Be honest: some of you think this is great, don't you? Some of you think that a lot of the offences committed in that video shouldn't be offences at all, because bicycles "aren't really that dangerous" and besides, they're a "morally superior" form of transport and "encouraging cycling" (by reducing the number of cycling-related offences) is more important than preventing the "odd" injury.

I'm not "trolling", it's what I really think. Some people here (e.g. Spindrift) see the cyclists in that video as heroes rather than irresponsible idiots. Are they going to bother denying it?

(No excuses this time...this is completely on-topic, and there's nothing about cars. Sorry.)
