Awful bike incident. Made me wince just looking at it.

I don't know what's worse, the appalling lack of skills possessed by that biker, or the ****wits who have left messages on the story blaming cyclists for being on the road  >:(

Nasty, he was lucky to get away fairly unscathed, no brocken bones, a night in the hospital and and discharged.
It's a textbook case of target fixation, you just know how it's going to end as soon as it starts happening.

Saw the link on Facebook.

Major ouchies won't cover it...at least the injuries to the riders were minor.

The bikes on the other hand are probably fubarred let's hope insurance cover it.

@cambirder The internet seems to be full of ****heads, may they get stuck in massive traffic jams that more cyclists on the road would prevent, 4 bikes per car easy, but they don't think that far ahead!  ;D
Pedal to the metal! Wind, rain, hills, braking power permitting ;)
