Unfortunate moment a cyclist is hit after rolling down a slope towards a gate and crashing into it – just months after an electric scooter rider did the SAME thing
- The footage was captured by a Ring CCTV camera in Sheffield on Wednesday.
A hapless cyclist is puzzled after failing to spot a door ahead of him – just months after an electric scooter rider did the same.
The cyclist can be seen hurtling down a hill in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, directly towards a huge closed metal gate blocking his path.
He still hadn’t seen the barrier even though it was right in front of him because his eyes were staring straight ahead at the moment of impact.

But he too didn’t realize there was a barrier in front of him and at the end of the video you can hear a big gasping breath.
A local said: “First a scooter driver hit a steel fence. Today a man on a bicycle did the same thing.
