That said I imagine untli reality 'hits' (pardon the pun) it might be exciting and fun. I think I will stick to my more sedate and, possibly, less confident style thaks.
Still, good entertainment factor video.

Im with Dicky on this one.
I used to ride like this every day through the rush hour traffic to work in salford and could do the trip that used to take an hour in a car in 12 minutes on my bike.
Then one morning I was following another rider who I used to see regularly and he got it wrong. Thankfully for him it wasnt fatal, THIS TIME!
If youre late for work youre late, sh#t happens.
Riding like this with such narrow margins for error will end in tears, its not if, but when.
Once witnessed it will change your mind.
