Video: Lucas Brunelle's week almost takes turn for worse as van right-hooks him

I've had vehicles overtake me then turn left directly in front of me, not a lot you can do about ignorant motor users, except, maybe give them some verbal.
However, going down the inside of a line of traffic, in the rain, at a fair old lick, with the vehicle indicating to turn in, I don't think you've got anyone one else to blame but yourself.

I think Brunelle is more devisive than a helmet debate!

I like that he is a character out of the norm. To be fair to him he freely admits that what he does is very dangerous, there is some kind of quote where he basically says he is taking risks in places like the door zone. Plus he seems to take a refreshing attitude of not getting enraged on behalf of cyclists, crashes are just one of those things that happen when you ride like that.

I think he had it coming with the being punched incident though, it was bound to happen sooner or later!

The van was clearly indictating. This guy needs to slow down and pay attention to his surroundings a bit more. On the flip side, how impressive was that landing!? He's clearly an arrogant bell end but has some skills.

Tanking it along in miserable conditions. Can tell for sure but from the video it did look like the van was indicating. Tool indeed.

Before this week, I wouldn't have known his name. I've seen alleycat racing, and I'm sure I would have seen his videos, but the culture has zero appeal to me.

Anyway, these stories made me curious. After watching this, I'm amazed he hasn't picked up a Darwin award.

Street racing combined with drinking games, it gets interesting from around six minutes on.

I always see loads of people diving up the inside when cars are trying to turn.

I always make an effort to to slow down and go round the outside on the right if I can, but I can tell drivers are expecting cyclists to bomb past in front of them.

Looks like this bloke needs banning from cycling! By the look of it he doesn't have any lights on the bike where as all the cars have their lights on in bad darkening weather. I see 'people who ride bikes' doing crazy road manoeuvres with a lack of spacial awareness and being very selfish all the time as well and as a regular cyclist in all forms of weather it drives me insane! No wonder some drivers get irate with 'cyclists' in general as the don't differentiate between the uneducated riders and the courteous common sense riders.

What a tool.

Can i postulate that whilst this fella's bike handling skills may be very good his road awareness needs work.?
He was coming up very fast on the inside of traffic and as far as i can see the van was indicating.
Add to this his red light jumping i may also postulate that this fella is a bit of an arrogant prick and is getting his due comeuppance

This is why we slow down when presented with multiple hazards.

The man is an idiot.
