Some say it is because of one's bad luck, others say it's a mere coincidence. 

I say it is due to stupidity.

Watch how the cyclist causes this accident in this video.

What Happened?

The accident occurred at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1.

In the dashcam video, the traffic light switched from amber to red within seconds.

Despite this, a "Tour De Singapore" cyclist on a road bike decided to ignore and beat the red light.

At this point, the pedestrian signal across the junction turned green, and pedestrians started to cross the road.

Even as the cyclist started approaching a group of pedestrians, the cyclist made no effort in attempting any evasion manoeuvre and continued cycling straight into them.

As a result, the thick-headed, errant cyclist who beat the red light collided with another cyclist cycling across the pedestrian crossing. 

The collision sent the errant "Tour De Singapore" cyclist and his bicycle flying.

Luckily for the cyclist who got hit, he seemed fine and managed to get back on his feet instantly.

What Now?

Unfortunately, like all other errant cyclists out there, this cyclist will get away with it.

Who in their right mind would beat a red light just before a major cross-junction?

It takes lots of guts and even more stupidity to do something like this and put other road users in danger.

Obviously a noob cyclist with no skills.

Nowadays bicycles think they are big f**k, on the footpath expect pedestrian to give them right of way. On the road, if a vehicle cuts them they jus make a big gesture and shout. i have seen such nonsense as a jogger and a driver countless times.

the cyclist in the video seems damn entitled. above the law

  • Titan's Fall: Back to Square One

    Manchester United have once again signalled a restart with the sacking of Ten Hag, and just days later, announced the appointment of Ruben Amorim, who will join midway through the first half of the current season from Sporting Lisbon. Back to square one yet again for the Red Devils who, despite being one of the most successful clubs in England and biggest clubs in the world, have not won a league title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. Since then, they’ve gone through a whole ho

    Relaxing to restoration videos

    There are tons of YouTube videos one could watch to unwind and decompress at the end of the day, perhaps while having dinner. You could watch one of those nature documentaries, travel vlogs featuring beautiful beaches, or perhaps a cooking show. But there's something strangely therapeutic about watching restoration videos. And the channel I find myself drawn to is Fumicho Restoration, a channel full of videos of old motorcycles being repaired and essentially reborn. I'm not even familiar wi

    Building a racing-themed watch!

    This. This watch dial is the reason I started on this particular watch build... It all began when I came across someone's build that utilised the same dial - prior to this, I did not even know of the existence of a Walter Wolf Racing branded watch or dial. If you don't have any idea who or what Walter Wolf Racing is, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Walter Wolf Racing was a Formula One constructor active from 1977 to 1979, which won the first race the team entered. It was owne

    Maps

    The world map is a lie.  Well, sort of. If you think of a 2D, rectangular world map, the image that comes to mind is what's called a Mercator projection: It's... a map, no doubt, but with some very obvious distortions. The most obvious one being Antarctica, which seems like almost another planet, as well as Greenland being absolutely massive and seemingly the same size as Africa, when it is in fact 1/14 the size.  Representing a 3D sphere (Earth) on a 2D surface is fundament
