When will #cyclists realise they cannot pass pedestrians millimetres away at 30km an hour?
Not only is it highly dangerous, but it’s absolutely terrifying for the victim. I am still shaking.

A bit long for here so I put it on my journal [§2024-08-21 @08:52 +0200]
Wow, potential Streisand effect for this company, how much thought did they put into this? #cycling #closepass https://road.cc/content/news/cyclist-threatened-with-legal-action-over-close-pass-clip-305935
I really do try to believe that most* drivers aren't careless about the lives of others, but rather clueless. That's why I put together videos from my handlebar camera to show, from a bicyclist's perspective, what their driving looks and feels like.
The video here is a sample of dangerous--egregiously dangerous--overtakes by motorists over the course of a year.

@escapist @verkehrswende Gestern innerhalb von 2 Minuten einmal #ClosePass (<50cm) bei Gegenverkehr und bewusster #PunishmentPass (<50 cm ohne Gegenverkehr) mit anschließendem Ausbremsen, Beschimpfen und Beleidigen...
Ich weiß einfach nicht, was in den Köpfen dieser Menschen vor sich geht. Was müssen die kompensieren?

This looks really poor. We need to have confidence that police forces are treating incidents with the seriousness they deserve. 213/286 (74%) reports resulting in no further action does not do that, and suggests undue leniency from #WMPolice.

North #Sheffield deliveries of #coffee completed by #bike today. Didn’t travel much by #bicycle in December partly because of weather but also because before that had too many close passes so opted for car.
Was fun #cycling today however & what I needed to get back into it. One #closepass that didn’t get on camera unfortunately but most of this route was off main roads so that helps. We will aim to #cycle when we can this year.
Fair play to West Mercia Police, I submitted this video of a #ClosePass at 12:25 and 48 minutes later received confirmation that they will be taking action against the driver.
