I'd really like to know what their game plan was.

[–]andrewsmith1986 40 points41 points ago

Everything went according to plan.

This is filmed in Uruguay. More precisely on "Canteras del Parque Rodó". I've tried to find out if this was fake or not, but I was unsuccessful. That said it is a common... "sport" to go down from that hills sometimes using cardboard to slide or something similar. It is also common to see "mountain" biking around since it is a fun place.

That said, that was dumb as hell. That street down there is a coastal line avenue... MANY cars pass there AND there's a corner just to his right (so he CAN'T really see incoming traffic).

The comment here says he is alive and no broken bones...that I don't believe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QKFl46XDVo

This needs to be more upvoted. The "here's the video" one isn't as long as this one, where you can clearly hear the screech at the end IS the car tires.

Keep hitting your "8" button on your keyboard. What is that flying off into the air, his helmet or a shoe?

I'm a cyclist, but come on, that guy earned it. This is why people hate cyclists. That poor driver has to live with that shit for the rest of their life.

[–]tehflambo 6 points7 points ago

Maybe where you live it is. Where I live, people hate cyclists because they plod along while taking up slightly more of the lane than they ought to.

[–]g33n 7 points8 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

taking up slightly more of the lane than they ought to.

We wouldn't take up more of the lane than we ought to if you guys would look behind you when you opened your car doors, or frankly looked at anything on the road that wasn't also a car.

Hey now, don't get mad at us because you cant get a better paying job to afford a car. That, or maybe 4 wheels is too mainstream.

I have a car and I ride my bike to work almost every single day because it's fun and good exercise. Try not being a presumptuous pretentious asshole.

That, and blowing through stop signs without stopping. First, it is illegal. Second, if there are trees or whatever obscuring my vision up the road and you don't stop at the sign, I don't see you.

[–]gbimmer -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

We have a crazy hippy cyclist that rides through our town on his retro bike blowing through stop lights while holding his fingers like he's shooting the drivers that have to slam on their brakes to avoid killing him.

...just once I hope someone doesn't use their brakes. Not enough to kill him but certainly enough to get him to obey traffic lights...

People hate cyclists because everyone thinks the road is their own.

Also, cycling the wrong way up a one-way street, it's just irritating.

If you watch look closely at the end of the video you can see a shoe enter low earth orbit.

Ugh, where's the rest of the video? I doubt the camera guy just suddenly turned the camera off right at that moment.

[–]MaeBeWeird 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There's a link to the video further down that lasts a moment longer.

You can hear that the screech is the car tires in that one.

[–]NQSSuperSam 0 points1 point ago

Oh god, at the last second you can hear the camera-girl scream. D:

[–]wogturt 21 points22 points ago

I thought that was the tires screeching.

[–]NQSSuperSam 2 points3 points ago

Also possible! All in all it's still really terrifying.

[–]wogturt 20 points21 points ago

Yeah, that guy is gonna have some uneven wear on his tires. That shit could lead to some premature tire replacement.

He actually did. I think he landed on his neck and broke it.

[–]Subcidal 8 points9 points ago

I'm guessing you could tell from the part of the video where he gets hit by a car and it goes black?

According to the comments from the Spanish-language version posted above, the cyclist survived and was hardly even injured.

They would've been destroyed by that yellow car either way. That idea had no logical end game.

[–]country_hacker 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My guess is he (She?) was headed for the gap behind the yellow car, but realized they were going to get hit and involuntarily veered left away from the oncoming vehicle.

I just don't like seeing people get killed / injured. I guess I am odd that way.

[–]razmig 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

NSFL is basically a warning that linked content is sufficiently horrendous (blood, gore, etc) as to be sensibly avoided by the weak of stomach. There was no blood, no gore, or anything that could be really defined as graphic or unsafe for life.

AFV airs things like people falling off the roof of a house, or a very high up place that is more cringe worthy than this. I think you should read comments before clicking links if you feel this warrants a NSFL tag, especially in this subreddit.
