What an idiot
where is this, india?
That is absolutely insane to not be hugging the absolute edge of that shoulder. Trying to pass a semi on a bike!? Who rides like this…
Cemeteries are full of riders like this
I’m in favor or taking the lane on a fast downhill (the shoulder is absolutely the wrong decision) but…Jesus Christ if it didn’t end badly for him that time, it would in the future. Squeezing between trucks and changing lanes on a curving downhill in traffic is absolutely idiotic.
That road had no shoulder so the safest place for me would be 1) avoid it or 2) take the right lane and don’t pass anyone but remain visible and stay in the lane.

Fuck around, find out

The guy on the bike is very irresponsible for riding like this. Not to mention the balls (insanity?) for trying to split lanes in between 2 trucks.
But can we stop for a moment and look at other drivers?! Nobody is keeping the distance. The guy in a car cutting in.
I don’t understand why they feel they need to drive like this. Including the guy on the bike.
Organ donor.
not sure what was happening for the cyclist to put themself in that situation, but videos like this remind me i’m lucky to be alive after the tours i’ve done
I can’t tell if this guy is trying to unalive himself or if everyone else in the video is out to get him
Dumb as shit. Those semi drivers can’t even see a cyclist if they were looking – they have huge blind spots.
I’m sure this scared the crap out of the drivers as well.
Mofo is in the same category as those assholes driving luxury sedans at 180kph on expressways and weaving through rush hour traffic
What the f*** is this guy doing on streets like that?!
