Perhaps he was looking at his Garmin to see if he had got the KOM

Bloody train drivers. Always blame the cyclist.

IIRC it was reported that the cyclist in the video was killed (I didn't look at it but saw the post report later, I'm assuming it was the same one).

Found the report, your post was the same video but on YouTube and all the comments are in Polish. Other sites have now confirmed minor injuries rather than a fatality.

There were no comments on the video I posted but your were right it was a Polish Youtube poster.
Hopefully someone seeing it now will think twice before gambling with a crossing.

Ummmm.... dare I admit this?

One day aged 14 I jaywalked across a street in Newcastle and heard a zzzzzzzz sound, looked around straight into the shocked eyes of an Escort van driver who had skidded, wheels locked on wet tarmac, and come to rest with his bonnet against my knee. Poor guy.

Like I said, I didn't process it so I don't know. The post report said "pretty sure the video is showing a cyclist's death" so the Moderator presumably either took the report at face value or wasn't sure erred on the side of caution. I've no means of telling who deleted it so can't be sure.

Moot point now anyway, as it wasn't.

The post report said "pretty sure the video is showing a cyclist's death" so

Is there a way of reporting a report? If so, can I take this opportunity to report whoever reported craigxxl, for malicious / vexatious reporting?

You can report whatever you like. But on the face of no evidence whatsoever I for one would probably ignore it.

Or, y'know, write it off as being a malicious or vexatious report of a report. (-:

I do hope you haven't left your email address on your profile after that bombshell.

Also, doesn't that mean you should be "missfry"?

jaywalked across a street in Newcastle

It's impossible to Jaywalk in Newcastle...there's no such thing in the UK.

Here's a bit more about the history of Jaywalking

http://www.vox.com/2015/1/15/7551873/jaywalking-history

Ultimately, both the word jaywalking and the concept that pedestrians shouldn't walk freely on streets became so deeply entrenched that few people know this history. "The campaign was extremely successful," Norton says. "It totally changed the message about what streets are for."

Maybe, but he might just have been paying attention (yes I know men aren't supposed to be capable of doing that). I knew all that (oh shit, do I sound like a stalker too?)
