A London cyclist films near misses on the capital's roads as Boris Johnson vows to improve cycle safety at junctions.
A cyclist from Croydon has become a hit on YouTube for his videos that document London's roads from a two-wheeled perspective.
Gareth Williams, alias CycleGaz, gets tens of thousands of hits for his videos that show incidents both of dangerous driving and cycling.
Using a camera fixed to his cycle helmet, Mr Williams records his altercations with drivers.
He told the Telegraph, "As a road user in all forms -- I drive a car as well, I walk -- I'm interested in road safety and I think anything I can do to educate people or highlight issues I see as positive."
Earlier this week the Mayor of London vowed to make 33 of London's junctions safer following the deaths of six cyclists in a fortnight.
"The cycling revolution will continue," Boris Johnson said whilst addressing a cycling safety conference in London.
"This is not the time to slacken off or give up because if we get this right, the prize is huge. London should be in many ways a perfect city to ride a bike."
