------------------------------
life on britain's roads can now be seen from a whole new perspective - thanks to the cycle helmet
camera. as thirty four million vehicles and thirteen million bikes all try to share the same crowded space,
this footage gives us a dramatic and unique insight into the unfolding tension and conflict.
from everyday incidents that get out of hand between cyclists and motorists, to stories of near-death
experiences and fatal collisions, this timely documentary shows the battle between two wheels and four
has never been so intense.
the programme shows both sides of the story, retelling dramatic incidents from both the cyclist's and
driver's point of view. it follows the police on bikes as they chase down errant road users and record
more than three thousand offences every year from car and bike users alike. we even see a cyclist who
is attempting to police the roads himself, handing out his own 'tickets' for anything from texting behind the
wheel, to jumping a red light.
a mother who lost her cyclist daughter in a fatal collision with a cement mixer tells us the extraordinary
story of what she did to change cycle safety on our roads, while a black cab driver's own loss changed
his opinion about cyclists forever.
