Thread: Kamikaze cycling in Bangkok - Video

This nutter's days are numbered riding like this, must be a rush though.
7 min video

Very impressive but very frightening and I wonder if he has mirrors or feels invincible.

Useful way to identify the driver fleeing the scene

..I was waiting for a car door to open or a spoilt hi-so kid to plough into him

I think the Pro Cam makes it look scarier than it is. The guy is obviously an experienced cyclist. But I don't think he's in any danger due to the slowness of traffic. If you ever watch a playback of your own Dash-cam in heavy traffic it will seem faster than what your really traveling. The same applies to the spaces between vehicles. They look much closer than they really are.

I agree with Chitty

Never assume you know someone by a video.

I actually can't stand most cyclists as they think they have the God given right to rule the road. I know the score on the roads here but I don't consider myself a 'know it all' cyclist. In Bangkok, the bigger your vehicle, the more right of way you have, so I am very aware my place in the Bangkok traffic food chain!

Thanks for posting my video Chitty, and thanks to whoever posted the link!

I made a load more videos but the editing was a bit time consuming, but you are all right, I did get knocked off eventually (by a police car!) 😂 Unfortunately the cam had ran out of battery so no footage of it.

Hope you have a solid Insurance policy mate.

Just sayin like.

Probably should take one out to be fair!
I'm out of action for a while anyway due to a broken leg (Drinking not cycling).

You do know that if you get run over and have no Insurance no one will give a flying fuk .

Least of all, other Ex-Pats.

Good video mate.

How about tackling an expressway?

It appears like you ride like one.

But fair point.

No insurance ? Your not a Engglish teacher, are you?

Would have liked to see that video and the Thai police explanation.

Hope you was not hurt to bad. You should post a few more off your videos up here, as there's a lot of keen cyclists on this forum.

We've just had one member cycle from Lands End to John O'Groats and there's a Teakdoor North to South Thailand members cycle ride planned at some point in the future.
Gotta go, stay safe.

I agree, after viewing some off the meals on the dinner thread
