A VIRAL video showing a cyclist attempting a hazardous stunt in traffic, and then falling off in front of other cars has had everybody saying the same thing.
The footage was uploaded to Instagram on the Inside Motors channel, and shows why playing the fool on a bicycle just isn’t worth it.
This cyclist got took a tumble in busy traffic trying to cling on to an HGV
The opening of the video shows a typical urban street, and is shot using a dash cam from a car.
Traffic is at a standstill, while waiting in front we can see a large HGV and a cyclist.
The road biker decides to hitch a ride on the HGV, stretching out his arm to cling on to its trailer.
The traffic then begins to move and the cyclist is pulled along slowly by the HGV.

However, it quickly becomes clear that the cyclist isn’t ready as the speed increases and he begins to lose balance.
For some unknown reason the cyclist doesn’t simply let go of the HGV and in a panic is pulled onto the road in front of traffic.
For some other unknown reason, the cyclist isn’t wearing a helmet.
While it isn’t illegal to not wear a cycling helmet, the reasons for wearing one are displayed in this video.
Some cyclists, like the rider here, wear cycling caps for the image, but he’s undone all his hard work with this tumble.
Some people walking next to the cyclist on the pavement turn to see if he’s OK, but all looks fine.
He picks up his bike, clearly very embarrassed by the situation.
And nobody holds back in the comments – all saying the same thing.
