We could all learn something from this guy's response to getting taken out I reckon

Possibly. Though his meekness may relate to his previous (recent) history. Have a google

Entirely the van drivers fault, no signal for a start. But the cyclist was going at a fair old clip a bit less speed gives more reaction time and less collision energy.

I'd want to take a couple of minutes to check my bike over after any spill before leaping back on and riding off.

As I say, have a google. It explains much of why he wasn't ranting and raving.

Well at least he knows how to crash!

I know who he is and I'm familiar with his work. I'd still want to check my just-crashed bike over before riding off on it!

Are you familiar with what happened to him a few days before?

Please tell me you don't mean this. He was hammering down the inside of a queue of traffic like he was being chased by Satan with a boner.

Everyone cycles on the shoulder in the States, but it isn't a bike lane. For sure the driver didn't signal, at least in the few secs before the turn, but it was generally the cycle guy's fault.
