Was this the one on last night. Deliberately didn't watch it, had a feelign it would anger the blood.

Good programme. Some drivers were reckless and rabid, some cyclists were reckless and did us no favours with their life-endangering antics.

Really? Whose life were they endangering? :-)

I didn't watch it either, for the same reasons as Davey.

Electric bikes are great. They give ordinary people the chance to know what it feels like to be me.

Their own (not important IMO), pedestrians and other cyclists.

I wasn't expecting much from this programme but it really was even-handed and I came away with a better understanding of why we get some grief due to the actions of others.

I hope this programme did some good in making drivers and cyclists more aware of how their actions affect other road users.
I know the way the programme was going it was trying to focus on the sensational but it was better than I was expecting.

The angry taxi driver that couldn't see that he was in the wrong even after seeing the footage wound me up. I suppose some people will never change their attitude.

The mad cyclists on a death wish deserved all they get. I've never seen such dangerous riding.

It would be interesting to see what a non cyclist thought of the programme.

For all those that missed it you can see it on BBC I Player by following the attached link

It is worth a look I think
