This took place on the Thames embankment between Chelsea and Lambeth Bridge. It's a fast open stretch with a cycle super highway (the blue cycle lane).

The GoPro makes it look faster than it is, top speeds here are approximately 20 to 25mph. The speed limit on the road is 30mph and you can see cars passing at that speed.

My cycle to work is my daily exercise. I cycle at a speed that is comfortable but makes me work hard. If that speed is faster than the cyclist in front then I'll pass (if I can), if it's slower than the cyclist behind then they will pass me.

This is obviously my side of it, they other chap would no doubt have a different opinion.

The video illustrates that there can often be a bit of conflict when cycling in London. I try not to argue with people on the whole, it's better to let it go whether you're right or wrong. I don't always follow my own advice...;o)
