It WAS a cycle lane, but there was also a big red bus in the way of it.
The pedestrian had already started crossing so technically had the right of passage, but the cyclist should've slowed down in caution anyway.


Even so, both a bit careless.


The pedestrian will think twice when he next crosses a road.
The cyclist will probably do it again tomorrow.  :lol

The cyclist couldn't have seen him in time because of the big vehicle he was... WASN't undertaking (since it's a bicycle lane). The pedestrian, when having decided to cross where he shouldn't, should at least make sure it is safe, he's not making anyone brake hard, or change direction quickly - which he didn't. The cyclist should have hit the brakes - there was the time.

If he didn't see that pedestrian then it's time for a trip to the opticians!
It was more a case of which side of him was he going to ride, and because of his speed, plus that totally inconsiderate action of a bus stopping at a bus stop (how very dare he) the decision didn't come quick enough.
Personally i would've aimed straight at him and let the pedestrian choose either way.
On my motorbike, or any other motor vehicle for that matter, that's where the air horn, plus a decent set of brakes have a big say.  :car
