Lots of idiots on bike in this volume, and a very close call between a car using the bus lane, and a cyclist who was spooked by the close pass!

There is a lot of impatience in this video. A hell of a lot. Things are returning to normal and people are expecting to move around the same as they have been for the last few months and it's not happening.
Enough with the rambling, enjoy the video!
Only 4 days worth so a bit shorter than normal. No shortage of cockwombles though!
I have a new camera. Finally splashed out on a GoPro Hero 8 Black. Excellent camera but no way to add timestamps. Let me know what you think :)
Things seem to follow themes in these videos; I don't know why, but this volume's theme is the return of the paint scrapers.
There's always the overriding theme of impatience. I think if people were more patient on the roads I'd have very little to show.
With a pandemic lockdown in process I wasn't expecting much this time, but I was wrong, I got plenty, especially on the last day!
Things I've noticed:
5G construction is essential but completing roadworks that affect safety isn't.
Normal traffic lights mean nothing.
Speed limits are optional.
Acting like a cockwomble still applies in light traffic.
Social separation of 2m doesn't apply.
Anyway, this is my first whole video with the new camera and finding space to fit everything on the bike was a chore, as I now also have a Garmin cycle computer. The first few clips are not level as I play about to find the best configuration. I think I have it now ;)
Leading up to Christmas, the idiots were on form. Here's a rather long collection of clips, which have been delayed due to not being in any frame of mind for the task of putting it all together.

A lot of impatience rears its ugly head in this video, and a new (to me) danger is becoming apparent: corner cutters in the small hours!
One clip here stands out as a bit unusual for me, and relates to the recent news regarding the BBC license fee. I'd hate to think how much of this they're wasting on that active display advertising their most popular programme!
Any road up, on with the show. Enjoy!
