Cars vs. Cyclist – cyclist almost gets away unscratched
In this Cars vs. Cyclist POV video the rider has a number of near misses but at the very end of the video he isn’t so lucky. It’s amazing how the drivers completely fail to notice the cyclist! If you are wondering why he’s riding on the wrong side of the street – this takes place in Australia.
Description from the Cyclist
“All footage was captured North of Perth WA between August and December 2013. The driver of the car that hit me was issued an infringement for careless driving. He said the sun was in his eyes. I was a bit bruised but managed to ride my bike to work. I later went to hospital with a suspected broken scaphoid, my hand was sore for weeks. It was a hire car from Mindarie Car Hire. The owner of the hire car company paid for the repairs to my bike. Some have said the roundabout incident was my fault but the cycle lane is continuous.”
