Cyclist sent flying on one of Sydney’s busiest streets
Cycling in Sydney might be a lot of things, but it certainly isn’t for the faint of heart. In case you needed any more of a reminder, today’s footage from Dashcam Owners Australia has revealed just how dangerous this activity can be.
The horrifying footage shows a cyclist sent flying to the ground by an oncoming cart on Oxford St, with a worker form the nearby shop frantically running out to help.
“I am positive the cyclist was pretty injured as he smashed his head and leg on the road, also a reminder to wear a helmet,” the person who uploaded the video said.
Commenters have weighed in on the footage.
“A reminder to wear a helmet? How about a 'reminder to follow the road rules' as the rules apply to everyone,” one wrote.
“ Just a suggestion to people. If an accident does occur in front of you and an injured person ends up laying in the middle of the road, please stop your car where it will prevent other traffic from potentially running over that person.
“Don't pull off to the side until the condition of the injured person has been ascertained and they can be safely moved off of the road,” another added.
