Apologies if this has been posted before, nothing came up on a search, found from Street View, not sure how it has happened but i know which rider i’s rather be!

‘Interesting’ Fact No. 1: He’s wearing a Petzl meteor climbing helmet.

if i was the lower rider i’d be thinking, “thank god i’m not wearing a helmet right now.”

yeh i’d noticed that, it’s difficult to make out his bike maybe he’s just jumped down from climbing a building!

Is there definately two bikes there??

Hi-viz jumped a red light ?

There’s what looks like a front wheel and a set of handlebars in front of the climber’s foot.

I reckon the ‘climber’ emerged from a manhole (ooh er missus) and took out the red light jumper.

unicycle with niche helmet?

you can make out climbers bike underneath hi-viz but they seem to be in opposite directions as oppose to a ‘normal’ side on shunt. Maybe hi-viz didn’t like being overtaken so just lay down on the other guy?

I think the climber was turning right at those lights, down towards Lakota 🙂

Given that this happened at Stokes Croft in Bristol, I imagine that one of them had become distracted by his tin of Special Brew while the other one was try to roll a mid-ride spliff.

The climber clearly has a dimishing erection…
He is gay, & the erection was for the bloke levitating above the side road.
Problem is ol’ flouro wearer spotted it, leapt from his moving bike, & fell to the floor.
That bird in the background, now she’s gagging for it & about to sprint to said gay man, in an effort to convert him.

got to be a red light jumper, a friend lives near there and comments that he has nearly hit 4 cyclists jumping light in that bit of stokes croft, most people don’t even bother looking/slowing down so cars t-bone them.

I think thats why the Police now monitor that bit of road and fine the muppets who don’t understand traffic lights/junctions

Cant be Bristol. as all the bikes have stolen 😉

Looks more like a middle aged woman who has been downed…doubt she is your typical red light jumping sort?

Flatties on a shopping bike….hardly a courier is she?

Oh it’s Bristol alright..

I’ve seen all sorts jumping reds. Grannies, respectable businessmen, kids, the lot.

I think climber was coming up the hill there, look at his momentum. Probably going diagonally across the junction from the pavement I’d guess – avoiding the traffic regulations.

and you wonder why car drivers hate cyclists 🙄

and you wonder why car drivers hate cyclists

is the correct answer “jealousy”?

the road he comes out of is one way

I think climber was coming up the hill there

Damn I’m bored, he wasnt coming up the hill.. He was coming from the centre, going the same way as the google car, then turning right at those lights. I’ve looked at the other google street view pics, when this was posted on the first day of street view 😉

But now that section of road is not on streetview! 👿

is the correct answer “jealousy”?

I suspect that might not be the answer.

I think Hi vis can probably save it, he still has one hand on the bars = control, he is probably just dragging that elbow to showboat Rossi style…

Climber has spotted the chippy and is sprinting for a Pukka Pie n chips..

Now that would be worth seeing….

A liqourice sweet jumping a Man Utd fan!

has that section of street been removed from streetview?

brilliant capture of the stig

The levitating man was in fact a skateboard dude…

Hi vis still has his hand on the bars, if it were me I wouldnt call it a crash…

The climber now has the pie n chips in his backpack and is wondering why Hi vis was riding 2 bikes…

I was right it was a middle aged lady….on a shopper…

Shame no one got my Man Utd joke though…. 😥

I think the reason why Hi-Vis hasn’t let go of the bars is because she doesn’t want to get her bike pinched,, well it is Bristol after all 😉

He was coming from the centre, going the same way as the google car, then turning right at those lights.

How then do you explain the angle of his bike, Hi-viz’s direction of fall and his direction of bailing out?

Doesn’t make sense anyway.

Hi vis is definately still styling, note the one finger brake technique, and sus forks on a shopper?

Now I know this is going to sound a tad paranoid…but is anyone else suspecting that this gruesome scene has undertones of a conspiracy theory?

Far too many variables too pin the cause down to any one person…and far too many shady suspects within the vicinity.

Could the chap in the background ( walking down the hill) be a ‘wiggle secret agent’? It certainly looks like a small surface to air missile that he is conveniently carrying….with an arrogant check over his shoulder to make sure his mission is complete.

The skate boarder is a decoy, a second sniper is located top right in the picture.

Question is….

Would they have had time to reload??

the skateboarder’s definitely a decoy – he appears to have changed from goofy to regular between the two shots.

She jumped the lights and he went the wrong way down a one way street?

They were both staring at the Google car’s unwieldy apparatus and crashed into each other. Bet it’s caused a few car crashes too…

yep my money is on she jumped the lights, he was riding the wrong way up the one-way street, both were staring at the car and hit each other.

Could almost be Liverpools Crown Street!
