To demonstrate "Confident City Cycling" first you need to go to a "City"? 
That was one of the longest hours of my life. Was Troy McClure not available for the voiceover?
This is how you make an interesting public information film.

That city's traffic reminds me of NYC, except with 8,000,000 less people.

Quit watching at about the 1:40 marke when the guy says that while making a left hand turn he "makes eye contact" with a driver on the right to "make sure the driver would not pull out". As a former motorcycle rider I can promise you that eye contact means nothing. All it means is that the driver is looking in your general direction. It DOES NOT mean the driver actually sees you.
The best piece of advice while riding is to ride like you are invisible.
