Made me laugh, how sad

[CharlesF]

One of my pet hates is a cyclist in all the gear riding on the pavement.

This morning, riding on the righthand side and ahead of me was one such wuzz on an expensive-looking MTB.

At the lights, which were red, he had to go onto the road, to avoid the pedestrian barrier, then crossed the intersection on the wrong side of the road and against a red light.

Re-joined the pavement and promptly went straight over the handlebars. Being clipped in, his bike followed in a perfect arc.

A rather loud "hahaha" involuntary /voluntary erupted from me.

Made my day.

Ha ha ha. Cyclist who hurt nobody got hurt. Ha ha ha.

He wasn't hurt and soon up riding on the pavement and through red lights, endangering pedestrians.

Stupidity?

Laughing at a stranger falling off his bike is not nice. The only time you are allowed to laugh at someone who falls off is if it is one of your mates. And then it is customary to show some care afterwards by asking if the bike is OK.

He wasn't hurt

How can he go over the handlebars and not be hurt? He was disabled, but I bet it hurt.

Maybe he's staying off the roads while his bike skills improve enough that he won't come off in front of a lorry.

........ahead of me was one such wuzz on an expensive-looking MTB..

Would you have been more concerned if he was in civvies and on a BSO?

There are red lights on the footpath?

 

[vickster]

There are red lights on the footpath?

Maybe where the footpath crosses a road?

 

[jefmcg]

Those would be advisory though.

Advisory for pedestrians.

Too true,what bike he was riding or what he was wearing is irrelevant..
