- Bike lanes are for BIKES!!! How many times do I talk with pedestrians, asking them to NOT walk into a bike lane like its just another part of sidewalk!
My Sunday ride ended in ER because of this man who just did not care to look where he is going, everything happened within 2 seconds, and the rest of the week is very different for both of us!
PEOPLE, STOP WALKING INTO BIKE LANES WITHOUT LOOKING!!! - Sport

I literally heard the mans voice while reading this 🤣
was singing this whole video along lmao

His voice is gorgeous :O
Looks like there's some people who think the cyclist is at fault, some think the pedestrian is at fault... Why is no one blaming the street design? Who puts an unprotected bike lane right next to parked cars and their opening doors? It's just a recipe for disaster...
As a cyclist, I blame the street design, from the pedestrian POV it looks like a faded green walkway, you don’t see the bicycle markings nearby. For the cyclist he could maybe be a more cautious considering the bad design and keep his hand ready on the break, not his fault but could have lessened the impact.
bingo. And this flawed design is all the rage. Denver has spent millions of dollars to install similar lanes for a few select miles of downtown streets.
@@MorganBrown how hard is it to just make a slight buffer of 20-30cm between the parking spaces and the bike lane as well? Just make the vehicle lane slightly narrower and the sidewalk too. That's it.
Exaaaaaaaactly
Exaaaaaaaactly
Dude barely looked up from his phone to look in the wrong direction.
100% pedestrian's fault on this one.
He wasn't even trying to look. He was checking to make sure his car (Black Nissan Rogue) locked when he pressed the clicker. He was completely oblivious of the bike lane.
He was looking the other way, not at his phone, stepping around the car as if cyclists don't exist, possibly oblivious of the bike lane.
Why I hate riding the bike lane :/
Too many people being oblivious to their surroundings :/
Nope , shared blame between idiotic road engineers and idiot cyclist going far too fast for the circumstances ; having parked , the gentleman is entitled to get to the footpath , oh , and with strict liability , the cyclist is at fault ; pedestrians have priority over cyclists .
@@derekheeps1244 strict liability in a bicycle collision?? Wouldn't that defend the cyclist? I don't know which to judge you'd be able to argue that. Google duty of care and maybe rethink your position.
There have been cases where a pedestrian has walked out between parked cars and into the path of a *speeding* car and STILL been found liable. It's nowhere near as black and white as you're trying to make it seem, especially given the video evidence.
The guy stepped into one way cycling traffic and looked the wrong direction. Imagine you do this on a one way street with cars. He was lucky.
Only do it once in a traffic lane won’t he!
No, he think that after parked lane car, he goes on pavement (logically). The infrastucture here is piece of shit...
I don't have to imagine it, idiots on bikes in spandex with fake sponsor patches do it all day every day. I do enjoy when one gets crushed by a cement truck as much as you tools are enjoying this vid.
It took almost one hundred years for people to learn to cross roads. And we learned some logístics and city design too. This bike lane is simple wrong...
I don't understand why the guy fell when he was hit by a bicyclist going 0.0MPH 😅
he dropped his phone its the same as losing a limb
He could do with cycling a bit obviously got week ass legs
Had to be a white guy lol
Insurance claim lol
@@Birthdayboy07
His face went straight to the road! Hope the road's okay

@@skjoldborg it’s a joke
This is the creepiest bike infrastructure I can imagine. No matter how inattentive the pedestrian was, accidents are certain in such set-ups.
Exactly.
Sure I agree. Accidents are inevitable with this configuration: one road lane, and one parked car lane and just next to A cycle lane...
I agree that this type of bike lane only makes sense for riding at walking speed. These guys were riding fast enough to merge in with traffic and that would have been safer overall.
@@daviddowdell5025 I agree.
How did the cyclist not anticipate that?
If s driver intentionally drove into a pedestrian like this, he'd be in jail.
I see a lot of comments here that are talking about me being the bad guy here... clearly you’re not cyclists from New York, but just to put some comments to rest, both the Police and Insurance company put the blame on the pedestrian for stepping into the lane without looking.
If a pedestrian steps into a car lane a 1.5 second before he/she being hit by a car, it will be their fault especially if there is a video recording of it happening.
I am a driver, cyclist and a pedestrian, I wear my brain in respect of who I am in the moment.
As a driver and cyclist, every time I am behind a wheel or handlebar I can only hope that pedestrians will be smart enough to look before they walk!
I don't get those comments if you are being blamed, my comment said
" that's what happens when you don't look at where you're going" which l completely agree was the fault of the pedestrian, there is no argument about that, the guy wasn't even looking the correct way the traffic was heading for a start...I wouldn't worry about those idiots on here who are obviously clueless or blind to facts!
la cosa esta peluda, es culpa de ambos, parte del pelotudo x no saber x donde va y la tuya x no estar lo suficientemente atento, besos
Cyclist from Melbourne, Australia. It doest change regardless where you are.
Hope you're okay and glad it was all cleared by police and insurance
Next time use the brakes before screaming and not after. If you see someone near the bike lane that didn't see you be prepared and slow down!!! No one is perfect, we all make mistakes
@@leonbergalli estas pero bien pendejo wey
I’ve always feared riding on cycle lanes with parked cars next to it, people act like bike lanes are sidewalks and pretend that they won’t get hit
Yes when they exit to the road they are more careful not getting hit.
Pretty much this exact same thing happened to me a year ago, except i managed to avoid the person and hit a bollard instead breaking 3 fingers and getting a concussion (yes i was wearing a helmet) wish id hit them instead ngl
That and being doored, though at least the cyclist wouldn't be thrown under a passing vehicle.
@@grahvis again , this underlines the stupidity of a narrow lane just inside parked cars , with no space to leave a doors width as you pass ( a legal requirement here in Scotland ) . What a stupid setup ; all victims of this should take out a class action suit against the road engineering department who set this up ; it's crazy .
Pedestrians come first
If the pedestrian is that clueless walking, i can’t even imagine them behind the wheel of a death machine
people aren't used to bike lanes.
Death machine was great in that Black Ops mission in the prison
How are cars death machines
You don't place a bike lane behind the parking spots. Building a street like that provokes this. Just as having a bike lane at the side of the car lane will ALWAYS get bikers killed by turning cars. The fool is the city planner.
You mean behind the wheel of a 5000 pound bullet?
All the people rushing to help was heartening
Some people really lack compassion nowadays. Nobody bloody stopped to even check on them.
The blonde woman going by in the last second is what most people do, looks at them as not to totally ignore and to show some sense of concern, but keeps walking on to the point where in their head won't make sense to stop as they are already far away from the incident, "let someone else deal with it"
Denver installed “protected” bike lanes like this. Sketchy!
@Rye Bread constant threat of being doored, and even bigger threat of pedestrians/car passengers mindlessly stepping into the bike lane, as this video showed so clearly. And to be fair to the pedestrians, the bikes are really not obviously visible. If you've never gotten out of a car in that location, you might have no clue that you're stepping into an active bike lane. It looks like a sidewalk, after all. I think this is a fundamental case of American city planners trying (admirably) to co-opt the Dutch model of segregated car/bike/pedestrian corridors...while having to please another, more powerful, master - those lobbying for more on-street car parking.
@@MorganBrown well i can Tell you we have the same in denamrk and not many people are getting hit by cardoors Because we have comon sense, and look for bikes Before blocking their lane. Just like you look for cars before going on the road
get rid of them, we don't need the government supporting bikes they cost money and it's virtue signaling. bikes are stupid, ban them from car streets! support pro car legislation!!!!
@@pantsedjuniorhayseed4816 Ahhh A true Brave, patriotic and free amercian.
@@MorganBrown "Looks like a sidewalk" on the road? it's not even level with the sidewalk. Just look with your eyes, if you cant judge the difference between a bike path being on the road or on a sidewalk than you shouldn't be driving at all
I swear if people could turn head 180, 1/10 adults would walk with eyes looking to theyr asses...
I take that route daily and NEVER ride in the bike lane there. It's too sketchy, visibility's too limited.
Cyclist was lucky this time, running into a car door would hurt a lot more. Idc who is to blame, my safety is the priority
As someone who has taken a dive when a pedestrian ran into the bike lane (2x), I feel your pain. 2nd time even bent my breaks, went ass over tea kettle because a child ran full speed into the bike lane from behind a concrete barrier. Parents grabbed the kid and ran before I even got off the ground. Hopefully that man got a good talking to from the cops after he was checked for injuries.
Pedestrian 100% at fault
100% was faulty parking in midle of road
@@averageuncle8176 a lot of places put parking like that to make protected bike lanes
@@DvlDg585 Parking a car near the road makes no sense to me personally. It is a private property in a public place. I don't remember ever parking a car outside the parking lot. It just blocks access to firefighters, ambulance, taxi drivers, etc. If the city placed bicycle stands there as in the Nordic countries, the pedestrian would be visible.
Both at fault Pedestrian for not looking (pretty sure thats a legit parking spot) and Biker for not even attempting to use his breaks.....if pedestrian had a good enough lawyer could argue thats assault. If he had time to yell out Woah Woah Woah he had time to use his breaks
@@Shifty51991 It looks more like he jumped there on purpose to get money from an insurance company. Pedestrians often fake an accident. My personal opinion is that he is currently playing pokemon go.
By the way, a weak driver. He parked his car not inside the parking place but outside.
As someone who cycled for many years myself and been to much crazier situations I have to say shouting Woo Woo Woo isn't a replacement to using your brakes!
Sometimes you can't react fast enough
@@Aeneiden I think he was talking about the first set of woo's, where the biker had plenty of time to slow down. Totally agree he didnt have time on the 2nd one tho, still the pedestrian's fault
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Pedestrians in the crosswalk...it's a bike lane not a cycle track. Just like driving a car, there are sometimes just going to be people in the street in a city. You stop for them.
@@snorfietsers4006 someone bumped this post up so I just noticed this comment
So I'll clarify I absolutely meant the 2nd time
It's a bike , not going that fast , once he said Woo he was a car length, 3m , away and avoided using his brakes
1.5-2m is more than enough to come to a complete stop with that thing,
he didn't give a care because it's "his" lane. Imagine a car doing the same ..
Beep beep beep boom
The comments don't really give much hope for humanity.
I was thinking the exact same thing, it's depressing.
It's not that bad here. They're not calling for firingsquads, consentration camps, hangings, no healthcare for people who want to live a normal life in covidclownworld. Yep it might be lost. lol
Asking people to look where they're going really isn't bad. I don't know what you're on about.
@@fokit2240 you can't spell, I have lost hope for you.
@@frank6842 You're not so bright, are you? My English is pretty good for someone not living in an English speaking country. Failed a'hole. lol
Apparently that man skipped the kindergarten class that taught to look both ways before crossing the street.
Lmao
Apparently, the biker skip the safety driving lessons.
Pedestrians in bike lanes are worse than living in a city with a total of 500m of bike lanes... Also something similar happened to me once, so I can almost feel the road rash you must've had on your skin, old woman stepped onto the road right in front of me, got hit in the stomach as I went sliding for about 2 meters, had red spots on my legs and arms for a week! Thankfully the woman was perfectly fine.
I love the"BEEP BEEP" on the wahoo.
All I see is people slating other people for sticking up for the pedestrian but can’t find any actual comments saying the pedestrian was in the right 😂
The rider had already woven his way at high speed between pedestrians on marked crossings. Remember that cycleways are provided by the city authorities who are answerable to their electorate. If cyclists ride in shared spaces within showing due care, attention or consideration for other people, the cycleways will be closed. How can one person be more important than the dozens he abuses every time he switches on his camera and goes looking for trouble?
@@daifromwales9543 the previous pedestrian were crossing the intersection at a red light (for them) so they weren't allowed to cross at that moment, so jaywalking . But hey, it's Brooklyn/NY manathan area and pedestrian are all over the place as seen in this video.
Because he (the pedestrian) wasn't.
@@pld468 so this was an entirely foreseeable event ; cyclist is therefore actionably negligent for not taking more care .
@@astrobdean Most ordinary people would not even know the stupidly designed bike lane was even there , they would have exited their car and assume they were stepping onto the pavement .
People are stupid. That's why I have a loud two-tone bell on my bike, and I try to foresee dangerous places as good as I can. I ring the bell when there is the possibility of someone stepping into my lane. It's kind of lame to find out there's no one even there, but it saved my day once or twice.
I'm amazed by how many people don't even seem to hear my bell. Old men, mostly.
@@MorganBrown my seventy year old father, for instance, doesn't hear high pitched tones any more. That's why I have that two-tone bell.
@@andrebartels1690 what is the brand name of your bell?
@@MorganBrown there are several brands in the market. I used to have an Electra branded one, which was quite nice. It got destroyed in an accident. Now I have a no-name Chinese one, that is as good, but hasn't got the Electra design. You can find them online, just search for ding-dong bells.
People are not stupid. If you're riding a bike, that doesn't automatically mean, you're smarter than others. People are people and not robots to avoid mistakes, remember that!
The pedestrian was looking in the wrong traffic direction. He was looking left when he should be looking right. Impossible for the biker to check for pedestrian coming from behind a car unless someone expects the biker to look through the car's windows but bike brakes do not work that great. Pedestrians treat the bike lane like a sidewalk. This is why many NYC bikers say it is safer on the road than using bike lanes. You are kind of locking a biker within a 4 foot range between cars and curb too where on the road a biker has a wider route to avoid accidents.
as a mtber it's not hard to check for pedestrians coming from around cars. riding your bike you have higher vision than most cars on the road. i'm just glad i don't ride in new york. looks stressful as hell just waiting for pedestrians to jump out on you. always gotta have your fingers on the brakes
In my state the law requires bicycles to have a BELL to warn pedestrians. And brakes that will "lock" the wheel in motion.
Who pays attention to them?
USA.......nothing more worse than a stopped wheel....on every vehicle.....
And your point? Sure, a bell may have helped, but think about it for a second. The cyclist didn't see the man coming, as he was obscured by parked cars. A bell would have been completely beside the point in this case. Once the pedestrian appeared, the cyclist would first move for the brakes, not the bell.
Alternatively, are you saying the cyclist should ring his bell continuously? JUST in case someone was going to pop in front of him? Would THAT have prevented this collision?
But then continue that train of thought. If cyclists were required to have constantly-ringing bells to warn others, the city would be filled with unceasing bike bells ringing all the time. People would quickly become accustomed to this noise and simply stop paying attention. (Like car alarms. I remember how we used to jump when we heard them. Now we immediately disregard them as urban noise.) No, constantly ringing bells aren't the solution either.
So even though a bell might have helped, it's still on the pedestrian 100%.
And a locking wheel as required by most state vehicle codes is irrelevant. The incident occurred so fast that a locked rear wheel wouldn't have prevented the collision. Given the laws of physics, a locked (rear) wheel wouldn't have appreciably slowed the cyclist to mitigate the forces of the collision. And a locked front wheel would have simply injured the victim in this case, only worsening the outcome for him.
Plus, there's no requirement that a cyclist brake IMMEDIATELY when a hazard appears. Cyclists, like drivers, are scanning their environment, watching for road hazards, looking in various places. This cyclist's attention could easily have been elsewhere when the pedestrian appeared. Half a second is all it would take to clock the pedestrian without giving the cyclist the opportunity to brake.
Case in point: I had a COMPLETELY clueless driver swerve out of her lane of traffic and into ME in a bike lane. She didn't look, signal or make a safe lane change. It happened when my hands were on the flats of the bars. I had to serve to avoid further impact and going down. As I swerved, I assumed I'd hit the parked car up ahead at the curb because my hands weren't near the brakes. I didn't think I'd have enough time to move my hands to the brakes and stop in time. But it turns out I did and stopped in time.
So there's that aspect as well. A road cyclist may have his hands in a position which (perfectly legally) prevents immediate application of the brakes.
So this "he should have either avoided or braked faster" argument is full of holes.
I've riden bikes plenty enough to know this dude 100% couldve slowed down in time, so my guess is neither one of them was paying attention.
yeah lol plenty of time, but i guess he thought the guy was going to stop instead
When was the last time you biked? 5 years ago? You must have forgot that it's hard to stop and this guy had a second to react. Lordy people like you are very exhausting.
@@frank6842 Lordy? Nice one bud.. Maybe go back to grade school and learn to ride a bike again.
This video is deceptive due to where the camera is mounted.
Consider the eye level and the height of the car. The car that at first appears to obstruct the view is a Toyota C HR. It is 5ft 1in tall (1.555m). You can actually see the height of the person earlier in the video and he is definitely taller than 5ft 1 in. The camera is mounted quite low and certainly not at eye level. The plants also obscure much less when the eye level is considered rather than camera level as the plants are wider at the bottom. Earlier in the video you can see the position of the rider's companion. He certainly has an eye level greater than 5 ft 1 in. I assume the cyclist that hit the pedestrian was riding in a somewhat similar posture.
One can then only conclude that the pedestrian was visible to the bicyclist the entire time. This means the cyclist had plenty of time to see the pedestrian, observe their movement and determine where the pedestrian was looking.
Just because the rider is not at legal fault, riding in this manner is completely irresponsible. You need to adjust for the circumstances. This is not open country roads. I ride daily through a European city. Sometimes there are tourists around, I have to be careful. I look out for them. I use my bell or yell to give them a heads up that I am coming and I check to see that they heard me and that they stop otherwise I stop. Technically I would not be at fault if I hit them. However, as I always stay focused and I don't want to ruin someone's day. I do not do that. When you are using a faster mode of transportation you need to look out for others in situations where something bad could happen. If bicycles are to be taken seriously in the US, cyclists need to be more responsible than this.
I cycle this line almost every day, you gotta be careful, people cros all the time.
No they need to be careful they are the ones impeding traffic and need to watch where they are walking on a road

Gee Yan, the reason I searched for this topic on CZcams is because my neighbors and I keep having problems with Bicyclists riding at high speed on the sidewalks where we live. It's called a SIDEWALK not a SIDERIDE!
I don’t know where you live, but in New York it’s illegal to ride on the sidewalk. We use bike lanes or regular lanes. Never sidewalks.
C'mon Yan, don't be that selfish. The designers of such bike lanes are the ones to blame first of all! People are not robots, they do mistakes, and this is normal! One day you can also be trapped in such situation. If I were you, I would change the description under the video to show the real root cause.
Hey, i've got Cycliq cameras also: How can i get those screens to show on the footage?
You would have to add them later in your video editing software
You have to have the observation skills of a mole to hit a pedestrian like that.
Dude go fuck off, you clearly are blind...fuckin bootlicker
Agreed 100%
how would a pedestrian even know a cycle lane was there..?
Couldn’t have been that bad, you were going 0 mph
Yes but he flew through the air like a bird, and landed stomach first, half on the sidewalk and ground.
This is like driving quickly on the right lane when there's line up on the left lane. Someone's trying to make a left turn and you both hit each other. But in this case the pedestrian didn't look. And you didn't anticipate anybody trying to cross.
I never take these things for granted. I always have my finger on my bell or horn and be on the lookout as I pass stopped buses.
He prolly thinking "wait was it my fault or his?" Better not start raging and just moan and see if cyclist apologize first
I think that cyclist hit his nose with his helmet thats why hes moaning

@Robert Do you live in Amsterdam or what? XD
And this is why I hate bike lanes. I love it when I tell pedestrians to get out of the bike lane and they swear at me.
Didnt really look like the biker tried to do anything to avoid it.

I was biking yesterday on the Danforth, Toronto, Canada. It's only a 10 km ride and almost had 5 collisions with cars and pedes in the bike lane.
the blame on the pedestrian for stepping into the lane without looking.
Maybe blame the fools who design such dangerous streets? Never thought of that? Check out the Vision Zero concept adopted by many EU countries.
So with your logic i´m allowed to runover a biker when he doesnt use his bike lane?
so with your logic im allowed to kill u when u use ur phone while driving
Hope the bike is okay . It got hit pretty hard by that idiot . Shame that the pedestrian hasn't took more damage .
These bike lanes between parked cars and the sidewalk are the dumbest thing ever.
Great New York Street Planners!
I do not know what the rules are for pedestrians and cyclists in America , but it seemed to me that in this case , despite the pedestrian 's inattention , the cyclist could perfectly have avoided the collision .
Definitely easy to avoid and this cyclist is looking for the accident with his "I'm in the right mentality", while you can perfectly see the guy crossing between the two cars and use your brakes. If this guy was to cycle in any major european city, then he would have accident every day lol.

Pedestrian on phone, looking DELIBERATELY AWAY from oncoming traffic. One has to wonder if this person created this on purpose. Even on the phone, you know traffic is coming from the right but this person actually turned their back to traffic and stepped in front of the bicycle. When the lawsuit hits, you know it was fake.
“Deliberately”🤣🤣🤣
Clearly wasnt onpurpose
Ok Richard, set your tinfoil hat aside. It was a simple accident, albeit being the fault of the pedestrian for not paying attention. They happen, not everything is deliberate and a setup.
I’m sorry but as an experienced cyclist I would have noticed at 0:35 that the pedestrian is looking the other way and will most likely walk into you. I would have stopped. I can’t believe the stubbornness of some cyclists hoping or assuming that pedestrians will use their brains. What does that stubbornness get you? A grazed knee and possibly a broken bike. Don’t be stubborn. Stop.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s almost like he wanted to hit someone because he’s got his camera on and wants to prove that he has the right of way or something. He had plenty of time to break.
look at how far away he is, hes like 10-15 ft away and going at a decent speed, he would have had no time to stop

Cyclist all my life and paraglider pilot for a couple of decades. Paragliding has taught me one valuable lesson: you don't wanna be the guy that hit another aircraft shouting the other guy was in the wrong. Yes, the street is poorly designed, yes the pedestrian is a fool for walking in to the cycle lane, but most cyclists would have seen the pedestrian with his head down before passing the car and slowed down...
Thats look pretty fast for 0 mph
Pedestrians are perfectly entitled to be in the cycle lane
I ride in the car lane for this whole 5 block stretch, people don't respect the bike lanes there. I ride through here almost every single day and have seen people step into the lane without caring
That guy should have been looking where he was going, but it sure looks to me like the cyclist crashed into him on purpose to make a moral point. Quite petty really.
completely agree.
Cycling on "protected" bike lanes in cities I swear I spend 1/2 the time yelling at pedestrians. They NEVER look before stepping out into traffic.
Nice of the people passing to stop and help. Is that normal in NY?
So how fast were you going?
0.0mph.
You're definetly in the right, but couldn't you have stopped sooner? (No offense just asking)

@@dondada7643 It's not about always putting into practice what I've said, but the concept should be quite convincing in order to make people following the rules, since they aren't evolved enough to think whether their behaviour could result annoying or disrespectful (or even dangerous).
If they don't love you, they'll fear you. It's the concept at the basis of laws and regulations; yet nobody complains about laws. Furthermore, laws are made to grant freedom and safety to people, therefore, if you're obstructing my way (for example) because of your bad attitude as pedestrian, hitting you harmlessly may pass better the message of respecting other people next time, because now you are aware of what might happen.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got em
How did you crash going 0mph?
I love the fact that he didnt check the pedestrain, only his camera xDD
Glad you and are okay how did the bike fair? And was the road okay where the idiot hit it.
The road was fine the idiots helmet protected it.
This is why looking both ways before crossing exist
That woman just walking past...like lady, stop and ask if all is ok at least.
It was totally his fault, but next time please be more careful also yourself. You had seconds seeing him walking towards the bike lane (at least 2 or 3) you should have expected he'll step on the lane as he obviously didn't recognise you yet and looked only the other way, and if you have tried to warn him or lower your speed and expect braking you probably could have saved this incident from happening. Hope you are well, hope safe roads and a lot of fun while riding!
No one to blame cyclist for going too fast ? .... interesting...
NEVER use bike lane, rule #1. Its so dangerous.
Was the bike ok?
Thank God you had a camera on you to record all this.
'well you walked into that one, didnt you?'
Pedestrian steps into traffic whilst looking the wrong direction …
I rode a bike in the city for several years. Most of the bike lanes are a joke and you have to constantly be on the look out for obstacles and people!
Was he charged with jaywalking for causing this accident? Will he be covering your medical bills?
Ad least he has learned to watch next time!
Bike infrastructure is nice, but it needs education to be successful and that is missing!
Pedestrian must be a soccer fan. Looked like he was waiting for the ref to blow the whistle and show a card
That pedestrian is lucky the cyclist was only travelling 0.0mph when he got hit.
In an area where there is lots of pedestrians this guy was riding too fast. It is still a responsibility for the cyclist to ride safely. Oh, I am a cyclist and I am constantly amazed at the politeness of drivers and pedestrians. I can't say the same for other cyclists.
@Obama He has a right in Law but he has an obligation as a human being to be charitable to others. In this case both he and his supporters betray their lack of empathy. That is a far worse crime than jaywalking ( although I live in a country where jaywalking is not against the law...thankfully)
I can’t believe people are blaming the cyclist lol, you lot seriously need to get a grip. I see people saying “you should expect pedestrians to walk out”. That’s honestly the most ridiculous thing to say. It a BIKE LANE for BIKES. The pedestrian should expect a bike to be coming down the bike lane. Do you lot just walk out in the road in front of cars then blame the car when it hits you for not expecting pedestrians. Some stupid people in this comment section.
They always say that because for them its transportation vs body so they think the transportation is always at fault
@@duzbyoutube7101 well that’s ridiculous 😂
“You should always expect pedestrians to walk out” =/= blaming the cyclist
All of these arguments I’m reading are stupid, both sides are always arguing a different point. One side says, everyone should be more careful, the other says who is at fault and somehow they argue against each other, like they made the same point?
@@blanco7726 I honestly don’t know what point you’re trying to make. But yeah, it’s a CZcams comment section, I don’t really know what you expected from it. CZcams is always going to have stupid arguments in the comments. That’s just how it is lol.
@@user-vl1kp2il8v that on the one side some people argue about who’s to blame and on the other some people argue what the two people should have done. And somehow they argue against each other, which makes no sense.
The pedestrian was visible at 0.33 on the left side of the car, 0.34 on the right side, and the crash seemed to happen at 0.36. During that time, the cyclist goes from the flower pot closest to the street on the left to the front of the car where he unfortunately contacts the pedestrian. The car that the pedestrian steps out from behind appears to be a Toyota Corolla hatchback, which is 172" according to google. I would conservatively estimate that 3 such cars would fit end to end between the parked Corolla and the flower pot. Based on this info, I can infer that the cyclist traveled approximately 15.6 miles per hour during the time of the collision. Definitely fast enough for people to get hurt - hope everyone was OK!
Is the bike ok?
