Okay you're talking about my life I'm going to ride on the sidewalk anytime I feel that the traffic is too dangerous to be playing in especially when there's nobody on the sidewalk 2 miles there's bicycle paths in pedestrian pass combined everywhere why suddenly on a sidewalk in the city streets does it have to change this law is insane and it needs to change how many people look into statistic how many bicycle Riders get hit every year because they're playing in traffic with vehicles are way too big and too powerful and people not paying attention I've known this week I've almost been run over three times by in the crosswalk by people not paying attention just trying to get to work and they don't care who's in the crosswalk they'll run you over so yes I'm going to continue to ride on the sidewalk cuz it's my life and I don't tend to give it up to some idiot this worried about being late because they're in a traffic jam
Even if a cyclist has a full driver license , it still feel like an "Urban Battleground": 100 kg (bike + gears) vs 1500 kg car, guess who will win? Even with full body armor, it will not prevent you from being pinned down (& potential crushed) by impatient commercial vehicles where LGV with 3500 kg mass and no helmet in the world are rated against that, let alone a HGV with 10,000 kg mass.
This is a nice skill to have, but I guess 95% of potential cyclists would feel very uncomfortable filtering on multilevel main roads. I'm glad, that where I'm living (Berlin) most of the streets have bike lanes or bike paths, I get somewhat nervous when riding on a multilane main road without any bike infrastructure since many drivers don't respect you taking the lane and filter and overtake you too tight.
"do not ride up on the pavement to dodge traffic" i like how they dont explain why this is wrong. i do it all the time because the advantage of a bike is it can do anywhere
Now hang on a second, are you admitting to being bad drivers on the road, who don't look in the mirrors or indicate at all? This is a silly video. How stupid is this?
Have you ridden in London lately – almost every cyclist seams to have a vendetta against traffic and must be the first cyclist anywhere – great video, pity so many don’t abide by common sense. And if the new laws about pedestrians and cyclist having right of way are passed this autumn, it’s going to be a blood bath out there.
Nice one. While keeping to the general theme, in fast moving traffic, of "stay as nearside as possible", confident cycling can can allow you to overtake slow or stalled traffic on the offside. Just a few thing to really look out for: Car doors being opened as you approach and, more frequently, pedestrians crossing between slow or stalled traffic – especially from in front of vans, trucks and buses!
I always stay behind, I enjoy bike as corner at 20mph and not slow to a crawl like cars, tempted to maybe filter now but I do feel it is rude as there is only 2 lanes on most roads, no one put a middle lane for motorbikes and bicycles to be on so should be on the 2 actual lanes

Man this is really confusing if you live in the United States, lol
Why isn’t the cyclist using lights and wearing light coloured clothing?
and no helmet?
Aka; how to deal with bad infrastructure.
Why are some number plates blurred out but others not?
👍🏽🚴🏼🇵🇷🇩🇴
Trying to commute in Mumbai, India and I fight with an asshole everyday. Absolutely zero tolerance for cyclists here
What was that pathetic excuse of a hand signal at 1.19?
Crystal Palace!

Filter it in São Paulo hahahaha
Indonesian people are expert at this skill

Do not show riders without a helmet please.
I won't do this because I don't want to hit someone's wingmirror.
Yawn cycling for beginners we all have road sense don't we?
Safe yourself and children on the road. Bicycle RUSSIA – the BEST!!!

My ideals:
Mountain bike:Pedal on the pedastarian
Road Bike: use the damn road
Nah thanks. I’ll wait for segregated cycle lanes with speed limits for bikes and bans on Lycra.
video makes it seem like bicycles belong on the road same as cars…
I can see now that this is mainly shot in Crystal Palace 😊 … good advice, thanks for the video.

If you follow along with the congested traffic, YOU ARE contributing to the traffic congestion.
Hey watch my video Johnny Florida riding a bike with a brick in my head
Awesome footage and editing as well as info! New Subscriber here!
Great advice
– Never overtake on the left
– …
– Wait what??
Ahhh, it's UK
How about when filtering be sure to make rear observations when changing position to avoid impinging on the path of filtering motorcycles.

The only problem seems to be when the traffic starts moving again. No worries here in Germany, as it never starts moving again.

do not filter through traffic stay in line like the 4 wheeled vehicles
No, thanks!
"Filtering" lol. It's lane hogging. Cars can't always overtake in today's roads.

2:06 IDIOT NOT WEARING A HELMET.
Great advice but I have to mirror the whole thing and remember that left is right LOL
