselves…”
Well not if Hammond is in it, it’ll just fall over 😂😂
6:54 I came for this bit
The one thing I never liked about Jeremy is his hypocricy regarding bikes, especially when he complains about the noise they make when going past his house and then says how marvellous it is that you can hear an Aston Martin from two miles away!
Britain
I guess the argument is that one goes wroom and other goes reeeeee. But also, as you said, hypocrisy and personal preference
@@TrolledBy There's many bikes out there that don't go reee, a Ducati sounds like a tractor, almost like a muscle car of bikes.
Bikes sound like an autistic cat being stepped on, Aston’s sound like a symphony
What does jeremy mean with peach/pic at 6:57?
The trio went to Albania once for a "mafia car roadtest" where peach (píč) means lady garden in Albanian (it's also a Czech swear word).
To the pommies out there, please explain “you are a peach”. Obviously sarcastic or an innuendo? Hamster was not being sweet and helpful. Unless it is the ‘fruit’ innuendo to being gay?
That episode was the lads in albania and peach (pich) in albanian means vag
@@Mustang150y thank you!
Fuck off you convict
"Act your age. Get a car"
Words to live by.
Said by the man who collects cars as If they were toys.
I think the threesome should drive steam traction engine , lorry and road roller into London , maybe even a parade of steam powered vehicles , right past Westminster - just because they can , and since most such vehicles are 100+ years old they are all exempt from Boris hated ULEZ . Also do a feature on 40+ year old ULEZ exempt cars , like RR Shadow , Mercedes 6.3 or Jensen Interceptor
Steam cars are also exempt to road tax
@@therealvbw every vehicle is road tax exempt since 1937. Conversely every vehicle that uses public roads (from unicycles to ebikes to eighteen wheelers) is subject to vehicle excise duty which is based on their emissions. Ergo, pedal powered vehicles pay £0.00 VED while old diesel tractors* pay through the nose.
*qualifier: vehicles made before 1 January 1982 are classed as zero emission for some reason, you could be blowing white smoke and still pass your MOT yet pay 0 VED.
Steam tractors are really cool though so they get a pass
Miss their chat I really do. Clarkson. Easy rider James. On a bike on Route 66 love to see that this footage is fab
does clarkson know you aren't obligated to wear a full suit while on a bike
Hammond, just show 5 seconds of the Isle of Man TT, and Clarkson loses. Those blokes make NASCAR look like a Gay Pride Parade. And I’m American.
The ads were pretty effective to be honest, and very clever.
@9:17 needs to be a ringtone😂😂😂
Edit: does anyone know what episode that it’s from?
As someone who rides and drives the last clip is pretty relevant
You’d expect an avid motorsport enthusiast to be really into motorcycles like the other 2 lads
From experience I can agree with Clarkson. A lot of cyclists love hogging up the road and being in deliberately unsafe positions. A lot of them don’t know the difference between red and green too.
This video made me like Jeremy even more
I bloody miss Top Gear!!
Sundays, Roast Dinners, Ale’s and Top Gear!!!
Absolute Bliss!!!
Bikes are good and a lot of fun. I'm also a jeep, truck and car fanatic. My bike of choice is a Harley. I also own a jeep and a pickup truck. I do agree with alot of what you say but on some things you're full of crap. But that's what makes the show fun. Got to have someone on the show that's full of crap sometimes.
You're opinion is correct but unfortunately you own a Harley so I'm going to ignore it anyway.

"I don't want to hear a forming burp going past my house on a Sunday afternoon, with someone dressed like a Power Ranger!"
R/BrandNewSentence.
Forming burps come from Harleys and Harley riders don't wear one piece leathers.
I find Jezza's jokes about cyclists funny, and I'm a cyclist!
I remember him reporting on the Ali Pali bike show in '91, he was taken for a ride on the back of a GSXR1100. All you could hear of his report was screaming like a little girl, one of the funniest things I've seen. Basically they frighten him.
And somehow this man won the Vietnam bike challenge
Cause hes a legend.
'Oh I did a skid!' *falls over*
Creased!
The James Blunt comment is so funny 😂
7:44 Why have they made an Adeptus Astartes scout bike?
I like how the first one cuts to James May
Learning to ride a motorcycle is one of the best decisions I ever made. 2 accidents later, neither of which were my fault, I'll never go back to just being a cager.
Let's not forget about the stupidly high increase in prostate cancer chances that bicyclists have. The bike seat can give you cancer.
Still more fun than stupidly expensive cars lol, the only way to have fun with a car is if you're rich otherwise the only thing available are boring Corollas.
@@Maidenintime86terrible take. A slow car you can drive as fast as it can go and not be super worried about its price is infinitely better than a fast car you gotta drive slow and are so worried about it having a leaf fall on it
I would like to know where you got that info from, it's a fucking lie there's no reason a bike seat would give you cancer, no reason at all just stupid car guys say shit like you.
@@Maidenintime86 I have a 2004 Civic **Value Package** shitbox. And I have infinitely more fun with that thing just following the rules of the road than any bike I've ever been on.
He isnt wrong, cyclist are the most snobby and entitled snobs in the world! they literally believe the roadways were made for them and all traffic laws only applies to cars.
@Daniel Lawson Roadways were designed for horse and cart before bikes.
Those anti-bike ads were pretty good!
The people that are offended by Jezza's jokes just need to grow a thicker skin. Lighten up.
