I don't think the cyclist is in the wrong here. I mean, I usually stay a few more feet into the lane, but I don't see why we would blame him for anything, really. I mostly agree with B. Carfree.

I think this video is great for motorists to see, but bad for cycling noobs to see, because it could scare them off of the road. However, if I was a motorist in Milwaulkee and knew someone could be video-taping me every time I pass a cyclists, I'd certainly be more aware of my actions.

Also, assuming he got hit (and the camera survived), the driver would actually be prosecuted instead of ignored or slapped on the hand.
