    I came across this blog post: "Watching Someone Crash A Bike Is Never Funny".

    Now I couldn't possibly condone the statement "This is a low-life recumbent rider. Everyone* hates ‘bent riders - even other ‘bents." but I would like to know how many people find this video funny?

    There is something oddly familiar about this bike path...
     ... I wonder there it is?

    Since that bike looks awfully familiar I am going to keep quiet 
    as to whether I laughed or not...

    "condom the statement"

    I admit to laughing at this typo. :-)

    As someone who unexpectedly dismounts regularly in front of forum members, I think I am in a position to both laugh out loud and strongly sympathise as it DID look like it really hurt! Poor Dave.

    Yes it's always funny !!!! Dave seems to be good at these videos! http://youtu.be/alnDRqMaDqs

    Anytime I've fallen of I always have a wee laugh to myself ( but inside I'm crying)

    No, not usually but there's something about that one that's hilarious. You have to be ready to laugh at yourself if you ride a bike.

    Wouldn't be funny if there was someone coming the other way (even if they weren't crashed-into they might still be startled sufficiently to UPD), or if there wasn't the nice cushioning foliage between the path and the wall at that point. Is there an extra overlay for the map showing crash-locations?
