I know I shouldn't laugh but it is quite amusing. I think the cyclist was in the wrong imo.

    He took it pretty well, lucky he`s a big guy. The cyclist is an asshole, a courier no doubt.

    The cyclist didn't deserve to get off that lightly! He was 100% in the wrong IMO.

    I came across the phrase ''doing a salmon'' last week. I think the video illustrates it pretty well.
    Looking for a cycling buddy?

    Wow that cyclist is a dick! He's riding into oncoming traffic (watch the large car move out of the way). He has the gaul to critisize the pedestrian! This is were natural selection will take place, he'll be flattened by a bus...

    Not only was the man on a bike riding close to traffic going the wrong way, but he was looking at some sort of map/leaflet and he didn't even have his hands on the brakes! What a moron.

    Still it was funny the way they handled it afterwards :D

    Equally as valid a criticism when describing Brits I reckon.

    Haha, the guy who got hit reminded me of a weeble. The guy on the bike deserved a smack in his face IMO.

    'it cancels out, keep walking'!! Hilarious. Looks like Manhattan to me. Was over there earlier this year and was astonished at some of the crazy antics of people on bikes.
    Look out kid, they keep it all hid

    Imagine if the guy was fatter, and absorbed the cyclist and bike into his huge, blobby frame!

    Didn't notice...

    The more I watch it the more it's like a comedy sketch! I can't believe the ped, surely he was fuming later when he actually realised what had happened!
