Motorcyclist hits cyclist, and posts video of incident on YouTube
YouTube film shot by Ducati-riding motorcyclist shows him clip cyclist, then berate him
A cyclist was seemingly knocked to the ground by a motorcyclist on The Mall in London, shown in a YouTube film shot by the Ducati-riding motorcyclist using a helmet camera.
The cyclist can be seen riding down the cycle lane, and talking on a mobile phone. The motorcyclist tries to pass between him and a line of cars to his left, and then appears to clip the cyclist's handlebars, causing him to fall.
The motorcyclist can be heard berating the cyclist for being on the phone and at first blaming him for the incident, before (almost) apologising in the presence of a police officer.
The clip was subsequently removed by the motorcyclist, but not before others had copied the film and posted it elsewhere.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.

The spirit of adventure, resourcefulness and inclusivity is diluted to the point where we risk losing sight of the qualities that made the discipline so unique.
