  • wow, riding in a pace line with aero bars and overlapping wheels.... plus not rotating correctly. He's lucky.

  • This doesn't make much sense. He ended up doing to himself. He seemed like he came out of the wobble alright at :44. Im sure if he would of kept going ON THE ROAD he would of been fine. Fucked up for stopping, it was only a wobble. Should of just kept at it.

  • NOPE HE TOOK HIS RIGHT HAND OF THE BARS

  • why didnt he brake ??

  • This is why you should not paceline ride while using the aero-bars. You just can't get to the brakes fast enough to avoid such an accident. 

  • Always the responsibility of the following cyclist to not get close enough so that a change in direction would casuse wheel-wheel contact. And before you say he should've looked (ignorantly) what if the cyclist in front had been avoiding another hazard, like a child had been in the road? Even in a car I'd rather risk clipping my rear nearside as opposed to running someone over. Cycling should really have a test (said from the POV of someone who cycles into work every day the weather permits).

  • dont use aerobar when you are in line ur stupid

  • With cycling you know it is a waiting game. You will fall. How , when or what is always a suprise. All you need is 1 second less focus, a littlebit of sand, and there you go. It will hurt. That's why cycling is one of the toughest sports ever.

  • @JordiSmulders Just make sure you're wearing a helmet.

  • this video shows the worst mistakes on a bike - overlapping wheels, braking, and using the rear brake.

  • Comment removed

  • nice save but that tri geek is a tool that i would never ride with after this

  • Ca't sit on someone's wheel on the aerobars. It's asking for trouble. Bad luck though.

  • why didnt he fall? i wished he did.

  • tee hee, schadenfreude

  • Is it wrong that I laughed? Glad he was relatively unhurt.

  • ha ha ha

  • What bike was it? It looked like it handled the wobble ok, but something else was wrong with the bike (spokes?) I don't understand why the bike collided with the rear axle of the next, but hope you all are ok. Good luck.

  • Loll! Thats why you don't cross wheels and dont ride TT bars in a group. Plus the guy has the reflexes of a grandma.

  • It was the guy's own fault, he rode straight into the ass end of the other guy because he was in aero position and couldn't brake.

  • Hey Billy did you remember to tighten the hub?...tighten? what for....

  • @FuckTheLawNiggas

    Yawn.

    Yes, you would know? because you were there right? No, you weren't. You were at home sitting on your arse abusing people on Youtube from the safety of your couch.

    If you or any of the other abusive doubters actually own a road bike, get on it and spin in the 53/11, like the guys in the video are, and tell us how fast you go. Assuming you can ride a bike and are fit enough to get to that speed.

  • @BondMeisterbond sorry go back to your sunday rides you streak of piss

  • @FuckTheLawNiggas

    It was a Tuesday

    

  • No reason to be in the aero bars when in a pace line. Dipshits.

  • The kook second in line caused it. Love the endo at the end. Grab some more front brake dipshit.

  • @SkullLikeASecret

    Actually only inertia was keeping the front wheel from losing its form, which is exactly what happened when he slowed down, folding over and locking onto the brakes. No front brake applied.

    (You'll find "inertia" in the dictionary after "inert" - what people who sit around all day surfing the web and posting abusive comments generally are).

  • @BondMeisterbond Doesn't look from the video that the wheel folded over dipshit.

  • @BondMeisterbond This isn't a hate comment, but I thought inertia was when an object which is still required effort to be moved, eg, the house is inert when you run into it, because the force wasn't enough to overcome friction. please correct me if im wrong.

    Nice video, felt sorry for the guy though...

  • @ArcaneGear Momentum is the tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion. inertia is resistance to motion of a stationary mass. 

  • @ArcaneGear I believe (or at least I used it in the sense of) inertia is an object's resistence to change - either from a constant moving state or, like you said, from rest.

  • @BondMeisterbond Inertia is the force from an object that was already moving, to keep goin in that movement, in other words to keep doing what it was already doing,

  • @elinfiernoentusojos it also is what mantains an inert object, in that position, "the house is inert", so is gonna keep that way..

  • @SkullLikeASecret Third wheel's fault. Couldn't stop or get out of the way because he was in aero position. Notice he goes for the hoods, presumably to slow down or at least veer left, but too late. Group riding on tt extensions is bad news bears. At best it's annoying for everyone else because your reaction times plummet. At worst it's extremely dangerous. I've seen guys hit reflective paint on a tt bike in a group ride and take out almost everyone. It's not safe.

  • @SkullLikeASecret The 3rd rider caused it by going too close ya tool. Rider FAIL

  • ale idiota ja pierdole!

  • in fairness the guy in front did swerve out a bit to make the wheels overlap not really his fault

  • y did he use the front brake at that speed, he should of used the back one, or both. he toppled over cause of that, next time, he should keep his fingers on the back brake handle

  • I can't see why he crashed at all. Even if the front wheel was damaged, the bike was stable before he decided to go mountain biking. You should never brake on a damaged front wheel (e.g. a flat tyre) because the weight transfer will probably finish it.

  • @rogerzilla Broken spoke and he had his quick release facing forward . When he came in to contact the release was opened and he was doomed !

  • Pretty good bike handling after the cross-over mistake. It made me clinch watching it.

  • i'm not a roadie, but a crosscountry cyclist. I have the feeling that that's a wrong approach on a group ride.. correct?

  • Never overlap your front wheel with someone's rear wheel. Rear wheel has the rider's weight on it and always wins. You learn this as a Cat5....I suppose that makes that dude Cat6! :)

  • number on rule when cycling in a group.. dont get your wheels crossed up haha, but this guy handled the recovery pretty well

  • oh dear.. yes and 53-11 is pretty easy.. can you do that gear from a standstill upto 40mph+?...i can buddy.. you fucking twiglet legged cunt

  • @FuckTheLawNiggas

    Lay off the crack, man. You'll pop a blood vessel

  • @BondMeisterbond lay off the long distance faggot, you look like an white Ethiopian

  • Looks like his quick release got undone by the guy in front of him, making his wheel "loose". Never ride on the tri bars in a group! Big mistake.

  • fucking pro!! Ida shat myself before dying

  • it was 18 mph by sissy riders

  • I hate when people ride in aero bars on a group ride. Especially if you can not handle a bike very well.

  • Amateurs

  • Who fn' rides in aerobars during a group ride? And who breaks with their front wheel? Man....

  • Agreed, maybe 24 but not 34 mph. Keep your hands on the controls in a group. We preach it an triathletes complain, but time trial bars are for time trials.

  • what an idiot...LOL

  • Def NOT doing 34 mph ... the center road hashes are barely moving. I could see 20 mph ... but not 34

  • @xcman1500 Fuck You, Triathletes are STRONGER BETTER and FASTER!!!

  • All that lovely soft grass to land on, and he landed on the last 2 foot of tarmac :(

  • Kids, this is why u never cross wheels, stupid crap like this happens.

  • neroda,cist brezveze se je prekucno,lah bi cevlje odpel pa se cist normalno ustavil,kr neki

  • i like how everyone gather around like

    oooOooo

  • They aren't doing a team time trial or anything...why go so near each other?

  • WoW! Close call!

  • Half wheeling and in the aerobars... 

  • The number one way to avoid accidents is to reduce your speed... that is every bit as true for bicycles as cars.

    But I suspect they understood the risk they were taking, hope he was not injured too badly

  • "almost??" More like....yes, he did crash.

  • I was going to say something about how lame this guy is, but it looks like everybody else has it covered.

  • Oh it knocked his quick release off.

    This was somewhat amusing the fact that he is still alive.

  • number one rule, don't overlap wheels...this guy violated. payed the price.

  • Why are all people on Youtube assholes, he clipped the dude in front and busted his spokes then fell off, simple. Triathletes, roadies and mtb'ers fall off like this all the time, just glad we got to see the video and had a laugh at this one! Grow up with the stupid comments!

  • @mbr54321 lol wankers man.. what can you do? :p

  • lmao. thats some funny shit. love seeing you road hogging cunts bite the big one...

  • 1) Boutique wheel, few spokes, spokes necessarily overtensioned, big gaps for things to get in between

    2) Overlapping -- by more than half a wheel

    3) Rider ahead merged left oblivious to riding in tght group

    4) Tri bars and no brake there

    5) Spokes broke against QR handle

    5) Still a good recovery

    6) Inability to steer due to unstable front wheel and to changing hand position -- heads for ditch.

    8) Attempt to brake on warped front wheel locked the wheel

  • gotta love those Bikecams

  • lol

  • See why you don't pace line in tri bars idiot. Stick to your tri bars solo and don't endanger people around you with them. Wonder why you don't see tri bars in the peloton?

  • oops front brake

  • Why did he wait so long to unclip ???

  • what actually broke in the first place?

  • freakin noob.

    more money than sense.

  • Errm...back brake?

  • Good thing he had that skid lid on

  • seriously cowboy bike handling.

  • it baffles me why people would ride in groups with aerobars on....you wont have any control with tri bikes when sudden situations like that arise

  • Everything always looks slower when filmed. When you are sitting in a chair watching something with no sensation of the speed, you are inclined to think it is slower, but I know for a fact seen as I do filming on a bike myself that this is not always the case.

  • Another reason for a real cyclist never to go anywhere near a tri ''athlete''.

  • With only 8 spokes in them lightweight wheels you can't afford to lose 4 like he did

  • another banker with too much money piles in and fucks his bonus...total win!!

    

  • idiot.....on tribars in a pace line....total idiot.

  • i really hope that flipping over the bars like that was due to the spokes somehow jamming at the lower speed, and not from mr. dipfuck slamming on his front break after he had already regained control of the bike

  • I feel off my bike at 30mph downhill. broke my left leg :L. Lucky tbh.

  • 0:22 LOL OMG HAHAHA!

  • Never let this guy on a bike with disc brakes, he'd surely die

  • 0:15 for the impatient

  • road bikes are fine untill u hit a bump lol mtb ftw

  • @Bondmeisterbond. OK, if you say so. I'm glad the rider was not seriously hurt. Ride safe

  • Excellent opportunity to bust a wheelie.

  • Triantelope. Nuff said.

  • @TheFreshPoon They're durable, it was the collision with the skewer/rear stays that cut through the spoke. Not even my custom made 36 spoke wheel would survive that.

  • Asides from the obvious error of using the aero bars in a pack I think he did remarkably well to keep it upright from that wobble. Shame he hit a bump when he tried a little bit of CXing ;-)

  • Dude needs a 20mm through axle...

  • In all seriousness this does demonstrate that training on straight-pull, low count wheels is probably a waste of money.

  • That was a great dismount!

  • he came around and the guy in front of him slowed down, causing him to half wheel you morons. he kept it up right and moved out of the way to avoid taking any others out, he could've gone down a lot sooner/harder you fuck tards. aero bars in a pace line? not unles you're pulling, but you probably can't see past your ego enough to get that.

  • triathletes thats what you get for running sleeveless... at least he had sunnies on the inside of his straps ;)

  • If that was 34mph I'll eat a bug. Looks like the lead guy was in the small chainring.

  • @bubbanumbertwo

    Down hill. Big chain ring. 34mph.

    Eat a bug.

  • @BondMeisterbond You're still a triathlete

  • @BondMeisterbond in many parts of the world, people enjoy eating bugs.

  • @BondMeisterbond shut up asshole...my grandma wheelchair can go faster

  • @bubbanumbertwo he was definitely in the big ring but tt bars in a bunch is asking for trouble

  • @bubbanumbertwo Watch the video around 1min in. You can see the chain whipping off the big ring by the crank.

  • @bubbanumbertwo he's obviously in the big ring, maybe go get your eyes checked...

  • thats what he gets for being in aero drafting! Douche bag

  • Sh*t front wheel, Sh*t bike, Sh*t bike handling, triathlete or not, you don't cross wheels and you don't ride on your aerobars in a bunch. Total fail from this guy. Very lucky not to get much more serious injury/road rash. Glad he didn't take the front rider with him too. Anyhow, I guess he has learnt the lesson now

  • @Voutch

    Shit bike?

  • @Voutch good brakes though!

  • @Voutch What you said. Why you would use the tribars in that position is a mystery to me, no aero advantage when you're sat behind someone, just added danger points.

  • @Voutch Shit bike? Dunno...I am impressed that the fork looks like it survived the maelstrom. Man, the last foot of that ride was a very short stop! Lesson learned among friends, glad to see you're OK.

  • @Voutch Shit bike? Shit wheel?

  • @Voutch Well, not at the BACK of the (small) bunch at any rate -- the aero position is for the lead guy, yeah. Now, not all triathletes ride like this. The ones that learned to ride in cycling races don't ride like this. It's easy to think he learned from this; we all do, whenever we go down -- something went wrong somewhere.

  • @Voutch well your a stereotypical tosh cyclist. shit bike shit wheels? who gives a shit. i respect people more contesting with bare minimum. on the other hand...aero bars in a group ride? :/

  • fucking triathletes

  • @xcman1500 not all triathletes are morons like him you dumb. It seems that you are jealous...

  • looks flexy

  • I have to say. Even though he fell, he was very lucky. If it wasn't for that last hole or what effed his bike up, he would have made it.

  • @holkemann I don't think he hit a hole. He broke a couple spokes at the beginning of the accident and as he slowed, the rest of the spokes detensioned and the wheel failed. I believe those popping noises in the beginning are spokes breaking.

  • Where do these stereotypes come from, where?!?! :)

  • Fucking triathletes.

  • If he had socks on he would have realised not to overlap wheels

  • I forgot why most cyclist's don't want aero bars in their group rides...funny clip. Nice save, could have been bad!

  • Everyone saying he grabbed his brake to hard are missing something here. Breaking four spokes on one side of the wheel meant the wheel was seriously out of round. I've seen wheels like that rotate two or three more times and then lock up in the fork. No brakes necessary. He might not have even touched his brake or the wheel finally bent to the point of no return.

    His biggest fail was overlapping his wheel with the guy in front.

  • Never jump on the front brakes when you are on dirt!

  • the fuck you mean almost?

  • What a triASSalete.

  • @rankinesoccer16 how does the accident have anything to do with this guy being a triathlete or not?

  • half wheelin Tri Jits ..... Not to mention dont these guys wear socks ????

  • @mackaliscious Socks weigh them down too much.

  • lucky he was able to lose as much speed as he did before dropping.

  • Cyclists being hurt = funny ;)

  • Frigging don't half wheel people aero bar Rtard

  • Looked like he had it controlled, then he hit sand!

  • Moron + aero bars + paceline = crash

  • Not sure why he went off the road, but the CRASH was due to hitting something on the shoulder, in the gravel!

  • @MrMicrogravity Nah, looks like he broke a spoke or a few.

  • @MrMicrogravity I say FALSE, HE went OTB because he grabbed front break on a trashed wheel.

  • @memphisboatcenter Okay, looking again, what I thought was something there was a puff of dust. Or maybe at that point the bad rim hit the forks, or broken spoke or ....

  • Dude wasn't cut off. He overlapped the wheel in front of him. Cycling 101. Even so it still happens in pro races. A split second of inattention will get the best of you.

  • Moral of the story is: If you are in a group, stay out of the aerobars. If you are in the aerobars, stay out of the group. simple.

  • I lold

    

  • @uhohitsslowchrome Go fuck yourself, fatass.

  • let's hear it for panic grab of the front brake! FTW!

  • failobars

  • hey check my channel for a bike crash montage :)

  • Ouch!!!

  • ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahhahhahahhahahahah­ahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhah­ahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahh­ahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahaha­hahahhahahahahahahahaahaaahaha­hahahahah

  • If he would have the hands on the brakes - this had never happend!

  • what an IDIOT

  • Safe safe safe OWWWWW FLIP

  • why the feck did the downed rider go off on to the dirt, surely would have been easier to come to a halt on the tarmac when he had already held it after the collision!

    good comedy crash at the end though...lol

  • NEVER ride in the arrow bars when riding close in a group. NEVER!

  • you know what's wrong ?.. im just 15 yrs old and im at amateur level , never do that again when your pretty sure that the rider in front of you will do a overtake never get too close . and also , never get off the road ... your using a road bike not a mountain bike ..

  • LMAO!!

  • Did he just brake using the left brake? at the end?

  • @RedSon275 totally. GAH!

  • broken spokes?

  • Ah yes, a typically solitary male triathlete is exhibiting its characteristically poor bike-handling skills outside of its natural habitat and in close quarters with others of its kind. Calamity ensues, predictably.

  • Never overlap wheels, especially with a group of inexperienced riders.

    Never ride a TT bike in a group.

    If you get cut off like this (it happens) leap forward onto the guy who cut you off and pull him down with you, being sure he lands on the bottom to cushion you from road rash.

    Always ride on wheels with at least 28 spokes.

  • GL0BEmaster

    Oh gawd, finally someone with an understanding of what actually happened... and a sense of humour.

    15 points.
