Someone with that level of cycling skill shouldn't be anywhere near a road.

Using this as a kind of default cycling thread;

Cyclist 100% at fault. Comments have not gone the way he was thinking so hes turned off commenting.

Some people genuinely seem to have really slow reactions. If I were the cyclist I wouldn’t think twice about that or even care, I could see how it would maybe startle a really old wobbly person but yeah either the cyclist just isn’t paying enough attention or they’re closely related to a sloth.

Damn that cyclist doesn’t have much road sense. Very clearly hazardous to undertake the truck without caution

I'm sure his reactions are fine, but he was already thinking about his exciting tweeting opportunity and needed to make it theatrical enough to really getting the Internet frothing!

Nice bit of casual cunting but I thought he was going to break into this;



His vid needs editing to make it so.

Are you saying he won't be invited to Jeremy Vines lycra shorts pool party?

I'm saying he probably will be!

Oof, that’s a very bad day.

and time doesn't seem to fit the crime (yes, I know, guidelines).

Bloody cyclists, he could have easily lost an undertray or dented an exhaust.

The cyclist clearly didn't have any awareness or road skills to anticipate that, terrible riding.

JK. That's pretty horrific, how on earth did the driver not see the cyclist in front of him?!? Even when hammered my eyes still work. I can understand that judgement might be off when drunk, but that's a case of not even looking where he's driivng.

Just another cyclist trying to create 'situations' for views on their YT channel.

I don't really get cycling on public roads. If it's your only means of transport, fine, but the lycra-clad leisure riders, I don't understand it.

Does it not feel fucking terrifying? Riding along a main road that's full of potholes and broken up tarmac, HGV's passing, incompetent drivers, getting a face full of diesel fumes.. doesn't sound like fun!

Public roads or main roads Alex? I ride on lanes a lot but avoid main roads or busy roads for exactly the reasons you say.
