HAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaha!

The cyclist was lucky he hit a soft object. Going contraflow along parked cars LEFT SIDE of the road is suicide. The operator of any vehicle in the driver's seat is up against THE CURB! All the operator can see is behind him through the passenger side mirror. So what is most likely to happen in that scenario is for a parked car to ROAR out of the parking space INSTANTLY putting the passenger side quarter panel/headlight assembly into the cyclist's line (just like the Zombie only less forgiving in the hardness and rebound departments).

Two clueless ships passing...er...colliding in the night. Priceless vid.
