After watching this video you’ll never get on a bicycle without a helmet ever again.

It’s a pretty chilling moment as we see a motorcyclist crashing into the back of two cyclists who were lucky that they weren’t killed. Take a look below, but be warned, it’s a pretty painful looking crash.

Here’s what the video’s uploader, RNickeyMouse, says on YouTube: “Rider hits cyclists coming out of a turn on Mulholland Hwy. Cyclists didn’t appear to have serious injuries. Note about cyclists and riders coexisting on this famous 2-mile stretch of road.

“Even though bicycles are up here in increasing numbers, this is the first time a bicycle has been hit by a motorcycle in the fours years I’ve been up here.

“Motorcycle riders of all skill levels come up here to practice. This location it is pretty common for riders to sometimes go wide exiting the turn.

“It is very unfortunate, and a rare case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We wish the cyclists a speedy recovery.”

There are a lot of comments on YouTube saying the crash was the cyclists’ fault, but at the end of the day, the motorcyclist should have been able to avoid the incident. It’ll definitely be a lesson learned and we bet the cyclist was glad he wore a helmet and not just a stupid looking cycling cap.
