I Called This Antagonistic

I have never, EVER in my life seen anyone get excited about or even react to a citroen ami

This dude is gonna get hurt one of these days that’s my assessment 😂

A apathetic display and representation of a cyclist. No wonder there is so much hatred of them on the roads. Adrian makes Jeremy Vine look like Jeremy Clarkson. And he really hates cyclists!

He also uses the wrong lane of the roundabout, too.

People who underline why did you overtake me and get stopped at the lights are ironic cuckoos

You can't start taking evert bad move by a car as a personal challenge to a duel that is either won or lost. That applies to riders and drivers. Life is too short for that - and will become even shorter if you break the wrong person's biscuit!

What a bell cheddar.

Clearly a big ego dumb guy cyclist.

Hes cruising for a bruising literary not that I'm condoning he'll be cheeky with wrong person sooner or later

I was an Adrian for a while after recovering from some trauma on the roads, after enough time it got better and I can see the bigger picture in most situations. So all I will say is don’t keep going out trying to dissect everything everyone’s doing it only ends up getting you frustrated and will make you make mistakes it’s a bad ‘cycle’ to get lost in!

Adrian Chapmanlaw is a very strange cretin trying to incite hatred and violence on the roads between cyclists and motorists. He shouted at motorists to try and elicit a response. As he uploaded the video on line I think he’s broken Starmer’s ‘electronic media’ laws and should be prosecuted.

Adrian is complaining about other people doing the exact same thing he did at the start of the video! 😂

I great example of how sadly many men in this day and age have assumed a victim mentality. Somehow it manifests more in these bike vs car situations.
Particularly if you have kids, don’t get yourself injured or killed for a ‘look at me being a victim’ online video. Just get where you are going and safely back home to your family with the least amount of risk, even if occasionally it means taking a hit to the ego, better than being hit by a car.

Surely this is mental illness at this point? It's like being schizophrenic, seeing issues that don't actually exist.

Solution change your mindset to realise not everyone is out to get you and it ain’t worth the argument

I would also have been tempted to hold back where the Audi did. There were parked cars and the entrance on the left which could have been in a blind spot behind Adrian's massive ego. Once the cars were cleared and the entrance to the left was clearly visible it was less of a risk to overtake. Anyone see this risk also?

making a mountain out of a molehill, had he moved over to the left after the cars, the audi would've had been able to give him a good seperation, and I suspect that's what they intended to do. but they didn't move over to the left. why? to antagonise the car into doing something clip worthy?

5 minutes into the video 191 "You MUST NOT overtake the moving vehicle nearest the crossing or the vehicle nearest the crossing which has stopped to give way to pedestrians. That cyclist has a death wish.

Funny how he starts the vid by the "Me have car, me important", while cutting in front of traffic at a red light.
So in his mind, "me have bicycle, me important"?

The vast majority of cyclists are so far up their own arses, its a wonder more of them do not use toilet paper to wipe their mouths, and whats with the tight spandex, they have their bony arses in, is it to say a boys look at me , because you never seem to see girls riding with them.

Very well explained by Ashley I think.

When cycling I rarely filter past vehicles waiting on a red, what’s the point when they are going to pass you as soon as they can anyway.

The highway code actually states that you should let faster moving traffic pass when safe to do so. Admittedly that didn’t translate word for word in this scenario as he hasn’t stopped faster vehicles overtaking; but by passing likely faster traffic on a red light the next obvious outcome is that they become faster moving traffic that will look to overtake.

To my eyes this is a case of must get ahead syndrome with a dose of chip on your shoulder!

Antagonistic fool cyclist

I always try to cycle to the front of the queue at lights, waiting behind cars is very bad for respiratory health given this is where all the fumes are. I don't think that what Adrian does is hypocritical or ironic for this reason. However, I also don't think what the cars do is wrong and what Adrian says to them is antagonistic.....

Love how that absolute sausage hasn't commented on this clip. Maybe because Ash has highlighted the hypocrisy of said sausage.

Tbh my own judgment would have been to sit in line at the first light, quite far back from the black nissan and left of the centre of road, pointing towards the kerb slightly. I want a primary position to show anyone coming up behind I'm there, I want an escape route in case they don't and I want to communicate to any cars behind I'm happy to be passed and I'll not be in their way.
The blue Audi, I think the reason it held back is because they knew there's a pelican crossing ahead that may turn amber any second so they hold back. My first though was that on that stretch where he has text wonder why no overtake is that as a cyclist I'd have bombed up to 6th gear on that stretch so I'd be at a speed where the car behind wouldn't be put out by me being there but he doesn't either to wind but the car or because of the pelican crossing.
Either way I'd prefer the car to overtake me if I was wanting to change lanes to turn right so I can change to the right turning lane.

Love it 😂

Agree with Ashley, and I am a cyclist and car driver.
Ex hgv 40 plus yrs before I retired.

Absolutely I commute using a bike and unfortunately have had issues with motorists over the years. However if you’re going to criticise someone for doing something stupid don’t do it yourself. Also dont antagonise other road users if you don’t want them to call you names or worse do something that puts you/them at risk. People get frustrated when stuck behind bike’s other slow moving traffic yes it can be annoying but once you get past safely make it a non event.

I think she called him a clown as well, not THE c-word.

Yeah great idea. Act like a muppet. I am sure that wont come back to haunt you. Its not like there are alot of unstable people who carry knives in this country. What a tool

There are some big bad people out there who Adrian may antaganise resulting in a bodily rearrangement.

the cars all wanted to speed to get the average from 6mph up to 6.1 mph. thats the entire issue, no one actually gets anywhere and you can tell the first car is instantly raging having lost literally zero time.

then the cars are clearly pissed at the bike for existing on the road.

the cammer is sort of right to find it funny how after no doubt, years of driving, no one has learned that you really dont go any faster than a bike in busy traffic.

your blabbing about the biker who likely find this all funny, yet the cars with 2 tonne of metal with anger issues caused by losing nothing get a pass

This bike rider is very annoying one day he will end up getting in to trouble

Its generally known as small dick syndrome. I can, i think quite rightly, that from this video i can build up a persons character, they will act like this in general life too. Always right in a debate, full of themselves. Passes judgement on all sorts of people who don't conform to his 'perfect world'.

Adrian needs counselling. 😂😂😂

My first impression was Adrian has a death wish, squeezing in at the first traffic lights 😢 and it went down hill from there.
Not once did he think have I been seen, sadly making life for other considerit cyclists worse 😢

It's almost like he's put his camera on and gone out for a cycle with the intention of finding trouble...

watched it twice with volume down and did not see hardly anything wrong..... Ashley said exactly what I thought... Nothing wrong and he's obviously trying to get viewings..... Excellent channel Ashley... Keep it going!

Why cyclists get a bad name.

Adrian's clearly a first class plonker.

As an American biker, I believe you can't act improperly then expect others to be nice

Deluded cyclists 😂, cyclists should take lessons, or some sort of identification system.
It's because they can't be identified, they behave like little Hitlers.

Don't be like Adrian. Adrian is a bell end

Typically antagonistic attitude of a sadly growing breed of cyclists who are filling up Police time by reporting perfectly legal driving by others.

I Drive and Cycle, I have also been a motorcyclist (mid-way in terms of vulnerability but competitive with speed/acceleration). Absolutely agree with this analysis. Being an a$$hole on a bicycle is going to draw hostility. Starting out with contempt for all other vehicles is a recipe for becoming a statistic.
Filtering through stationary queues is legal (but not legal to then pass the red light which cyclists do ALL the time) but not always advisable, particularly if the cyclist subsequently holds up the whole queue of traffic who also just want to get through the lights.
Personally I would filter on the left, space permitting (unless intending to turn right), and even then I would rather take my place in the queue.
Cyclists have an equal right to use roads and should take proper position (where a car driver would be positioned) where safety demands it, but should also recognise that they present a blockage to efficient traffic flow and should therefore be considerate and give way to faster vehicles where possible and reasonable.
Whilst cyclists have an equal right to use the road, they should also consider that they do not PAY road tax or INSURANCE for that privilege where the rest of us DO pay, at least in part, to provide the roads that cyclists then use.
Finally, cyclists should ALWAYS be cognisant that they are extremely vulnerable to (head) injury and death on any road carrying motor vehicles and no amount of righteous indignation or contempt will bring you back to life after being crushed into a mincemeat grease-spot by a motorist with 'red mist'.
You need motorists to be on your side, looking out for you, not competing with and angering them.

Adrian - read the comments, understand what you’re doing wrong, then be better.

"waste of petrol" Bro... they aren't driving your car. They can use their petrol how they want to.

Adrian is a dick, but the worse thing is he thinks he is right, so will never learn from any mistakes.
