[jack smith]

had a similar situation the other light, over took a fellow roadie at night so plenty of space on the roads, he had a very expensive bianchi good kit ect and obviosuly didnt like getting overtook so he tried drafting behind me trying to overtake again, getting stupidly close, got to a red light and he forgot to unclip oh how he looked ashamed!

 

[L14M]

Mug.. didn't have a rear light too!

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Because nobbers ride bikes too?

Pannier strike?

You stolen my words :-p

I didn't see him until much later on the vid.

Jobknocky.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

What a twat.
The other cyclist looks a bit "wtf I expected to be hit by a car, but this"

Really? The ninja is clearly visible from about six or seven seconds in.

As are all the unlit parked cars.

 

[Kookas]

How can he afford panniers but not bother to get a rear light?

 

[Peter Armstrong]

What happened, Did the ninja get overtaken after slowing down at the crossing, then wanted to overtake but just cycle into the other person?

The lights changed from yellow to red. I expect that the bike behind was going to jump the lights but the bike in front wasnt.
I have seen similar close misses, and riders going over the handle bars because the bike behind assummed the bike in front would jump the lights.

Out of interest was the guy on the green bike in the wrong lane for going straight on in the first place when he stopped? Not that anyone should knock him off for that!
