OH, c'mon Alex. Had he hammered harder out of the gate, taken a smoother line over to the middle of the road, hammered harder there and pedaled instead of skidded there at the end he would've had a HUGE gap between the double-decker and the Nissan Pick em up Truck.

Might be an equipment problem. His cadence was pretty slow the whole time. One more tooth on the cog might have helped.

Hmmm.
The most dangerous thing in London? A black cab without a fare.
The 'bravest' commuters in London? Fixed gear courier riders.

Oh, come on! Can't you all see that the video is fake? People don't react when something happens to a cyclist...

Ouch thought for sure he bit the dust! Sure he will be a bit more cautious in the future!
