Can the anti-cycling sentiment here get any more desperate ?

Pretty much sums up cyclists though. You NEVER cross the double yellow in the USA but look at them all crossing it like they own the road. Then BANG and in the comments on biking forums...it's somehow the car drivers fault Hell they are all blaming the car driver in the comments in the video. Such lolz

I don't understand the point of this post then, cyclist was at fault.

You did notice this wasn't on the open road but a competitive event presumably.

Twoblacklines didn't, in his eagerness to demonise anyone riding a bicycle on the public road.

Regardless, I can't see one thing that's amusing about that clip.

Indeed, which is what baffled me when I saw the post - it was totally unrelated to any road going situation or cohabitation issues between cyclists and cars as it was a sporting event but finding that funny and exploiting it to criticise cyclists is quite ridiculous.

I know that. Doesn't make it not the cyclists fault now does it.

Again, what has this got to do with fault ?

Can't you see the point that in a race context, demonising a cyclist vs car driver is utterly stupid and symptomatic of the tiny minority who can't accept that there are cretins in any type of vehicle and have developed an unhealthy hatred for cyclist to the point that they laugh at a competitor getting hurt in a race context. Stop pretending you're an internet cretin! ;-)

It's not clear though, is it?

It is abundantly clear.

I'm sure theres a positive correlation between those who have that hatred (anti-cycling sentiment) and being thick.

I didn't dare even think that but this thread is starting to convince me too...
