I wonder how many instances this program will show us of cyclists running red lights, not indicating, cycling on the pavement, cycling at night with no lights? Things I witness on a daily basis.
You cant really claim it its pro cyclist given they began with the pompous prat who is the stereotypical Cyclist that makes white van man and cabbies turn purple with rage.
They think they have the rights over the roads and that everyone should move out of the way of them
The roads aren't set out well enough for them, but there also isn't much enforcable legislation to make sure cyclists follow the highway code. Cyclists are their own worst enemy.

Very true, and they just showed one on the pavement and one running a red light. Don't get me wrong, there are just as many bad car drivers as well.
I wonder if some of the car drivers reaction is based on a rush of adrenaline when they realise they have nearly hit somebody. It must be frightening so perhaps they start shouting because they are hyped up.
HGV drivers are one of my pet hates, cyclists might think they can do what they want on the road but its nothing in comparison to lorries on the motorway. If I had £1 for every time a lorry has almost hit me by cutting in I'd be able to buy a decent car.
What a ridiculous programme...trying to make out that it's the in thing now for cyclists to go around with a camera on their helmet. More like the BBC attached cameras to cyclists helmets in order to get a tv show. That boy at the start of the show was a complete idiot..."If you can touch a vehicle from your bike then it means the vehicle is too close"...what utter rubbish. The taxi driver shouldn't have reacted as angrily as he did, but I'm not surprised he was annoyed when he had a cyclist banging on his taxi when he wasn't even in the cycle lane. The boy had a camera on his head from the BBC and needed footage, which is why he caused such a commotion with the taxi driver on purpose. What a ridiculous show by the BBC.

I nearly got wiped out by one the other day. On the motorway on Monday and one forced a car onto the hard shoulder - It was really scary.

The taxi driver was too close and was cutting the cyclist up.

You are ill-informed.
There is a culture for cyclists using cameras now. Sorry, you are wrong.

On two occasions a HGV driver has saved me a crash, but I have lost count of the number of times they have pulled out when I'm part way past them, must be in the several hundreds.

The problem is one of physics. Hgvs and the like have poor visibiliy to the sides and nothing to the rear. If you try passing a hgv on a turn your taking your life in your own hands because the driver simply cannot see you

Certainly can believe that the first cyclist loves using his camera. He is a very poor choice if the want to have cyclists get much sympathy and credit from this show

He was provoked

Agreed. I'm aghast when I see cyclists with headphones on. I use my ears almost as much as my eyes on the road.
Eh aye. That'll stand up in court.
Agree
LOL... the cyclists are getting a bashing now.
car drivers next .....
The trouble is the big vehicles don't see cyclists.

It is that simple.

That's a bit emotive.
