Yes just watched it. I've seen it from both sides as I am/was a motorbiker, a cyclist and a driver. Makes me want a helmet cam :)

watched nearly all of that,
mixed emotions, been on both sides of the fence.
Also never used to wear a helmet, often tearing through pedestrians, a bit like those couriers :o
Dont worry I dont do that now, far to lazy :wink:

I always wanted to be a City Bike Courier. It looked like a awesome job, mixing extreme sports and getting paid for it.

As other say, I'm both, I ride into work daily when Im on a monthly rotation which invovles just office work every 3months. The other months I drive.

Been cycling to work since losing my BRM in may and I tell you what, being a cyclist is scary on the roads. One of the roundabouts I have to negotiate on my commute is a bus route into a bypass,and a dual into shopping parc. Its bloody scary most days !!! Almost had a woman in a ka take me out there recently and It has made me want to document my commute with camera:lol:
