. . . and, they were making a video for effect. I still say much of it is deceptive video. Those bits where they appear to jump in front of or around a car just inches from what appears to be a certain fate of being dragged under or running into a vehicle probably looks that way because the cyclists are moving and the cars are standing still or barely moving.
The same might be true of the close encounters with the peds.
. . . and, if they set out to make a video that they wanted (or decided) to call "how not to ride" everything was done for effect.
Obviously, I wouldn't ride in a manner that even gives the impression of what appears in this video - and, while tempting, I've yet to indulge in the distraction of riding with a video cam attached to my bike or my helmet or whatever.
They made a video - I am not going to get too worked up over it.
