London is growing super fast, ask anybody what it was like in the 90's or earlier. I look forward to seeing london when I'm an 80 yo man. That is, if it doesnt decline during that time.

@@ub3rfr3nzy94 Red Skelton made a joke decades ago about all the construction cranes in London. He said it would be a great city once they finish it.

London, like the universe, is in a state of constant expansion.

It’s because it’s an ancient city and has LOTS of obsolete designs and structures. It needs constant updating for modern times. I mean most of the roads until recently didn’t have the capacity to have two side by side cars even.

There used to be an effort to try maintain the character of London and not turn it into yet another skyscraper city. That went out the window under Boris and there's been an orgy of construction since

Well sure, he needs to wait 2-3 weeks for full protection. And then we got those variants who might be vaccine resistant, better safe than sorry.

@@myratsalad Fear of a virus that has killed millions in a year, yes.

@@bread8465 guess how many will die from obesity or traffic accidents... Way more numerous than COVID, yet less scary somehow (and people still go to McDonalds' drive-through)

@@elpini0 I disagree with you but we both like LGIO

@@SniveReal don't know what lgio means 😊 but you are free to disagree. Just do a fast Google search and you will see that since the beginning of the virus (worst part of the pandemic) at least 4 million people have died. That's roughly the same amount of deaths per year from traffic accidents and obesity together. Now, probably in the next year less people will die from COVID, so my point stands on the table: more people will die from obesity and traffic accidents than from COVID, yet we are much less concerned about it

I'm LDS and that had me laughing. Glad Grey got the vaccine and is showing support.

Stay away from the Mormon Church! it is a cult!

thats not why ireland is the only country that has freedom of travel between the uk

And handily, Ireland has an arrangement with the UK that predates either country’s entry into the EU that allows their citizens to live and work in either country. He won’t be affected by Brexit, so that’s nice.

I was about to comment on that! An American (I think?) with an Irish passport, living in England.

Maaan I wish I could get EU citizenship through family. It seems work visas are basically impossible to get unless you're either some hyperspecialized uberprofessional OR an English teacher making next-to-nothing. Meanwhile the lucky ones can just be born to the right people.

It's also weird we seem to be the only country not getting mass vaccinated and still battling with lockdowns

It's not really'weird', just incompetence and bad management. I will concede that supply is a factor and not something the government can do anything about but overall the vaccination response has been very poor andineptly managed.

@@seanmcdonald5859 Just a bit of sarcasm, friend

I loved that touch. It made me chuckle.

Had to go back and check. That's so cool

When I got my vaccine the location was filled with LDS missionaries volunteering (directing traffic, getting information, etc.). So at least some church members are doing their part.

@@steffahn Why Sakamoto is so popular now? =P

Under the road regulations of most European countries you are expected to bike in the road if there is no bike lane/path. If you are on the sidewalk you have to yield to pedestrians.

@@marcusmyge I suspect in the US you are supposed to by law bike in the road (this is how it is in Canada). However if you did so you might well get honked at etc. for obeying the law, just because it is legally allowed or even required does not mean it is actually custom.

@@allanolley4874 yeah you’re legally supposed to but you really shouldn’t

As a Dutch person it looked confusing and unsafe. What especially got me was him biking on the left side, which is the right side over there but it took me a moment to register. ^^; Here we have bike lanes all over the place and if not, it's at places where cars can't drive very fast anyway.

I noticed this too, and it makes me want to be more social like Grey.

Coming out of a pandemic, every social interaction seems like something new.

Maybe he knew he was on camera?

He's not some wild-haired hermit, *incapable* of being social when the situation calls for it. He just doesn't thrive on that the way some people do.

@@oli0808 Oh, being on camera doesn't really stop rude people from being rude.

And not only a church. A Mormon church.

Almost looks like an office building though

@@Berlin2Best In larger cities, they tend to look like that. Adaptation to save space.

gotta?

Um. Grey appeared out of nowhere. He shouldn't have been going down the left side of that stationary truck and if he was going to do it, he should have slowed down.

@@beeble2003 is that local law? Grey was fully in the right according to my local law

@@firstname405 Legally, in the UK, it's a bit of a grey area (no pun intended). If the cyclist is counted as a separate lane of traffic, it's legal to pass on the left; if he's not counted as a separate lane, it's not legal. But I wasn't talking about the law, I was talking about practical matters of safety. As they say, "The right of way is not a right worth dying for." Passing that way is dangerous for three reasons: 1. if the traffic lights change, the truck will start moving; if it moves to the left, the cyclist could get crushed; 2. if the truck is waiting to let somebody turn across his path, that vehicle will potentially hit the cyclist (this is more or less what happened, though it looks like the scooter was pushing his way through a narrow gap to use the left lane even though he wasn't going left); 3. even if nothing goes wrong immediately, passing the truck means the truck will have to overtake again after the lights, and being overtaken (especially by wide vehicles that can't give you a lot of space) is one of the most dangerous times for cyclists.

He was wearing his hexagon schwag... I believe I'd click to that... in London... on a bike.

@@beeble2003 I'm a little puzzled since it seems legit and safe to me. 1. The truck must signal before changing lanes and be aware of who is to his left. 2. Whoever is crossing in front of the truck does not have the right of way for oncoming traffic. They must look around the truck before proceeding. 3. Being overtaken is to be expected on roads for bikes. You stay to your left (or right in the US) and hope for the best. All that said, your points on safety are correct. I HAVE been hit by an overtaking truck that didn't see me and left me just 18 inches between the curb and the truck. I hit pickup truck's sideview mirror with my elbow and the curb. I blew out my front tire and got a baseball-sized hematoma on my elbow. No other harm though. The driver stopped and called the police and I got nice restitution for my damages from his insurance. He got a ticket. He was supposed to give me 3 feet, (a meter) in the lane.

You mean e.g. in the basement of the SIS Building at Vauxhall Cross where Q is just in the process of building some new nifty new features into an Aston Martin in the background while Grey gets his Covid shot? That certainly would have been a sight for sore eyes. ;-)

To the ministry of magic then?

Yikes.

Only the mRNA vaccines do you have to wait (Pfizer and Moderna), he must have had the Astra Zenaca as you dont have to wait for that

Yeh, you had to stick around for 15 mins in Canada.

Where I live you report these online or call an emergency center specific to it

He must have spent way more than 15 minutes at the museum 😁

Or any point with little visibility to the road ahead.

Maybe he's just keen to become an organ donor.

As a Londoner cyclist myself, that's just how you have to cycle! It was safe given the red light ahead. Also given it was a bin truck, I'd rather be ahead of it than smelling it from behind!

Aye from HGVs turning left into them. Where was that bin lorry going to turn?

Although I would have done the same in that situation, I was surprised to see Grey do that given how risk averse he seems to be. It's a stark contrast to the video where he made a huge deal about how dangerous it was that he drove down a highway at night one time.

It's really, completely different from NY in many ways. I like both, but there's a history and elegance to London as it's a much older city. Lots of green spaces, too. The tall buildings of NY are impressive in their own way, but everything's packed in very close together and it's way more intense.

I think London is the second most unique looking city, right after Hong Kong.

depends on where you go.

Honestly, same.

Ha, don't come anywhere in North America then. 😂 Although I'm not sure which is worse, the cities that don't even try, or the ones that want to make it better and put a half-hearted temporary lane up with orange cones removing an entire lane of traffic and blocking a ton of turning lanes, and then act all surprised when bikers don't appear en mass overnight (bear in mind that the distances people travel from home to work, school and shop are often further than 15km) and the vehicle drivers get upset.

There’s a ‘passing you on the left hand side’ joke somewhere here. But I’d not be the one to make it.

As an American I'm impressed with UK bike paths :P

Imperial College is actually spread over most of the west side of central London, Exhibition Road is pretty much just for undergraduates and engineering research.
