    The best part of this was that she tried to save a few seconds by driving illegally on the wrong side of the road and cut the corner and ended up losing 10 minutes- so that backfired

      It's amazing how people cut these corners to 'save time' but when stopped and told to go back, they put their ego and pride first to make some sort of point. Literally just reversing and rejoining the queue in the CORRECT lane would have taken 2-3 mins.

      Because in their chimp mind Mikey is on two wheels and the poor woman he is accosting is on four, therefore they feel solidarity with the lawbreaking woman rather than the cyclist who is merely telling her she’s breaking the law and to go back. This is a result of years of propaganda which has reduced most people’s thinking to “cyclist bad, driver good”

      Spot on!
      A while ago I was 3/4 of the way down a narrow road when another driver came around the corner and blocked my path. She indicated for me to reverse. I didn't.
      The passenger eventually got out the car and said that she couldn't. She said, "you know women drivers", tried to be jovial about it. I said it was absolutely ridiculous and that the driver should have waited to see that the path was clear before proceeding and so I refused to move.
      The passenger got irate and went back to their car. I turned off the ignition and sat there.
      It was probably only 2 or 3 mins. I knew I would have to reverse as she was incapable.
      So I reverse and I see big smiles. But I don't go all the way, I stop just before it gets wide enough for her to pass. I switch off the ignition and get my slr from the back seat and take a few snaps. The red mist descended again from the passenger. 😁 The End.

We are all citizens of this country and we all have the responsibility to ensure that our laws are adhered to. So if a non-police officer sees a person being attacked in the street then they should ignore it because “they’re not the police”? To exist in a civilised society we are ALL responsible for ensuring our laws are followed , not just a citizen in a uniform.

    • @CyclingMikey
      @CyclingMikey  3 роки тому

      Yes, good comment and of course I have concerns - it's wrong, and they shouldn't do it. There are several reasons why I don't deal with them:
      1) By far the most danger comes from the car drivers doing this, not only because of their size and mass, but also because of the speed and carelessness which many drivers go through here. In contrast most motorcyclists and cyclists are much more careful when doing this. Two wheelers have skin in the game, drivers do not.
      2) I have limited spare time, and I'm not going to spend all of it doing this. That means I'll focus on the most dangerous, being the drivers. This is fairness. It's also my choice.
      3) I don't feel able to stop cyclists or motorcyclists doing this as if they fell off because of me stopping them I'd be on very dodgy moral and legal grounds.
      4) Whilst I can report the motorcyclists who do this, I tend only to report the few who do it dangerously. I obviously can't report the cyclists, so all I do is occasionally scold them from the corner.
      5) The Royal Parks police do much the same - rarely stopping cyclists and motorcyclists, and often stopping the drivers when they stake out this junction. That's a good sense check that I'm doing the right thing.
      6) If you want to come down and stop cyclists, feel free to do so. I'll happily film and support you.
      7) It's classic whataboutery to complain about a different thing when I'm dealing with drivers. The focus of this video is the driver.

    It’s an interesting situation you create Mikey. I do admire some of your actions, some not so much, but have you ever considered the fact that a lot of cars mount the pavement to pass the obstruction you cause? Wouldn’t they all be breaking the law too? Isn’t this a dangerous environment you create- you are not fully to blame of course as the car driver is also partially responsible. 06:51, isn’t this guy using his phone while driving, while mounting the pavement, number plate is visible….was he reported? From all the videos of yours I’ve watched, this according to you , would be highly irresponsible and dangerous, and yet it wasn’t mentioned? I think what got me thinking about what you do, is that in the end, the lady driver wasn’t forced to rejoin the line- were all those potentially dangerous situations really worth it?
    I admit I can’t put a number on the potential accidents/lives you have saved/spared from stopping these people breaking the law, I’m sure there are some or many…good luck with it all.
