Yeah. I think someone else was operating the camera. Staged? I’m not seeing it. Looks like someone else on a bike with maybe a helmet mounted camera.dang
But.. was a buddy filming it?
And why was his buddy filming him?
The thing that strikes me is that the rider is not wearing bright clothing. I never go riding with dark clothes. There’s no contrast with the blacktop.
My theory. The guy who got hurt was being video’d by his hot girlfriend wearing spandex. The car driver was checking her out, didn’t even see the dude riding, and the rest is history.
Moral of the story. Always wear clothing that starkly contrasts your surroundings. Never bike with hot women in spandex.
