A video that really annoyed me.

Well when your insurance goes up because you're paying for idiots like these who get hit by cars, it will all add to your debt...but on the upside when they get wiped out there will be more seat clamps going on ebay from the mangled wrecks of whats left of their bikes.

Off topic, but it's more to do with insurance companies trying to shaft each other, by inflating costs to both increase their revenues, and shaft the competition....

No doubt. The ambulance chasing insurance mentality is a joke, but unfortunately it exists. The whole insurance company industry needs a good slapping because its ridiculous, when the EU told them they had to charge the same for women and men...they just jacked up the womens premiums to the same rate as men? how does that make sense.

hmmm perhaps i can interest you in some written off fixie fashion wear then? only light road/gravel damage and some blood staining.

What a bunch of selfish wankers :? Any injuries caused to pedestrians should result in the cyclist being charged and imprisoned.Early on we see a twat clip a wingmirror.Know the cost of replacements? Damn sure if a car driving normally cliped a bike and damaged it in anyway the rider would be right in demanding it be repaired at the drivers cost,that guy just kept on going ,he doesnt care.
The attitude seems to suggest .Im a road user too so get out of my fukcing way.

OOOh im so mad about this :evil:

It's nothing that kids haven't been doing for years, but most grow out of it. I think most of them are trying to live up to this urban sub-culture thing around messengers to add a bit of glamour to what is probably a low paid job.

The only thing that annoys me is the poor editing, but then it is a trailer, not the full film.

It isn't a job! Email has killed off most of the work cycle messengers could do. They are trying to be cool.

In a rare event, when I was watching TV at my dad's house a few weeks ago, Danny Baker came out with a rant that was so spot on I had to look it up. Apt here, so I am posting it up.

iThe concept of cool is, without doubt, the most specious, spineless, worthless affectation in the entire wide, wide world of masculine horse-dung. Cool - and its stupid rules – perfectly sum up a humourless, vacuous, pompous lack of genuine experience in males and sounds the death knell on true emotion. Cool is Juvenalia. Cool is arrested development. Cool is for small people with their noses eternally pressed up against the rear window of achievement – they are dead, impotently grading everything in tiny detail, from shoes to the moon landing, in a flailing effort to project an iota of genuine personality and self-worth.

If anyone does have a serious issue with couriers I suggest you get to Edinburgh this weekend. The combination of fixie narrow tyre bikes and wet cobbles is a dodgy one.

It's currently pouring with rain and there are loads of them here now.

On a side issue I had a serious go at a cyclist a couple of mornings ago as he cut through a pedestrian crossing with lots of people crossing in the morning rush hour. He then responded by telling me I was a **** who wouldn't have a clue how to ride a bike.

God bless Baker. The master Baker is spot on on so many topics, truly one of our greatest social commentators. He is damn cool.
