More difficult than NY here in the UK. Peds can legally jaywalk and do often from behind parked cars like in 23:03. Many car drivers don't like cyclists - seem to blame them for congestion which is odd.
that shitty channel 5 “””documentary””” (you know the one) featured some cunt in a Range Rover complaining about not being able to pass cyclists stupidly close whenever they slightly inconvenience him and then blurting out the absolutely glorious line “there’s a limit to the number of cyclists that can fit on the roads!” Never gets old, honestly
@@jonathansnell876 did you ever get fined? I've been running reds often but only 1 time I was pulled over in central when I sped past the driver side window of a police car waiting at a red (it was 100% safe the pedestrians had a green light and there were no pedestrians lmao). they only told me off though but scared the fuck out of me with the beep, he must have punched the horn.
the difference in bike culture is so clear here. all the NYC vids are flowing from start to finish, running red lights, changing lanes and directions to flow with the traffic. cycling in the UK for about 4 seconds and you get trapped behind a coach!!! haha
NYC riders probably think they're best/the fastest but yeah, being fast is easy when the streets are 3 lanes each side and everything flows. Nothing flows here. Drivers freak out at the first sight of a cyclist. You can't always run a light, the margin for error is so small with the small streets, everything is unpredictable. And this is in London, you should see other cities
did you see Matt stop for a single red light? These are not not repetitive, boring junctions... way more technical. Ride into a crossroads with no brakes and force oncoming traffic to skid to a halt to avoid you? Such "skill" Haha....
With Safa in Mexico, one of my favorite rides of your's Terry. London is a crazy busy town. The small streets increase the feeling of speed, but Matts is going damn fast too. Love that one.
I've cycled these streets for 6 years and live in central London, but have to admit technology gives you a better (wider) view than IRL. Damn. Especially on the bridges!!!
What bike does he have? I would love a short bike check before the rides like youve done with Ana in mexico city for example! Everyone gets a little hard seeing others babies
The Orwellian Dystopia in Twilight. Cheers Terry. Matt Spreading Light and Hope in The Gloom. Marvelous! Terry, please assemble an International All-Star Team and unleash them in the canyons of NYC. They’ll HAVE all that Space - Rain OR Shine.
I gotta say I love these vids. Being way older I can see the excitement of track bikes but I started on a regular bike bc I need a break from peddling time to time and I lost 65 pounds. Then I got an electric bike to take some of the suck out of biking and I thought I was hooked. I planned on buying a van, loading it up w a bike and just going everywhere to explore. I hate to report that the coppers killed that dream. I was issued 2 $500.00 tickets by those muppets. My bike is peddle assisted. Meaning if u don’t peddling, it doesn’t help. No throttle at all. I never had to pay those tickets and I knew I didn’t have to. I just hate dealing w idiots of which the United States police force is among the dumbest group of individuals I have ever met. I got the van! I also have 2 one wheels and 2 gotway electric unicycles. I love them. I could never keep up w u guys on a track bike but I could on my gotway. Enjoy your lives guys!
Great vid! Riding London is so different from NYC. Obviously with no grid system you really need to get the experience to be able to navigate well. The small winding streets in the east of the city make for very interesting riding
Ooooh God ... I think I sweated like you in those narrow streets and full of people I got tense 😂😂😂... I always enjoy your videos but in London I enjoy them double 👍👍👍
@@2ears1mouth786 voing round corners if you pick a line youcan gain or loose a lot , if driving you can leave turning into a bend very late, or wide, until you think you missed it then turn , youd be surprised how you fly round the corner much easier , it feels odd but you actually straighten the bend out , try it , incrementally
Daaang I can feel the adrenaline running through my veins. I do not know if I could drive like this in mexico, because people in cars drive worst hahaha. Amazing videos!
This is strangely inspiring I just don't have the confidence to ride like that because too many careless drivers and people just stepping out inbetween parked vehicles
@@TerryB heh, it was really immersive experience on my 34 inch curved panel ;) dat mood of narrow London streets..mmm..just awesome, please do more like that!)
I ride a fair bit but not as much as someone who makes a living but twice my front brake has stopped me from crushing a small child who jumped out in to the road without warning. Wouldnt you be faster overall knowing you can stop faster anyway?
@@josequilez5449 wrong go back to school. on one occasion i stood it on its front wheel with the toddler cm away from it. A rear wheel skid on the other hand no way jose. Its not just me that disagrees with you its physics. The look in the Dads eyes said it all.Never had a cable failed when needed on me and luckily for the child and family it didnt that time either. Choice is yours naturaly. If the biker were mechanicaly inept or otherwise unable to maintain their brake system then your point would have some validity.
The point is, on brakeless you're not supposed to stop, you avoid. It's all about control. That's what it trains you to do. If you hit the brake, you would hit the child 100%. On fixed you'd avoid it completely
@@TheJs12347777 so if you had enough time to react and pull the brake and actually stop, then us on brakeless only need half that time to avoid the child completely. But you wouldn't understand
Really surprised how quiet the streets are for this. When i was there during rush hour, i'd never been so overcome by crowds of aggressive rule-abiding cyclists! (like waiting at london bridge, HAH) also: WAY more vehicle traffic!! Was this a Sunday or something? Smooth sailing, i'd expect nothing less from Sir Matt
@@balkanhooper by 'it' I mean this culture and style of riding. If you've never experienced this, you just won't be able to understand. It's all in the perspective mate
You're riding through so much history. A lot of these roads were built by the Romans. Then later in the victorian times. That's why they are so narrow. Made for horse and cart.
Usually by crossings, meaning if you park there it's dangerous. Your blocking the view to cross safe for pedestrians. Certain vehicles can get away with parking on yellows for a short period. Delivery drivers ect. There is absolutely no stopping anywhere near the jagged lines.
@Stevie Blue We have single yellows, don't park at certain times. Double yellow, never park there unless your unloading or dropping someone off. Single red no unloading no nothing unless at sign posted times. Double red no parking at all. Usually you only see the reds in London as traffic is so busy. No over taking on the zig zag lines either. We have no jay walking laws either.
That’s the fastest tour of London I’ve ever been on.
I'm on a binge of your videos are they're both terrifying and relaxing at the same time!
Appreciate it Rupert.
@@TerryB This captured with go pro 8?
Incredible handling, particularly given this weather. I'd have slipped 10 times with such cornering
Normal weather for us lol

It's all love!
It's a courier thing :)
cycling in london is rough
I commute, it must be different during the day!
Didn't see that comming. How cool is that :D
I love the bit at the start in Southwark - shows a bit of real London!

The police will 100% pull you over if you do absolutely anything wrong too... Happened to me many a time.

That’s real London!

I like the color grading a lot for some reason, best go pro footage I've seen
camera couldn't quite handle our gloomy london weather at times haha
Noone can, noone... XD
I have to max out my screen brightness to enjoy it
thats bc he keeps it at 400 iso so the sensor wont pick up as much with low light... just to keep the noise/grain on the final product
I personally love it
Kinda vibe
@@3-y86 lol worked friday, got soaked and dried out 3 times and got a flat

Glad you enjoyed it
I love thw London traffic esthetic. The very visible fluorescent clothing/jackets and attention for displaying a visible safe environment.
You couldn't have had a better tour guide... Matt Rucola represtenting London couriers, with a lovely scenic tour. :) Yes bruv!

Yo that footage is stunning, what’s that filmed on? Surly not brave enough to ride about with a dslr on your head but looks like the quality of one.
i believe it’s a goPro. they’ve come a long way. all you need is to color grade and it automatically makes it looks like something out of a movie.
Awesome bruv lol
What speed ?
How is this filmed? The camera can’t be on your head as it’s stable. Is it connected to your body in some way and goes above your head?
