A viral video from the UK shows exactly why cycling on sidewalks can be a recipe for disaster.
Let’s break down this cringe-worthy encounter that probably left both participants with headaches for different reasons.

How It All Went Wrong
A cyclist, probably thinking he’s playing it safe, decides to ride on the sidewalk. As he rounds a corner, his bike clips a wall, sending him off balance and straight into an unsuspecting mechanic.
WHY YOU COMING FAST?
The poor mechanic, who was just doing his job checking under a car’s wheel arch, got an unexpected introduction to the vehicle’s underside.
Let’s just say his head and the car had an unscheduled meeting.
The Heated Exchange
What followed was exactly what you’d expect when someone’s head just met a car.
The mechanic, understandably upset, greeted the cyclist with a colorful “what the **** are you doing?”
The cyclist’s response? A somewhat understated “Sorry, I crashed.”
The Tension Rises
The mechanic, still holding the bike, asked the rather pointed question, “Are you blind? You can’t see me?!” followed by “WHY YOU COMING FAST?”
In a final display of frustration, the mechanic threw the bike aside, exclaiming “You just hit me and I just hit the car, with my head!”
