- Bike lanes are for BIKES!!! How many times do I talk with pedestrians, asking them to NOT walk into a bike lane like its just another part of sidewalk!
My Sunday ride ended in ER because of this man who just did not care to look where he is going, everything happened within 2 seconds, and the rest of the week is very different for both of us!
PEOPLE, STOP WALKING INTO BIKE LANES WITHOUT LOOKING!!!
🎵 *BIKE LAAANNE!* YOUR IN THE *BIKE LAAANEE!* DONT WALK IN THE *BIKE LAAANEEE!* CAN YOU PLEASE MOVE! 🎶
I've had that stuck in my head fuck

I literally heard the mans voice while reading this 🤣
was singing this whole video along lmao
classic
His voice is gorgeous :O
Dude barely looked up from his phone to look in the wrong direction.
100% pedestrian's fault on this one.
He wasn't even trying to look. He was checking to make sure his car (Black Nissan Rogue) locked when he pressed the clicker. He was completely oblivious of the bike lane.
He was looking the other way, not at his phone, stepping around the car as if cyclists don't exist, possibly oblivious of the bike lane.
Why I hate riding the bike lane :/
Too many people being oblivious to their surroundings :/
Nope , shared blame between idiotic road engineers and idiot cyclist going far too fast for the circumstances ; having parked , the gentleman is entitled to get to the footpath , oh , and with strict liability , the cyclist is at fault ; pedestrians have priority over cyclists .
@@derekheeps1244 strict liability in a bicycle collision?? Wouldn't that defend the cyclist? I don't know which to judge you'd be able to argue that. Google duty of care and maybe rethink your position.
There have been cases where a pedestrian has walked out between parked cars and into the path of a *speeding* car and STILL been found liable. It's nowhere near as black and white as you're trying to make it seem, especially given the video evidence.
Looks like there's some people who think the cyclist is at fault, some think the pedestrian is at fault... Why is no one blaming the street design? Who puts an unprotected bike lane right next to parked cars and their opening doors? It's just a recipe for disaster...
As a cyclist, I blame the street design, from the pedestrian POV it looks like a faded green walkway, you don’t see the bicycle markings nearby. For the cyclist he could maybe be a more cautious considering the bad design and keep his hand ready on the break, not his fault but could have lessened the impact.
bingo. And this flawed design is all the rage. Denver has spent millions of dollars to install similar lanes for a few select miles of downtown streets.
@@MorganBrown how hard is it to just make a slight buffer of 20-30cm between the parking spaces and the bike lane as well? Just make the vehicle lane slightly narrower and the sidewalk too. That's it.
Exaaaaaaaactly

I don't understand why the guy fell when he was hit by a bicyclist going 0.0MPH 😅
he dropped his phone its the same as losing a limb
He could do with cycling a bit obviously got week ass legs
Had to be a white guy lol
Insurance claim lol

I hope the bike's okay and this dope learned his lesson.
Great cavalier heartless-douche attitude. Zero goodwill toward fellow strangers.

@@skjoldborg it’s a joke
The guy stepped into one way cycling traffic and looked the wrong direction. Imagine you do this on a one way street with cars. He was lucky.
Only do it once in a traffic lane won’t he!
No, he think that after parked lane car, he goes on pavement (logically). The infrastucture here is piece of shit...
I don't have to imagine it, idiots on bikes in spandex with fake sponsor patches do it all day every day. I do enjoy when one gets crushed by a cement truck as much as you tools are enjoying this vid.
It took almost one hundred years for people to learn to cross roads. And we learned some logístics and city design too. This bike lane is simple wrong...
This is the creepiest bike infrastructure I can imagine. No matter how inattentive the pedestrian was, accidents are certain in such set-ups.
Exactly.
Sure I agree. Accidents are inevitable with this configuration: one road lane, and one parked car lane and just next to A cycle lane...
I agree that this type of bike lane only makes sense for riding at walking speed. These guys were riding fast enough to merge in with traffic and that would have been safer overall.
@@daviddowdell5025 I agree.
How did the cyclist not anticipate that?
If s driver intentionally drove into a pedestrian like this, he'd be in jail.
I see a lot of comments here that are talking about me being the bad guy here... clearly you’re not cyclists from New York, but just to put some comments to rest, both the Police and Insurance company put the blame on the pedestrian for stepping into the lane without looking.
If a pedestrian steps into a car lane a 1.5 second before he/she being hit by a car, it will be their fault especially if there is a video recording of it happening.
I am a driver, cyclist and a pedestrian, I wear my brain in respect of who I am in the moment.
As a driver and cyclist, every time I am behind a wheel or handlebar I can only hope that pedestrians will be smart enough to look before they walk!
I don't get those comments if you are being blamed, my comment said
" that's what happens when you don't look at where you're going" which l completely agree was the fault of the pedestrian, there is no argument about that, the guy wasn't even looking the correct way the traffic was heading for a start...I wouldn't worry about those idiots on here who are obviously clueless or blind to facts!
la cosa esta peluda, es culpa de ambos, parte del pelotudo x no saber x donde va y la tuya x no estar lo suficientemente atento, besos
Cyclist from Melbourne, Australia. It doest change regardless where you are.
Hope you're okay and glad it was all cleared by police and insurance
Next time use the brakes before screaming and not after. If you see someone near the bike lane that didn't see you be prepared and slow down!!! No one is perfect, we all make mistakes
@@leonbergalli estas pero bien pendejo wey
If the pedestrian is that clueless walking, i can’t even imagine them behind the wheel of a death machine
people aren't used to bike lanes.
Death machine was great in that Black Ops mission in the prison
How are cars death machines
You don't place a bike lane behind the parking spots. Building a street like that provokes this. Just as having a bike lane at the side of the car lane will ALWAYS get bikers killed by turning cars. The fool is the city planner.
You mean behind the wheel of a 5000 pound bullet?
I’ve always feared riding on cycle lanes with parked cars next to it, people act like bike lanes are sidewalks and pretend that they won’t get hit
Yes when they exit to the road they are more careful not getting hit.
Pretty much this exact same thing happened to me a year ago, except i managed to avoid the person and hit a bollard instead breaking 3 fingers and getting a concussion (yes i was wearing a helmet) wish id hit them instead ngl
That and being doored, though at least the cyclist wouldn't be thrown under a passing vehicle.
@@grahvis again , this underlines the stupidity of a narrow lane just inside parked cars , with no space to leave a doors width as you pass ( a legal requirement here in Scotland ) . What a stupid setup ; all victims of this should take out a class action suit against the road engineering department who set this up ; it's crazy .
Pedestrians come first
Denver installed “protected” bike lanes like this. Sketchy!
@Rye Bread constant threat of being doored, and even bigger threat of pedestrians/car passengers mindlessly stepping into the bike lane, as this video showed so clearly. And to be fair to the pedestrians, the bikes are really not obviously visible. If you've never gotten out of a car in that location, you might have no clue that you're stepping into an active bike lane. It looks like a sidewalk, after all. I think this is a fundamental case of American city planners trying (admirably) to co-opt the Dutch model of segregated car/bike/pedestrian corridors...while having to please another, more powerful, master - those lobbying for more on-street car parking.
@@MorganBrown well i can Tell you we have the same in denamrk and not many people are getting hit by cardoors Because we have comon sense, and look for bikes Before blocking their lane. Just like you look for cars before going on the road
get rid of them, we don't need the government supporting bikes they cost money and it's virtue signaling. bikes are stupid, ban them from car streets! support pro car legislation!!!!
@@pantsedjuniorhayseed4816 Ahhh A true Brave, patriotic and free amercian.
@@MorganBrown "Looks like a sidewalk" on the road? it's not even level with the sidewalk. Just look with your eyes, if you cant judge the difference between a bike path being on the road or on a sidewalk than you shouldn't be driving at all
I swear if people could turn head 180, 1/10 adults would walk with eyes looking to theyr asses...
All the people rushing to help was heartening
Some people really lack compassion nowadays. Nobody bloody stopped to even check on them.
The blonde woman going by in the last second is what most people do, looks at them as not to totally ignore and to show some sense of concern, but keeps walking on to the point where in their head won't make sense to stop as they are already far away from the incident, "let someone else deal with it"
I take that route daily and NEVER ride in the bike lane there. It's too sketchy, visibility's too limited.
Cyclist was lucky this time, running into a car door would hurt a lot more. Idc who is to blame, my safety is the priority
Pedestrian 100% at fault
100% was faulty parking in midle of road
@@averageuncle8176 a lot of places put parking like that to make protected bike lanes
@@DvlDg585 Parking a car near the road makes no sense to me personally. It is a private property in a public place. I don't remember ever parking a car outside the parking lot. It just blocks access to firefighters, ambulance, taxi drivers, etc. If the city placed bicycle stands there as in the Nordic countries, the pedestrian would be visible.
Both at fault Pedestrian for not looking (pretty sure thats a legit parking spot) and Biker for not even attempting to use his breaks.....if pedestrian had a good enough lawyer could argue thats assault. If he had time to yell out Woah Woah Woah he had time to use his breaks
@@Shifty51991 It looks more like he jumped there on purpose to get money from an insurance company. Pedestrians often fake an accident. My personal opinion is that he is currently playing pokemon go.
By the way, a weak driver. He parked his car not inside the parking place but outside.
The comments don't really give much hope for humanity.
I was thinking the exact same thing, it's depressing.
It's not that bad here. They're not calling for firingsquads, consentration camps, hangings, no healthcare for people who want to live a normal life in covidclownworld. Yep it might be lost. lol
Asking people to look where they're going really isn't bad. I don't know what you're on about.

I've riden bikes plenty enough to know this dude 100% couldve slowed down in time, so my guess is neither one of them was paying attention.
yeah lol plenty of time, but i guess he thought the guy was going to stop instead
When was the last time you biked? 5 years ago? You must have forgot that it's hard to stop and this guy had a second to react. Lordy people like you are very exhausting.
@@frank6842 Lordy? Nice one bud.. Maybe go back to grade school and learn to ride a bike again.

Looks like you drove deliberately into the pedestrian to me, yes the pedestrian was in the wrong, but to injure him to prove a point , is a bit much
Right? It's either that or this guy has the reflexes of a 80 year old..
Well, I don't really see any problem about injuring people that are in the wrong. Next time you'll care more about others you selfish.
@@marco.castiglia so anyone that does wrong, is opened to be hurt, so how far do we take that, have you ever done wrong in your life? so what retribution should we take out on you?
@@marco.castiglia sounds like you need a win in life lol..
@@dondada7643 It's not about always putting into practice what I've said, but the concept should be quite convincing in order to make people following the rules, since they aren't evolved enough to think whether their behaviour could result annoying or disrespectful (or even dangerous).
If they don't love you, they'll fear you. It's the concept at the basis of laws and regulations; yet nobody complains about laws. Furthermore, laws are made to grant freedom and safety to people, therefore, if you're obstructing my way (for example) because of your bad attitude as pedestrian, hitting you harmlessly may pass better the message of respecting other people next time, because now you are aware of what might happen.
Apparently that man skipped the kindergarten class that taught to look both ways before crossing the street.
Lmao
Apparently, the biker skip the safety driving lessons.
As someone who has taken a dive when a pedestrian ran into the bike lane (2x), I feel your pain. 2nd time even bent my breaks, went ass over tea kettle because a child ran full speed into the bike lane from behind a concrete barrier. Parents grabbed the kid and ran before I even got off the ground. Hopefully that man got a good talking to from the cops after he was checked for injuries.
You have to have the observation skills of a mole to hit a pedestrian like that.
Dude go fuck off, you clearly are blind...fuckin bootlicker
Agreed 100%
As someone who cycled for many years myself and been to much crazier situations I have to say shouting Woo Woo Woo isn't a replacement to using your brakes!
Sometimes you can't react fast enough
@@Aeneiden I think he was talking about the first set of woo's, where the biker had plenty of time to slow down. Totally agree he didnt have time on the 2nd one tho, still the pedestrian's fault
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Pedestrians in the crosswalk...it's a bike lane not a cycle track. Just like driving a car, there are sometimes just going to be people in the street in a city. You stop for them.
@@snorfietsers4006 someone bumped this post up so I just noticed this comment
So I'll clarify I absolutely meant the 2nd time
It's a bike , not going that fast , once he said Woo he was a car length, 3m , away and avoided using his brakes
1.5-2m is more than enough to come to a complete stop with that thing,
he didn't give a care because it's "his" lane. Imagine a car doing the same ..
Beep beep beep boom
All I see is people slating other people for sticking up for the pedestrian but can’t find any actual comments saying the pedestrian was in the right 😂
The rider had already woven his way at high speed between pedestrians on marked crossings. Remember that cycleways are provided by the city authorities who are answerable to their electorate. If cyclists ride in shared spaces within showing due care, attention or consideration for other people, the cycleways will be closed. How can one person be more important than the dozens he abuses every time he switches on his camera and goes looking for trouble?
@@daifromwales9543 the previous pedestrian were crossing the intersection at a red light (for them) so they weren't allowed to cross at that moment, so jaywalking . But hey, it's Brooklyn/NY manathan area and pedestrian are all over the place as seen in this video.
Because he (the pedestrian) wasn't.
@@pld468 so this was an entirely foreseeable event ; cyclist is therefore actionably negligent for not taking more care .
@@astrobdean Most ordinary people would not even know the stupidly designed bike lane was even there , they would have exited their car and assume they were stepping onto the pavement .
seems that he had enough time to brake
no

@@antaxious8036 no
Too many cyclists racing in traffic
People are stupid. That's why I have a loud two-tone bell on my bike, and I try to foresee dangerous places as good as I can. I ring the bell when there is the possibility of someone stepping into my lane. It's kind of lame to find out there's no one even there, but it saved my day once or twice.
I'm amazed by how many people don't even seem to hear my bell. Old men, mostly.
@@MorganBrown my seventy year old father, for instance, doesn't hear high pitched tones any more. That's why I have that two-tone bell.
@@andrebartels1690 what is the brand name of your bell?
@@MorganBrown there are several brands in the market. I used to have an Electra branded one, which was quite nice. It got destroyed in an accident. Now I have a no-name Chinese one, that is as good, but hasn't got the Electra design. You can find them online, just search for ding-dong bells.
People are not stupid. If you're riding a bike, that doesn't automatically mean, you're smarter than others. People are people and not robots to avoid mistakes, remember that!
Mostly ped's fault but the cyclist still had the reaction time of a brick and awareness of a sloth.
100% pedestrians fault you fuckin bootlicker
Agreed, both at fault but the cyclist did have at least 5 sec to react but didnt, perhaps he wasn't looking around either - whole thing could have been prevented if the cyclist was more observant.
@@sukikusnierek5701 The whole thing could have been prevented if the pedestrian looked before crossing into traffic and paying attention. Cyclist has right of way and will be NOT be found at fault in court. This is a slam dunk 💁
@@TruthHurtsFAFO You were travelling between parked cars and a pavement. This is an area where you will find pedestrians crossing either side. Riding with blinkers on is asking for trouble as well as assuming you are the only person allowed to use or cross the cycle lane.
@@sukikusnierek5701 “I” was not traveling anywhere, this is NOT my video dumbass. I am simply informing you of how the law views things, not the hurt feelings police
I wonder where was the cyclist looking. He had enough time to break but didn't reduce the speed a single bit. Some cyclists ride the bike lane looking down like if they where on a road. Absolutely stupid crash. Thank god this guy was not driving a car because that man would have been killed. I'm a cyclist myself
@Robert Do you live in Amsterdam or what? XD
That guy should have been looking where he was going, but it sure looks to me like the cyclist crashed into him on purpose to make a moral point. Quite petty really.
completely agree.
The pedestrian was looking in the wrong traffic direction. He was looking left when he should be looking right. Impossible for the biker to check for pedestrian coming from behind a car unless someone expects the biker to look through the car's windows but bike brakes do not work that great. Pedestrians treat the bike lane like a sidewalk. This is why many NYC bikers say it is safer on the road than using bike lanes. You are kind of locking a biker within a 4 foot range between cars and curb too where on the road a biker has a wider route to avoid accidents.
as a mtber it's not hard to check for pedestrians coming from around cars. riding your bike you have higher vision than most cars on the road. i'm just glad i don't ride in new york. looks stressful as hell just waiting for pedestrians to jump out on you. always gotta have your fingers on the brakes
No one to blame cyclist for going too fast ? .... interesting...
Pedestrians in bike lanes are worse than living in a city with a total of 500m of bike lanes... Also something similar happened to me once, so I can almost feel the road rash you must've had on your skin, old woman stepped onto the road right in front of me, got hit in the stomach as I went sliding for about 2 meters, had red spots on my legs and arms for a week! Thankfully the woman was perfectly fine.
Couldn’t have been that bad, you were going 0 mph
Yes but he flew through the air like a bird, and landed stomach first, half on the sidewalk and ground.
you saw the guaranteed collision and did not slow down one bit? hmmmm
I cycle this line almost every day, you gotta be careful, people cros all the time.
No they need to be careful they are the ones impeding traffic and need to watch where they are walking on a road
I do not know what the rules are for pedestrians and cyclists in America , but it seemed to me that in this case , despite the pedestrian 's inattention , the cyclist could perfectly have avoided the collision .
Definitely easy to avoid and this cyclist is looking for the accident with his "I'm in the right mentality", while you can perfectly see the guy crossing between the two cars and use your brakes. If this guy was to cycle in any major european city, then he would have accident every day lol.
"Bike lanes are for bikes"
AND STREETS ARE FOR VEHICLES!!
Didnt really look like the biker tried to do anything to avoid it.
zombie with phone = tremendous hit.
Zombie con telefono = tremenda ostia.
C'mon Yan, don't be that selfish. The designers of such bike lanes are the ones to blame first of all! People are not robots, they do mistakes, and this is normal! One day you can also be trapped in such situation. If I were you, I would change the description under the video to show the real root cause.
In my state the law requires bicycles to have a BELL to warn pedestrians. And brakes that will "lock" the wheel in motion.
Who pays attention to them?
USA.......nothing more worse than a stopped wheel....on every vehicle.....
And your point? Sure, a bell may have helped, but think about it for a second. The cyclist didn't see the man coming, as he was obscured by parked cars. A bell would have been completely beside the point in this case. Once the pedestrian appeared, the cyclist would first move for the brakes, not the bell.
Alternatively, are you saying the cyclist should ring his bell continuously? JUST in case someone was going to pop in front of him? Would THAT have prevented this collision?
But then continue that train of thought. If cyclists were required to have constantly-ringing bells to warn others, the city would be filled with unceasing bike bells ringing all the time. People would quickly become accustomed to this noise and simply stop paying attention. (Like car alarms. I remember how we used to jump when we heard them. Now we immediately disregard them as urban noise.) No, constantly ringing bells aren't the solution either.
So even though a bell might have helped, it's still on the pedestrian 100%.
And a locking wheel as required by most state vehicle codes is irrelevant. The incident occurred so fast that a locked rear wheel wouldn't have prevented the collision. Given the laws of physics, a locked (rear) wheel wouldn't have appreciably slowed the cyclist to mitigate the forces of the collision. And a locked front wheel would have simply injured the victim in this case, only worsening the outcome for him.
Plus, there's no requirement that a cyclist brake IMMEDIATELY when a hazard appears. Cyclists, like drivers, are scanning their environment, watching for road hazards, looking in various places. This cyclist's attention could easily have been elsewhere when the pedestrian appeared. Half a second is all it would take to clock the pedestrian without giving the cyclist the opportunity to brake.
Case in point: I had a COMPLETELY clueless driver swerve out of her lane of traffic and into ME in a bike lane. She didn't look, signal or make a safe lane change. It happened when my hands were on the flats of the bars. I had to serve to avoid further impact and going down. As I swerved, I assumed I'd hit the parked car up ahead at the curb because my hands weren't near the brakes. I didn't think I'd have enough time to move my hands to the brakes and stop in time. But it turns out I did and stopped in time.
So there's that aspect as well. A road cyclist may have his hands in a position which (perfectly legally) prevents immediate application of the brakes.
So this "he should have either avoided or braked faster" argument is full of holes.
This video is deceptive due to where the camera is mounted.
Consider the eye level and the height of the car. The car that at first appears to obstruct the view is a Toyota C HR. It is 5ft 1in tall (1.555m). You can actually see the height of the person earlier in the video and he is definitely taller than 5ft 1 in. The camera is mounted quite low and certainly not at eye level. The plants also obscure much less when the eye level is considered rather than camera level as the plants are wider at the bottom. Earlier in the video you can see the position of the rider's companion. He certainly has an eye level greater than 5 ft 1 in. I assume the cyclist that hit the pedestrian was riding in a somewhat similar posture.
One can then only conclude that the pedestrian was visible to the bicyclist the entire time. This means the cyclist had plenty of time to see the pedestrian, observe their movement and determine where the pedestrian was looking.
Just because the rider is not at legal fault, riding in this manner is completely irresponsible. You need to adjust for the circumstances. This is not open country roads. I ride daily through a European city. Sometimes there are tourists around, I have to be careful. I look out for them. I use my bell or yell to give them a heads up that I am coming and I check to see that they heard me and that they stop otherwise I stop. Technically I would not be at fault if I hit them. However, as I always stay focused and I don't want to ruin someone's day. I do not do that. When you are using a faster mode of transportation you need to look out for others in situations where something bad could happen. If bicycles are to be taken seriously in the US, cyclists need to be more responsible than this.
You're definetly in the right, but couldn't you have stopped sooner? (No offense just asking)
no, look before walking idiot
Obviously if you were braking every time you saw a pedestrian you wouldn't be moving, so no
That's why people don't like cyclists🤣🤣🤣
He prolly thinking "wait was it my fault or his?" Better not start raging and just moan and see if cyclist apologize first
I think that cyclist hit his nose with his helmet thats why hes moaning
You're the bad guy who could avoid it, it lacks reflex all that and It condones intentional homicide
It was totally his fault, but next time please be more careful also yourself. You had seconds seeing him walking towards the bike lane (at least 2 or 3) you should have expected he'll step on the lane as he obviously didn't recognise you yet and looked only the other way, and if you have tried to warn him or lower your speed and expect braking you probably could have saved this incident from happening. Hope you are well, hope safe roads and a lot of fun while riding!
Just ride slowly. Slow down. We dont follow signs so 🐌.
Just like we dont read and sign document sometimes.
That what happens when you don't look at where you're going!
Agreed, both are at fault for not looking around in their environment
@@sukikusnierek5701 WTF You mean the Biker Was Apparently Paying Attention to where he was Riding Which was STRAIGHT FORWARD!!!.

@@sukikusnierek5701 considering rider had rim brakes instead of disc brakes, plus the fact that the pedestrian didn't make an effort to check whether there was oncoming traffic in the bike lane. I think the rider has quite the short end of the stick
@@GABRIELADAWSON wrong mentality. When riding a bike you should always be alert of your surroundings. This was easily preventable if the cyclist was slightly more alert.
Cyclists are arrogant and deliberately ride into pedestrians and situations of jeopardy for some weird power thing
Thats look pretty fast for 0 mph
Gee Yan, the reason I searched for this topic on UA-cam is because my neighbors and I keep having problems with Bicyclists riding at high speed on the sidewalks where we live. It's called a SIDEWALK not a SIDERIDE!
I don’t know where you live, but in New York it’s illegal to ride on the sidewalk. We use bike lanes or regular lanes. Never sidewalks.
So with your logic i´m allowed to runover a biker when he doesnt use his bike lane?
so with your logic im allowed to kill u when u use ur phone while driving
how would a pedestrian even know a cycle lane was there..?
damn! I've been through that bike lane so many times before
Yeah he’s an idiot for crossing without looking, but you also need a bell or some kind, “Woah Woah Woah” isn’t enough.
He just needs to raise his voice
Ghetto style lol.
@obama there’s at least two seconds between the man appearing and the crash, which is plenty of time to ring a bell. Even though you’d only have one and a half hands to keep steering the bike the man would be more likely to react suitably to a bell than a man shouting. I’ve avoided plenty of accidents like this because I used my bike bell 👍🏻
the blame on the pedestrian for stepping into the lane without looking.
Maybe blame the fools who design such dangerous streets? Never thought of that? Check out the Vision Zero concept adopted by many EU countries.

@@Lindeman08 nah, I did talk to a lawyer about this but I have insurances all around so that covered everything. All my bikes are insured.
Pedestrian's fault, sure, BUT you could have prevented the accident by braking as soon as you saw him emerging and looking the wrong way. There was easily enough space to stop but you didn't even slow down. Unfortunately it's just a fact of life that a cyclist must be prepared for stupid pedestrians as well as stupid drivers. No matter what your mode of transport, a good road user fixes mistakes made by other road users (and by stupid infrastructure design).
Hey, i've got Cycliq cameras also: How can i get those screens to show on the footage?
You would have to add them later in your video editing software
The pedestrian is at fault. However, It is easy to spot the pedestrian coming from the left. I bike 10+ miles a day in traffic and I always expect the worst and anticipate possible future events.
In New York, you cant anticipate what is going to happen!
@@iankravitz5723 Yeah, it is a bit random there. I biked down Lexington Av quite a few times in the 00s before bike lanes. It was exhilarating and without reading the intentions of others I would not have made it more than a few blocks. The more I look at this video it appears the bicyclist had sufficient time to stop. Look at 00:34. There appears to be about 2 seconds from the pedestrian comes into view and the impact. It appears to be a distance of 3 car lengths. If you cannot brake in that time/distance reconsider your mode of transportation.
I can’t believe people are blaming the cyclist lol, you lot seriously need to get a grip. I see people saying “you should expect pedestrians to walk out”. That’s honestly the most ridiculous thing to say. It a BIKE LANE for BIKES. The pedestrian should expect a bike to be coming down the bike lane. Do you lot just walk out in the road in front of cars then blame the car when it hits you for not expecting pedestrians. Some stupid people in this comment section.
They always say that because for them its transportation vs body so they think the transportation is always at fault
@@duzbyoutube7101 well that’s ridiculous 😂
“You should always expect pedestrians to walk out” =/= blaming the cyclist
All of these arguments I’m reading are stupid, both sides are always arguing a different point. One side says, everyone should be more careful, the other says who is at fault and somehow they argue against each other, like they made the same point?
@@blanco7726 I honestly don’t know what point you’re trying to make. But yeah, it’s a UA-cam comment section, I don’t really know what you expected from it. UA-cam is always going to have stupid arguments in the comments. That’s just how it is lol.
@@user-vl1kp2il8v that on the one side some people argue about who’s to blame and on the other some people argue what the two people should have done. And somehow they argue against each other, which makes no sense.
Dumb city design. I think we should fire everybody currently working in city planning and replace them with some of the millions of panhandlers perusing the streets. They probably have better sense on what's going on.
Thecyclist could have avoided it
He wasn't going fast and could have stopped but he chose content
Don't you have to ride with the assumption that just about anyone could run out of places that you can't see? for example: a small child.
At least this applies in my country (Estonia). For car drivers as well, although not all of them know that.
Nice reflexes dude... It looks like you could have easily avoided that trip to the hospital. Ride a bit more defensively, if not for others then at least for yourself.
Just imagine the pedestrian had been hit by car.
Do you see now why the pedestrian is at fault here?
@@wohlhabendermanager I get it, I'm saying he could have saved himself and the pedestrian a lot of trouble just by anticipating that an idiot is gonna pop out from between cars.
This crap happens probably every third block, it shouldn't be a surprise.
And honestly, you can already see him going between cars a good few seconds before the accident.
I'm just saying defensive mindset would have made his day much much more pleasant that day.
And I didn't mean to blame the cyclist.
Either of them could have prevented this, as with most accidents, it takes two to tango
@@PLdrummer "And honestly, you can already see him going between cars a good few seconds before the accident."
Yes. On a camera, where we can have our eyes everywhere and rewatch the scene a few times. It's a different thing when you are actually there.
@@wohlhabendermanager there is also a chance it was easier to see it in real life since his head is up higher than the camera.
Anyway, I just encourage whoever is reading this to look out for themselves.
And a little anecdote to leave you off with:
Once as a student driver, I was driving down the street when a person opened up their door about 4-5 seconds ahead of where I was. Since I was so new to driving and young, I kind of kept going waiting for the instructor to tell me what to do. About two seconds later, he said while (probably) rolling his eyes "oh my god... slow down..." and ultimately we stopped because there was no room to pass.
As we were stopped, I said "But if I hit his door, it would be his fault, right?" and he raised his voice and said: "who gives a shit?! Don't get into accidents to begin with, use your head, people are stupid and will do stupid things. You want to deal with an accident every time someone does something stupid?" (not exactly verbatim, but probably pretty close).
So the morale of the story is, I suppose when a guy pops out into a bike lane and you hit him, it was that guy's fault. BUT a much better idea is to just use a little imagination and predict that someone will do that for the 15th time on your bike ride, and go a speed that will allow you break in time. Just basic defensive riding.
I know it's easy to just say fuck that guy and let him suffer, but it's not like anyone is perfect; we all make mistakes.
@@PLdrummer The moral should be: The traffic infrastructure in the video is bad.
, there still time to break.
Phone
Ok, the pedestrian was not careful. But the biker was going too fast in a city centre, where there are lots of people and it's obvious that someone will cross the road without paying lot of attention. I think the fault lies with both.
No idea what you're talking about here mate, you can clearly see on the left side that he was going 0.0mph
Biker is at fault he should be in jail
This is what happens when they give cyclists their own lane
Does no one look anymore? Both the biker and the pedestrian had more then enough time to step back or brake... Maybe it is because in The Netherlands we're way more used to seeing cyclists and using them, but seeing someone in your path for more then a second and not even having touched the brakes is just bad. Imagine if this was a car on car situation on the road, you're supposed to be aware of your surroundings and when you see someone on your path brake
Pedestrian on phone, looking DELIBERATELY AWAY from oncoming traffic. One has to wonder if this person created this on purpose. Even on the phone, you know traffic is coming from the right but this person actually turned their back to traffic and stepped in front of the bicycle. When the lawsuit hits, you know it was fake.
“Deliberately”🤣🤣🤣
Clearly wasnt onpurpose
Ok Richard, set your tinfoil hat aside. It was a simple accident, albeit being the fault of the pedestrian for not paying attention. They happen, not everything is deliberate and a setup.
pedestrians have the right of way. Should cars stop being cautious of pedestrians too now?
Cyclist all my life and paraglider pilot for a couple of decades. Paragliding has taught me one valuable lesson: you don't wanna be the guy that hit another aircraft shouting the other guy was in the wrong. Yes, the street is poorly designed, yes the pedestrian is a fool for walking in to the cycle lane, but most cyclists would have seen the pedestrian with his head down before passing the car and slowed down...
I mean... yeah it was the peds fault, but what were you doing? lmao, you just rode right into him with no effort whatsoever to avoid him. Not like you were travelling at fast pace, maybe I don't know, brake, turn?
@Obama sorry mate, he 10/10 did not brake. Watch it again.
@Obama we must not be watching the same video, cheers.
@Obama bang on mr.obama 😂
That'll teach the cyclist to use bike lanes for their intended use.... Who needs to be safe when you have idiots to keep you on your toes...
In all seriousness, I know your pain... I ride in the city everyday... I hope you recovered well from that, that was a hard hit. I hope your bike didn't get damaged
poor city planning. dude couldn't see bike, bike couldn't see dude, the real villain is the cars blocking the line of sight. these types of bike lanes are so much more dangerous
You can clearly see at 33 sec that hes walking into your path.........A good cyclist would have never hit him.......
Not everyone can be aware of every single surrounding, i hate pedestrians that think they can walk where ever when talked to about it. This guy literally had less then 5 seconds to react and he seemed older cut the dude some slack, and i also dispise cyclists that just scream when there is something in their way for 5 seconds. Shows to me they have no patience, good lord. It's sickening because i want to support cyclists because i am one but not those who are overly angry and yell at everyone thats setting a bad example
This is like driving quickly on the right lane when there's line up on the left lane. Someone's trying to make a left turn and you both hit each other. But in this case the pedestrian didn't look. And you didn't anticipate anybody trying to cross.
I never take these things for granted. I always have my finger on my bell or horn and be on the lookout as I pass stopped buses.
Yes the pedestrian was at fault but you saw him coming and could have braked.
I’m sorry but as an experienced cyclist I would have noticed at 0:35 that the pedestrian is looking the other way and will most likely walk into you. I would have stopped. I can’t believe the stubbornness of some cyclists hoping or assuming that pedestrians will use their brains. What does that stubbornness get you? A grazed knee and possibly a broken bike. Don’t be stubborn. Stop.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s almost like he wanted to hit someone because he’s got his camera on and wants to prove that he has the right of way or something. He had plenty of time to break.
look at how far away he is, hes like 10-15 ft away and going at a decent speed, he would have had no time to stop
@@woods2424 hard rear break would be better than nothing or shouting and slightly swerving to the right. Anything.
@@woods2424 y u defending this guy when the video is clear he deliberately run into the guy
I ride a bike for a living and I'm telling you these bike lanes are poorly, poorly designed.
and every1 walks away
I can see why he is riding a bicycle. He definitely should not be behind the wheel. Stay on a bicycle if you can, better yet use a kids tricycle. That fits this rider better....
The pedestrian is at fault here, obviously, but he is not the only one : the driver who parked his car too close to the bike lane and the ones who designed this poor infrastructure are faulty as well. That bike lane is not wide enough and there should be a curb on the edge of the parking lot, high enough for preventing cars to park outside of it.
The cyclist ? 0% at fault in my opinion. He doesn't even seem to ride that fast !
No, this is still pedestrians fault. There were clear markings for car parking where the pedestrian decided to cross. If you decide to jaywalk-which is illegal in New York where this was filmed, mind you-you have the responsibility of paying attention to your surroundings. If you're blinded by vehicles or other obstacles, don't jaywalk. It's that simple.
@@dealloc It's not the pedestrian who's blinded here, and it wouldn't change anything as he is clearly not paying attention. The cyclist, however, could have seen the pedestrian in time if the car was parked regularly.
@@Bipbiprna There was an obstacle that blinded both from seeing each other. How was the car parked irregularly?
There are white lines on the ground, indicating where a vehicule should park. The right wheels of the car are outside of them.
@@Bipbiprna Right, I agree that is quite dumb parking, but would likely not saved a fall, considering where pedestrian walked and the timing of when he was first seen by the cyclist's point of view. Hindsight is of course always clearer than the moment in time.
Have thought investing in a bell? Also your reaction speed is quite slow.
So we are gonna yell instead of simply hitting the breaks? Yeah, I've read comments, the pedestrian is at fault. Ok, fine. There are many pedestrians who are at fault when struck by cars. I ain't got no reason to kill a person to prove a point though.
i think his friend yelled, we couldn't see the dude until last second, which means the biker whos view we had couldnt see anything since the camera is above his eyesight, there was no way Yan could have stopped in time
He did that deliberately
Did you see himm cross the bike lane if you there would have been enough space to stop. Do you just want to run inter people to make a statement?
Ad least he has learned to watch next time!
Bike infrastructure is nice, but it needs education to be successful and that is missing!
Pedestrian's fault but since you know you're in New York and that many people there are almost completely oblivious to traffic whether a car or a bike, you should've known better to not shout first before hitting the brakes. You're not even going that fast so you should've been able to stop immediately, unless of course if you're holding onto your drop bars which is a no-no when riding through those kinds of streets. Not to mention your slow reaction time.
And please don't lecture me about your cyclist friend at the back who you'll think will hit you when you squeeze your brakes, you're not going that fast and you should've assumed someone will pop out of that gap from your left. Be careful next time and be a defensive cyclist ;)
Why do cars have to give huffys the right of way in car lanes and huffys get their own lanes and no one else is allowed?Some bs
The same argument could be made for bikers riding in the road. Roads are for cars! I'll remember that next time I'm driving, i'll just plow through bikers not following the speed limits, using hand signals, or following the max speed of the roadway(usually 55mph). If you aren't in the bike lane/path you deserve to get hit? like this pedestrian? If only cyclists could get it through their thick bike helmet that roads are for motorized vehicles only.
