    Target fixation at it's worst. I hope he's okay but he really should have been able to dodge it.

    yea ordinary riding ..... the thing fell off and went to the right and he followed it ..... he only had to veer a little left and he would have missed it

    At least his armour plated t shirt and shorts would have saved him from any hurt

    I am in Pennsylvania at the moment in the USA and they are no required to wear helmets in this state... I have see countless people on all sized bikes riding down the freeway with no helmet or gear, they just wear sunglasses and a hat on backwards... the really smart ones even ride with their helmet hanging off their arm when they are riding....

    yep, we had boogy boards, beach towels and a sea biscuit flying at us, I just moved to the left to avoid the carnage, bloody close though
