Yup, I was there and I can't understand how he did it.........
lol its as if he turns towards ya car?!?!
The rider said he tried to swerve to avoid a manhole cover, there was a manhole cover there you can see it in the bottom right of the screen as I approach the give way line but I still struggle to work out how he did what he did.
At least he wasn't seriously injured, just a few bruises and the car was repaired quickly. So all good!

If your on twitter send that one to Jeremy Vine, he's all for tweeting footage 'rightly' when motorists are arses around cyclists, but for balance it would be good to share that the opposite is true too. Plenty of arses on bikes.

I do a lot of cycling and it pi$$es me off the amount of **** heads on bikes. Gives us a bad name!!!
They seem to think its ok to go through red lights which is what really annoys me.
They wouldnt think they're that clever when someone goes through a red light and ploughs into them
at the cyclist and a silly mistake and glad you got it sorted Here is mine fitted to whoever it was that asked to see some in the car...
Almost invisible really and I cant see it at all from the drivers seat.
The 500 has a silver part on the mount, so I wrapped it in a bit of black vinyl and hides it better now
Very tidy fit, I like it
It'd be interesting to see if a feed can be taken from the front-facing assist camera, that would be a very neat solution.

How did your claim get settled, did the cyclist have to pay out himself or did you use your own insurer? Just curious as he obviously doesnt have a policy to claim from like a car.
Also must say your video has encouraged me to get a dash cam however I have only ordered a budget one.
It is the g1w camera, apparently one of the top sellers due to being so cheap but still providing decent video quality. I know you pay for what you get but this will do what I need it too without braking the bank.
You can tell that from a video?
3rd party insurance for cyclists is far more common than you'd imagine
Should be mandatory for cyclists using public roads (where cars and pedestrians frequent). Either that, or be prepared to pay costs for at fault accidents.

The cyclist turned out to be a genuine bloke and paid for the damage himself so I managed to keep my insurance out of it and my no claims is intact.
As Mork says though a lot of cyclists do take out insurance now, you can have a years cover for around £20.
It's your civil right to sue anyone for a cost/damage... Like if you walked into a cyclist riding a bike, he could sue you for damages
Some Home insurance, CTC, BC all cover cyclists. Probably worth some checking before making 'obvious' statements
You probably find more by value, cyclists are damaged by uninsured cars than uninsured cyclists damaging cars

Thank you four your comments.
What's your point here, exactly? My point is anyone using the public highway, be it buses, cars, motorcyclists, cyclists or Sinclair c5 drivers should be insured. Motor vehicles are legally required to be insured, so should cyclists.
Uninsured car drivers versus uninsured cyclists or the level of damage they may, or may not cause is irrelevant. Whether household insurance might cover someone on a pushbike is an area I have no intention of researching, thanks very much. So you can file your 'obvious statement' comment along side your household pushbike insurance certificate!
Road users should be treated equally, tax and insurance obligations included.

Sounds like you were lucky there, knowing my luck I would get Mr difficult or someone unemployed who can't afford to pay. Either way at least you had all the evidence you needed should it ever have gone to court.
For anyone wanting a cheap dashcam, I have just ordered a G1W after reading and watching several reviews, however didnt see the mobius action cam before doing so.
Having watched a few comparisons now mobius does seem to have slightly better picture quality and also the sound quality is noticeably better, however the g1w is still good for the money especially as it is nearly £15-20 cheaper and will do the job its intended for.
Möbius around £48 + 12 for memory card
G1W around £32 + 12 for memory card
Mini 801 around £51 + 12 for memory card
Check these out and see what you think?

Would highly recomend the mobius. I have one that I use on the motorbike and the picture quality is fantastic. FULL HD.

I had quite a serious accident on a bike a few years ago, thousands of pounds of damage to the car I hit. All covered by our home insurance policy.
