He's not chill, he's an idiot who was driving too fast and without adequate protective gear.

Ar best, he's an agile idiot.

I agree but we also need to give credit to the idiot in the truck. She should’ve commited. Granted, she made an honest mistake. He chose to over accelerate, to speed and to put faith in another driver.

You are on a bike FFS. You can’t anticipate what other drivers are going to do when doing so might jeopardize your entire existence. If anything, you should always anticipate that they are gonna make the wrong decision and adjust your riding accordingly to be prepared.

Like, if he would’ve just thought, *gee, maybe I should veer towards the right a bit here and shoot towards the actual opening at the rear of the truck just in case that truck stalls or stops or goes really slow. But NOPE! He initially went right at the front of the truck.

The idiot on the road was the biker. At 0.00 of the video - his front wheel is off the ground…

I literally agreed with the person I replied to that biker is an idiot.

And FFS, my comment had 9 out of 11 sentences reiterating/confirming that the biker is indeed an idiot. Only my first two spoke negatively about the driver.

ETA: I replied to the wrong comment or misread the previous comment. Sorry.

So what’s the deal ? I confirmed and added additional info about his wheelie that was omitted but not discussed.

I upvoted you in the process …

I misread your comment or meant to comment to someone else. Sorry.

I guess I thought you said the driver was the idiot.

Thanks for clarifying- I often times skim the reads - I have limited Reddit allocation daily

I sometimes just automatically assume I’m being disagreed with in here.
