I live out in Herts so I cycle on mainly country lanes. Very different experience! It does seem a bit of a free for all with the cyclists breaking more rules than anyone, although not causing as much risk in the process. I personally would not be so keen on going down the inside and past parked cars around 5:00. Just waiting for someone to open a door in front of you 😬
Came upon your video. I lived in Romford, worked close to Liverpool station and left for Canada in 1964 and now live in Toronto. With 1/5th the population of London I refuse to bike for recreation in the city. Too hectic and ugly. I will take the tube or a commuter train out of the city and do my 70 -80 km rides in the suburbs or country areas and return with a relaxing commuter ride home. Yes, I am 79 and do 12,000 km a year. Two months in sunny Florida in Jan & Feb.
I lived and commuted on a bicycle in London for 7 years, and I can assure with no doubt cyclists are by far the worst on London roads. I had a HDD full of helmet camera footage with the most stupid guys riding but never had the time or the stamina to do anything with it. You are one of the few exceptions, well done!
Like the videos! One suggestion from me would be to include the area names more often. Some locations I recognise and know very well, some look familiar but can't figure out where they are and others I'm entirely clueless!
Good speed for the filtering, also nice to see you walking around the roadworks I know a lot of people who would have just ridden on the pavement. Some people saying it like no cyclists stop for red lights in London but it's clear from your video that is not the case

February 24 sounds like 24th February. February 24th will be less confusing.
I see most of them don't even have a driving licence or senses
