A video recently surfaced and went viral, taken by a driver's dashcam, that reignited the conversation surrounding safe cycling on the main road.

The driver with the dashcam appeared to be sitting in traffic. Behind the car, one lane of oncoming traffic was visible, and the lane was totally empty. A cyclist came into view, and they easily crossed the lane with no traffic.


The cyclist then crossed through the line the driver with the dashcam was waiting in. But as the cyclist tried to cross through the final lane of traffic, which was in-motion, the cyclist ran into trouble.

As the cyclist rode out into the lane, they were in the way of an oncoming car, which hit the bicycle. The cyclist flipped up over the hood of the car before tumbling to the ground.

The cyclist got up and started to engage with the driver of the car before people exited a building behind the cyclist, coming to check and see if everyone was okay.

The viral video stirred up debate surrounding the role of cyclists on the main road.

Most of the comments were quick to blame the cyclist for riding through the traffic.

A few said there were exceptions, however.

Some also discussed the importance of everyone on the road having some form of insurance, whether everyone had traditional car insurance or if cyclists had their own.

Others were also concerned at how the cyclist was doing, whether or not the collision was his fault.

The cyclist later went to the hospital to take care of his injuries, which were minor and mostly involved bruises and cuts to his legs. He reportedly did not sustain any head injuries or a concussion.

The driver also appears to be doing well, and their car was not damaged.

It's fortunate everyone was okay after an impact like this, and it's clear we need to continue the conversation around appropriate insurance coverage and proper road safety.

Video Of Trump Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Is All Kinds Of Awkward After Media Ban Backfires Spectacularly

President Donald Trump's decision to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House prompted a network boycott in solidarity and a ribbon cutting ceremony on the White House's South Lawn came with completely indecipherable audio because the press pool has decided to stop filming daily events.

Footage from a Monday ribbon cutting ceremony revealed that the sounds of the Marine One chopper just yards away drowned out Trump's remarks. The far-right network Newsmax was on the scene, and even they had to admit that Trump's attack against the free press seemed to be “backfiring just a little bit.”

President Donald Trump has long advocated for the United States to construct a border wall, making it a cornerstone of his immigration policy back in 2016. Since then, Republicans have continued to defend the wall as necessary for reasons of national security.

Mike Pence Reveals Trump's Telling Response After Pence Offered His Prayers Following Jan. 6 Rift

Vice President Mike Pence told the audience during his appearance at the Economic Club of Washington, D.C. that President Donald Trump rejected his offer of "praying" for him following their public rift in the aftermath of the January 6 insurrection.

Pence has long appeared to play both sides, on one hand condemning Trump for pushing the "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was fraudulent, while on the other accusing Democrats of not advocating for election integrity. But he has been out of Trump's good graces for years now since his decision to certify Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.
