that is f***ing nuts.

I was expecting a few more 'close' calls to be honest, going that fast, that crazy, through a busy city like london is asking for trouble. a blatant disregard for the road rules too :P

haha mad f***ers

i feel for the pedestrians in that clip..

in holland crossing a road is pretty f***ed.. they have ped lanes cycle lanes car lanes and bus lanes each with there own separate traffic lights.. i have had a few close calls trying not to get knocked on my ass from a bike

but now i got my own bike i feel part of the place.. just cruise around behind a bunch of other bikes.. its a pretty relaxing way of getting around.. + all the bikes are sit up straight types so you can take in the view

pedistrans are the worse! they always step out in front of you. i know one day ill swerve to miss one and get cleaned up.

most of the time the traffic is going f*** all pace so on the bike your over taking every mofo.

Haha nice bit near the start where they go onto the wrong side of the road right in front of a turning police car.
