Unless I can see without a doubt that there are no other vehicles around, not a chance. The penalty is too high. I also look behind me before swinging out to apex even within my lane, because it's entirely possible a quiet vehicle or other cyclist is passing me.

I didn't rule it out just for that. I said the style and content isn't the same which was pooh-poohed by claiming that he must be trying to disguise it. Now he supposedly varied it to get around being recognized, but he kept the similar name to taunt us? How does that remotely make sense?
The identity from the fellow from Qwaa was never in doubt, however, there was no pro operating there. Our cubed friend wouldn't be able to disguise his writing style.

Do you really want to take the chance? Look what happened to this guy. He starts making bad decisions. Gets the law on his tail and pays for it. Don't be that rider. You fight the law, and the law will win.

I imagine my eyes would be bugging out like that too if I was face to face with a semi and no chance to swerve. I also imagine that my large intestine would probably also be instantly vacated.

Where does GCN film anyway.?. Always thought it was in the UK, but they're driving on the right side of the road.

It is dangerous. In law enforcement I investigated a lot of accidents involving cyclists, some required snow shovels to collect the remains of the victims.
