This works so well for the cyclist because all those car drivers are behaving really well. It only takes one daft driver to open his car door at the wrong moment, and the cyclist's day is ruined. If the cyclist repeats that mode of cycling daily, sooner or later he'll unfortunately meet his nemesis. |

If a person drives at 70mph on a motorway, sooner or later he'll unfortunately meet his nemesis. It's the way things work. The usual idea amongst the cycle ignorati is that he is bound to be going flat out, head down and any pedestrian walking across between the vehicles will have a bad day. |

There's no question it's quick, and I used to do it all the time when I was a yoof. It's just that watching that video highlights the risks I used to take without caring or even being aware of it. It's odd that we get more cautious as we get older, when of course we have less to lose! |

Most of the time he was between or to the right of the motor traffic where dooring in very unlikely. Passing parked cars is the most likely time to get doored. It's odd that we get more cautious as we get older, when of course we have less to lose! It's more a case of being increasingly aware of you own mortality. You still lose your only life no matter what age it happens. |
