Cyclist down, but not out

I've had three nasty incidents recently, all endangering me. This one could have been nasty for me as well, had I been a little further on, however, the other chap took the hit.

If you read this, I hope you are ok. He had 14 miles still to cycle!

I'm sure he'll admit he took the corner a little too fast, however, the surface is very mucky and isn't cleaned enough (I will contact the council) and the fact that they are running a one way tunnel as a two way tunnel at the moment doesn't help either(I have predicted there would be problems)

Ouch!

What computer you using? I use a Cateye Micro Wireless.

That could have been nasty though

I use the same computer as you. :-)

That's why cyclists don't drive, they're always fucking drunk

Ouch, looked painful. His saddle looked a bit out of whack as well.

@jonredhornet

Aye I offered my tools, but he reckoned he had it covered.

@PauloRider1 Ground was wet, did not see the other rider. Going that fast through a blind corner it freaked him out and probably grabbed the brake.

If your thinking about complaining about this guy your mistaken, your doing the same thing cycling in the subways

I personally think you are a bit of a dick, I have watched a few of your video's and probably out of 90% of the then I have seen, you make a big deal out of nothing. If I remember correctly, you were the fella who was not riding in the cycle lane and then complained about cars getting too close to you - what the fuck do you expect. If a cycle lane is there then use it

And this video you're saying the other cyclist endangered you - what is that all about? Just because he was coming towards you?

He would have been fine but at the last minute he was like "oh my gosh it's magnatom! That guy is my youtube hero!" and that's when he got distracted and hit the wall. Personally I think the wall was at fault.

you were cycling too fast. You have to slow down when approaching corners to take into account that someone might come round and cross the path.

@alfredmongoose its in the UK, so he was indeed on the right side

[alfredmongoose]

Not sure but i've seen another one of your videos that look like you're going thru the same tunnel. Are you not suppose to be on the otherside? This would be the equivalent of going the wrong way down the road?

[cheezor1]

He bruised his haggis

[R5P205]

that was a really painful sounding AAAAAYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEE!!!

[bryanddd]

Ugh. I really hat cycling through that tunnel. Honestly for all the money we pay for council tax they could make something better for pedestrians and cyclists.
