on Baby Charlie Concept~
the cyclist was probably just following the bike path. and seeing that their lines are all crooked, the cycling had no choice but to follow in zigzag pattern. its that country's fault really.

Just so we're clear, the zigzag lines mean it's a pedestrian crossing. The cyclist is a dumb**** trying to split lanes between a bus and a car and he got what he deserved. There is no bike path in that video.

Wow. That bus driver should be ashamed of himself. All self-respecting bus drivers should be aware of cyclists swerving by them at all times. Everybody knows that hipsters get right of way at all times!

People in a hurry usually suck. Whether in a car or on a bike.
Best Video title of the year so far, IMO.
His bars were clearly too wide. He should cut them down to 10cm.

He should still have brakes, but I bet even if he did have them, he still would have done the same thing.

Brakes aren't the problem here. He was just too damn slow. If he coulda shaved 4 seconds off his time he woulda had an easy gap there.

I do love how he accelerates once that big red conveyor belt grabs hold of him!
Almost like a baseball pitching machine.
