Many drivers don't care how fast you're going. You're a cyclist, that means you're slow, that means they must overtake. Just for the heck of it.

On a daily basis I am confronted with the same problems in and around Zurich. It seems almost as if car drivers believe that they are the undisputed kings of the road and that the lives of others are worth nothing. The most dangerous thing that regularly happens to me are car drivers who overtake me to make a turn in front of me, forcing me to brake in order to not crash. As if after passing me I magically vanish into thin air.

I call it "Cycle Blindness" and I find it's more and more common! I must say I'm no where near as polite as you when they try to kill me!

I'm so surprised about the Swiss. I thought you guys were super quiet and enjoyed order a lot ahah. I'm glad you are fine!

Hello. You made my life easier with your videos. I live in Italy and I ride a lot. I discovered that not only in Italy are silly cyclist and bad drivers! Thank you!

Best way to stop them overtaking you to closely especially when there are no cycle lanes available or it's just to dangerous to use them is to always occupy the traffic lane and stay right in the dead centre of the middle of the lane this then prevents them for overtaking you as easily and also to close for comfort or risk hitting you as easily as well also even if there is a cycle lane available in a roundabout avoid using them if possible alright and use the traffic lane due to Vechices entering and exiting the roundabouts at speed and may not see you properly and could risk possibly maybe potentially accidentally hitting you by accident

You remain soooo calm in these situations. Very patient indeed :)

Holy shit... the busdriver i would send a message to the Dienststelle... number and time of the bus, together with link to this video. And as I said before: when it gets narrow, close the lane and cycle in the middle. Don't let them overtake you. That is how I do it. But I also use a mirror... You're cycling too much to the right and invite them to overtake you when there is no space. And when I do the speed limit, I cycle in the middle of the lane when there is no cycle lane. Especially in 30-km-streets. No need to overtake me there.

As the Swiss people can make very delicious chocolate as they drive very badly.

Many thanks for those videos. Comparing to other cities Basel is a cyclist friendly city but things can be improved again with better drivers behaviors

Nothing that can't be solved with a brick through the windshield

If their are driving in a company vehicle, just send the footage to their employer. I do this all the time, only got positive Feedback so far.

What's the difference between the line of triangle giveway markings and the dashed line ones?

You're a good dude. Very interesting video.

if you want them to stay behind you, then take the lane. Don't move over to the right so far like that. If you can't keep up, sure, move to the right. Personally, I way people on to pass me, which is if there is room to pass me and there is no incoming traffic and i'm moving slower than traffic, then i'll way people behind me to pass while still holding position of the lane (passing me in the oncoming lane) If there isn't room to pass me (oncoming traffic) and i'm not moving flow of traffic, I will stay to the lane and only allow them to pass (again, wave them on) once i see there is an opening. You can't trust cagers and their instincts.

It's the same here in Bhutan!! Drivers treat us like we are invisible. We cyclists just have to be extremely defensive on the road. It's our lives on the line 😱

Beautiful countryside, gorgeous towns, but terrible drivers. That's a sweet cruiser there at 5:22.

damn 1:13 VW r32 that's one hell of a car, too bad the driver doesn't know how to drive.

Bei 0:16 mit dem offenen smart, das war ich hahaha

Hey, welche Handschuhe empfiehlst du bei Kälte und/oder Nässe? Cooler Channel. :)

This is where a claw hammer comes in handy bloody Motorists

Even driving instructors are teaching to pull out in front of cyclists 5.16

So much pain in this video(

1:09 you're wearing pitch black clothes on a black bicycle + you're behind another car, he has no way of seeing you.

I do not have issues on the bicycle , but you do , which suggests that the issue may be with yourself, one glaring issue is that you wear dark clothing making yourself hard to see.

You can tell you are in Switzerland, have not heard one swear word, do you get fined if you swear ?

If you are going to ride up against the curb, allowing cars to pass within the same lane, then dont bitch when they do. EIther take up the lane or deal with people trying to pass, its that simple.

I think some understanding should be made for the new car driver in 5:15, had I been the cyclist, I would have lane changed asap.

I was going to say the first one was your fault. Wrong side of the road so not your right of way. Then I realised you weren’t in Britain!

Yeah happens all the time... The other day in traffic I was taking the lane to not get doored and I hear this van accelerate to try an run me over and then he yelled at me for rightfully taking the lane. He got 10 meters ahead before he had to stop in traffic.. Learn to drive and to not murder ppl...

Woa. And this is Switzerland...

Scho trurig wie diä meischte nöd auto fahre chönd 🙈

OMG. So many bad drivers in how many days?

Do you have a leccy bike?

Cheeting Tesla.

BS 75833 - das ist sowas von überflüssig und gefährlich - Lappen wegnehmen! Und dann auch noch schön "stramm rechts" an der Ampel - damit der Radfahrer auch ja nicht vorbeifahren kann. Steht "L" neuerdings für Rambo?

If you were driving a car that could not keep up with traffic on the flats and uphill, you would naturally put your hazard lights on and stay to the right.. Similarly, if you were driving a car that did not have the breaking ability to stop safely in normal driving conditions, like sharing the road with other drivers and pedestrians, you would not push your car to the speed limit, instead you would probably get your breaks fixed before taking your car on the road. This bicyclist doesn’t stay to the right while not keeping up with other traffic, and similarly reaches unsafe speeds on downhills where he cannot possibly break in time for normal traffic behavior in front of him. Combine that with insisting on speeding in congested conditions, and aggressively biking in times of poor visibility, at night and in weather conditions, means that he will soon have a serious accident. -That’s really the story here, unfortunately, and not “who’s at fault”.

Lose the music.

Would it seem boring to you to NOT entertain us with crappy music? Interesting vid but 1min & Im out.

This would of never happen if you had rode defensively and use LED flashing lights which motorist respond to that also Poor lane control

Horrible music, can’t watch anymore
