Some say it is because of one's bad luck, others say it's a mere coincidence. 

I say it is due to stupidity.

Watch how the cyclist causes this accident in this video.

What Happened?

The accident occurred at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1.

In the dashcam video, the traffic light switched from amber to red within seconds.

Despite this, a "Tour De Singapore" cyclist on a road bike decided to ignore and beat the red light.

At this point, the pedestrian signal across the junction turned green, and pedestrians started to cross the road.

Even as the cyclist started approaching a group of pedestrians, the cyclist made no effort in attempting any evasion manoeuvre and continued cycling straight into them.

As a result, the thick-headed, errant cyclist who beat the red light collided with another cyclist cycling across the pedestrian crossing. 

The collision sent the errant "Tour De Singapore" cyclist and his bicycle flying.

Luckily for the cyclist who got hit, he seemed fine and managed to get back on his feet instantly.

What Now?

Unfortunately, like all other errant cyclists out there, this cyclist will get away with it.

Who in their right mind would beat a red light just before a major cross-junction?

It takes lots of guts and even more stupidity to do something like this and put other road users in danger.

Obviously a noob cyclist with no skills.

Nowadays bicycles think they are big f**k, on the footpath expect pedestrian to give them right of way. On the road, if a vehicle cuts them they jus make a big gesture and shout. i have seen such nonsense as a jogger and a driver countless times.

the cyclist in the video seems damn entitled. above the law
