    Caught someone driving badly via my cam, am I allowed to put it on youtube with the car reg on?

    Not really sure how to respond to this because the author might be cycling on another planet. "God given right"? I prefer to call it the highway code which I try to follow to the best of my ability. Yes I have amittedly sinned as stated in a previous post. However, I have a problem understanding...

    Caught someone driving badly via my cam, am I allowed to put it on youtube with the car reg on?

    We have a person in this thread that feels that all cyclist get no repect because of the actions of a handfull of cycle idiots. I drive my car and my bike and see idiots driving cars all of the time. Still I am respectful of all traffic at all times because it is the right thing to do. People...

    Caught someone driving badly via my cam, am I allowed to put it on youtube with the car reg on?

    I recently was successful in having action taken against a driver using video evdence. I did not post on youtube however. What you can do is upload your video to dropbox or take advantage of Outlook Express's online storage space. Then send a link to the video via email. The only problem I had...

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    Sadly this is probably the case with the debris spotted. Finding bits of the plane would be like going to the local land fill to find the button you threw away in error.

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    To me, I would find it unbelievable that a large plane going away from it's arranged flight path would not be tracked. If it was not tracked, how easy would it be to have another 9/11 type attack led by terrorist. I believe that the truth begins at the point where the plane first disappeared...

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    It must be very frustrating for the search teams and the families of the missing that no debris found has been that of the plane. I think everyone watching this terible incident unfold would like to see some form of closure.

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    As I said in my last post and has been stated in the news artices, pings from the missing jet were recieved for five hours after it disappeared. Hence the existing information on the day of the crash. As it did take so long for a team of talented satellite tracking analyist to use a new method...

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    The world is saddened by the news that flight MH370 crashed in the Indian Ocean, west of Perth, Australia. Information supplied by a UK company, Inmarsat, confirmed the planes final location. As myself and other felt that this information was available, it is unfortunate that it took this long...

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    The car in the google earth photo is my wife's 2002 Polo. It was taken sometime around 2006 best we can tell. That was 7 years ago. Things have progressed a great deal since then. If google earth's satellite took an updated shot when your bike was there you could indeed tell the color. Go have a...

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    Consider this: I can go to google earth and tell the make of car sitting in my yard. The satellite images were supplied by a country that claims to be able to see license plate from space and fly remote controled bombs through a doorway 1000's of miles away. Yet they could not identify the...

    bike on ebay

    I just looked at this guide. They compare a 33 euro shock against a 240 euro shock and , "SUPRISE!", the 240 euro shock is better. No kidding. Leaving brands out of the equation, this is a good assessment of what you are getting for your money. As far as I can tell you are getting just that when...

    Best tyres for commuting

    As I said in my previous post, I like the Marathon. However, I have the Conti's on my Marin Muirwood (non electric) and in three years of use only had one puncture which was caused by a rather large thorn. I ran those at 90psi as well.

    Best tyres for commuting

    The Marathon plus has a very stiff sidewall and cord structure. They also have a max inflation rating of 85 psi. I run 90 psi with no problems. I feel these factors greatly reduce rolling resistance.

    Dont ignore crashed cyclists

    I took a very nasty trip to the tarmac just over three years ago. I hit a patch of oil or petrol on the wet road. I was going around a corner at a good rate of speed thinking there was no one around. Seconds later I was in a heap on a lawn with several people offerng to help and asking if I was...

    Gi folding e-bike

    Nice but I predict a £2,500 to £3,000 price tag. Even so, people will buy it but the price won't appeal to the general ridership.
