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.

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

It was a good programme.

As Duffield would say, "Get Grannie out of the room and cover the budgie"
