Filtering crash - video

I know y'all hate vlogging here on BCF but there's not too much of it until afterwards...

Those truck wheels can't have been more than inches from rolling over him.

Perhaps get a wider bike and a rider who can actually judge a gap.

Aye shereen the gods are watching over him.

If it was me, I'd make the most of it and put all my savings on Red. Although if it was me I probably wouldn't try take such a wide bike through such a narrow gap next to a big ass lorry in the first place.

You can't blame the width of the bike for that, he had plenty of room to get through. He just tried to stop instead of steer through, locked the back wheel, then it looks like he came completely off the brake and didn't think to re-apply or steer.

TL/DR: He panicked.

The size of the bike probably saved him - about the only thing bike-ish the lorry would have felt

[MC]

Very similar to the Russian(?) guy who gets run over by the truck. At least this one survived.

Comments are hilarious. Murkans are really freaked out by filtering.

This guy fucked up because he couldn't control his armchair on wheels. Nothing more complicated than that.

Eh, that barge should be drawn by horses.

Northern California, right? I reckon I passed wreckage about every 2nd day on a 10 mile freeway commute during my last trip there. The standard of driving was just comically bad.

Size of that fucking bike! Truck driver was lucky he wasn't hurt.

Blimey, if that freaks them out then they should watch me travel round London's Northcircular in rush hour. Even worse than me is some of those mad delivery scooters who scream flat out through gaps I cant even get my bar ends through!

I found herself crash on her R6.
That's why she gave him some advice I think.

Assuming that isn't his only bike he might well have forgotten how wide he was right up until that "oh, I've fucked this haven't I" moment.

Still, poor obs.
