captf Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Remember my cyclist video?I had ITN contact me recently asking to use it. Sure, says I, as long as you preface it with the story as I know it, rather than present it just as a cyclist running a red.OK, says them. Flash forward.*Briiiiiing briiiiing*"Hello...?""Hi! ITN here, we wanna actually interview you for the TV show" Eep. 1
slice Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Good for you mate, don't forget to mention the YOC and how we are such a great bunch of people Ha Ha Ha. 2
captf Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 Had the interview today, and actually met the cyclist.He's quite a nice fellow actually. Had a bit of a joke with him, regarding motorists generally trying to kill us all.But, in about 6 months, you'll likely get to see my ugly mug on the TV!
vayduh Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Nice outcome - everyone having a laugh. Just how it should be. Congrats on your 15 mins!
blackhat250 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Good "o Capt... what program ?.....and wheres you been hiding ,,,
captf Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 Good "o Capt... what program ?.....and wheres you been hiding ,,, I've been commenting occasionally - never left - just not often (: It'll be on ITV in ~6 months, they say. An episode of Caught on Camera. Nice outcome - everyone having a laugh. Just how it should be. Congrats on your 15 mins! We joked about how many bikers see cyclists as "just needing to see the light", and how cyclists see us as also "just needing to see the light"Also going on about the common dangers we have on the road. That sort of thing 1

captf Posted August 20, 2015 Author Posted August 20, 2015 Ah, but you've already had the privilege of meeting me face to face! ...Or should that be the misery? (:
jimmy Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Lets not forget he was a tit who jumped a red light. 2
Moderator drewpy Posted August 20, 2015 Moderator Posted August 20, 2015 Ah, but you've already had the privilege of meeting me face to face! ...Or should that be the misery? (: aye, you not been out for a ride with us yet, what's the craic?
blackhat250 Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 You going to Squires meet Capt " ? and yeh , the tit jibe , gulp, how did that go down,,,,,,
Noise Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Good on you Capt, looking forward to watching it!Did he say why he didn't see the big red bus or was it actually brake failure?
captf Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 aye, you not been out for a ride with us yet, what's the craic? I always feel bad about it, but I realised that I prefer solo rides. Whenever I've been out with others, I tend to focus too much on them and stop riding for myself. [and paying attention to the road properly] I'm a selfish bugger... You going to Squires meet Capt " ? Unfortunately not. My birthday's around then, and I've got a night out on the Saturday, where I shall be getting shitfaced. Lets not forget he was a tit who jumped a red light. and yeh , the tit jibe , gulp, how did that go down,,,,,, Did he say why he didn't see the big red bus or was it actually brake failure? He showed me the brake lever. The hole for the cable had effectively become a razor edge, causing the the cable to fray and eventually snap.He was trying to beat the amber [he was pelting it along due to being late for a meeting], and was using the taxi as a guide on whether he had enough time. At the last moment he realised it had jumped the red. Slammed on his brake, and it failed.With no knowledge of what was behind him, and peds filling the pavement beside him, he had nowhere to go.
