Feeling wistful about riding my bike whilst I'm out with a broken ankle so here's a little throwback ride round London on a super hot day back in September 2023. There is no outro just a little snip of sunset. Soz.
Thanks for coming along for the ride. Feel free to like, comment and subscribe etc and I hope to see you all again very soon 😊

I am so tempted to get a fixed gear bike, it looks like you are having such a blast. But having got into cycling as a a somewhat more vintage fella, I am concerned that I won' pick it up and will continually stop peddling!!

Hate to say it, but that bridge you said was London Bridge was actually Southwark Bridge 😆 Looked a fun ride, got me missing long days and warm weather. On the RLJ, Sunday in central London is generally about the most reasonable time to do it...

in the usa stopping on red lights/stop signs is governed by the state not Feds. In my state/city, as long as one slow down long enough to touch the pavement with a foot, check for traffic then continue if clear.

Red lights: We have lights that only change if they detect a car waiting. If it's just a cycle, they'll NEVER change. So yeah, in those cases, I just look and go.

This is so true! There are some special cycling ones here that still don’t have motion sensors capable of picking up a cyclist so I end up having to press the pedestrian button and crossing on red! A good point well made 🙌🏼

I tend to drive as it’s sadly a) so much cheaper at £175 return and b) trains in Cornwall are becoming borderline mythical creatures. Plus even when you book a bike space they aren’t always guaranteed when you get there (two per train is frankly ridiculous). I am taking my. Ike to Leeds on the train next month though, wish me luck!

As a London cyclist, I'm gonna say that if it's clear, as in no oncoming traffic or pedestrians crossing, then it's safer and sensible to crawl through a red light. There's been too many cases of cyclists dying at red lights, especially in central London. Even had a case a couple of years ago when the police were instructing cyclists to ignore the red lights along The Mall due to roadworks closing the road to motorised traffic. Naturally, the Daily Mail didn't see it that way and were running stories about cyclists blowing red lights outside Buckingham Palace 🤦🏿🤦🏿
@amerridesbikes
@amerridesbikes 3 ай бұрын
There definitely are times when it is safer as a cyclist to go through on red. Particularly junctions with crazy left turns where cyclists have to wait on the left, if I’m not mistaken. The Daily hate Mail love to paint all cyclists (and women, and many other communities) in poor light but that’s pretty outrageous isn’t it. One day we will get that ride in Merv and you can show me around properly 🤗🙌🏼

No its never all right to blow a red light. In an ideal world it would be fine if the road is totally clear, But in this world you need to be aware of metal box dwellers who get angry and drive more aggressively. They may noy hit you but they could hit someone else or contribute to the anti cyclist rhetoric that puts us all in danger. Think of the cycling community and stand at the lights for a minute or two.
@amerridesbikes
@amerridesbikes 3 ай бұрын
There genuinely are instances when it is safer to cross on red on a bicycle. I drive 20,000 miles a year all over the country and I ride a motorbike so I am familiar with how ignorant and aggressive the “metal box dwellers” are. I personally have mostly stopped road cycling as the standards of driving and unnecessary aggression is frightening and too many take liberties with my life. There are some incredibly thoughtless cyclists that give us all a bad name, not going to deny that. It’s a very delicate situation but the privilege and entitlement of road users on both sides can be quite astounding
