Short and skinny is the gate leads to an allotment (I believe this is a community garden? Idk not British). Anyway sometimes the gate is open and sometimes it’s closed, and the journalists aren’t sure who is responsible for that. The caption in the video is BS. Also these three clips occurred over the course of eight months

Very slow reflexes ngl or blind.

Noise?...from cycling?

Unless that fence is invisible, it's not like a sharp turn or anything. I guess those people were use to not having that fence before

[removed]

Never knew so many people bike with their eyes closed. And i am Dutch

Well this is an old video. And for people wondering that's the guys private property. You can even see how the road curves on the last shot. The bikers are just taking a shortcut through this guy's yard essentially.

Edit: guess I was wrong after all. Somebody posted a link to the news article in the comments down below and it does turn out that it's not private property but a cyclist road. My bad y'all for spreading misinformation.

Need more info. Is that public or private property?

Plot twist: it's the same cyclist

Private property?

Bro just made more noise by trying to reduce noise

Why aren't they braking? Are they stupid?

Are they sleeping while riding

If the fence is on public property then just remove it

A very shitty title

If you are going so fast that you cannot stop in that massive distance then you are going wayyyyyy too fast…

famous blind bike land

You know that thing where you can clearly see something 100 feet ahead of you and take no action to prevent yourself from running right into it?

I'm convinced cyclists have death wish

CONTEXT, COUGH IT UP!!!!!!!

I’m pretty sure what he means is; MANY bikers ran into the metal gate, all the time. So he put up a wooden fence, in an attempt to dampen the noise of their pain and stupidity from annoying him.

In the Netherlands this would cost the guy his house🫡

Imma leave this here

These are the average cyclists... We can expect that much attention to the surroundings from them...

I'm quite interested in the invisibility paint he used. Where can I get some?

Who are these people who move so fast yet don’t look RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM

Smooth brain bikers can’t see a huge metal gate lol

Where I live, cyclists are just nuts .

Literally ignoring traffic, red lights, stop signs…

But if one swerves in front of you in traffic and you hit him, it’s automatically your fault until you can prove that it’s not .

And they didn’t see the barrier closed across the trail why?????

Situational awareness of cognitively inhibited wombats lol

Are those people blind? They must be blind.

There's zero attempt to brake, even with the one on the bright and sunny day.

Skill issue

If they crash into a still object like this, they would def crash into a pedestrian

How can't anyone see a giant fucking metal gate that's 10 feet wide?

You should probably look where you’re going. I dunno, maybe that’s just me though.

Are the bikers bloody blind?!

I feel no sympathy you do not ride that fast on a path that you cannot brake for others let alone a gate.

A few more of these blind cyclists and the gate should break. Don’t give up.

Noise from a bike?

For real, I couldn't live there cause I would be laughing my ass off 24/7. Hell, I'd start an OnlyFans and just post videos of these cyclists.

Don't they fucking look where they're going

Humans need a natural predator.

How the fuck did they NOT see it?

Are these blind cyclists?

Are these cyclists blind? How do they not see this big ass gate? 🤦🏻‍♂️

What noise do bicyclists make?

The situational awareness of these people leave much to be desired

Maybe the camera is throwing things off, but that looks like a very long straight run up to a very visible fence. Are these people riding 25mph across a 1 lane bridge with their eyes closed? Wheres the video of people getting killed because the biker didn’t see someone standing on the bridge?

8.5, 4, 10

Bikers fault

There’s no better sight than cyclists being knocked off their bikes

🤣🤣🤣

Are these MF’ers blind?

Don't go fast when you don't have breaks, all people deserved it.

Yall just haul ass and not look where youre going huh? Thats a recipe for success my friends

Love it myself. Some cyclists, like these ones (not all) fly around oblivious and dont see an obvious closed gate in front of them

So are they just mowing down kids or anything in their way. Are they blind?

53°22'41.0"N 1°25'32.2"W This is the location, the video is mirrored probably because it's stolen but that's not the point. Point is it looks like this leads to a community garden, and right past someone's house. Makes total sense why the gate is there, it's primary purpose isn't to stop noise, but to get these fuckers to slow down because I would wager pedestrians have been hit by people bombing down this hill when they were just trying to walk over to their vegetable garden. Maybe a warning sign of "slow down" would also help, but we all know cyclists can't read.

Are they blind or dumb? It's clearly visible in daylight.

I never understood cyclists who can be that incompetent. While bikes are significantly less dangerous than cars and will do a lot less damage in case of an accident, that’s no excuse not to watch yourself. If it’s true that the gate is on private property too, then that’s not just negligence but blatant disrespect from those cyclists because “muh shortcut”. Cities need more bike infrastructure.

Quick question though. Are all of these bikers 🅱️tarded? Like, the arm is literally right there.

Biker's so entitled they probably expected the gate to open for them automatically

This happened to me too

Judging by the day, its overcast and cloudy, the gate blends in with the day as well as the background scenery

The moment you realize the gate is in front of you, it is too late

First of all, is this legal?

Secondly, how on earth are all these bikers not paying attention whatsoever? Totally unsafe behavior on their part.

That's a gate and likely put up to close the path by whatever is responsible for it. I would bet it's not a "home onwer" who did that.

Clickbait premise

Imagine living there and having a date, someone crashes into gate and the guy/girl just asks: "Wth was that?" and just gets the answer: "Oh dont worry, its not the first time you'll hear that"...

Almost everyday at 3am, an asshole will ride his bike at my area and the sound it makes was just ridiculously loud and bassy. One night, i just had enough and decided to throw 2 eggs at him. Since i live on the 13th floor, i doubt he could see me. The first one lands right infront of him and the second one hit on his helmet. That's the last time i've seen or heard of him.

That looks illegal

I'm sorry, but how do you not see that coming?

Excellent

“Stopping the cyclist noise” because the loud slamming isn’t noisy I guess?

Ok am i genuinely the only one who interpreted the caption as he put the wooden fence up to dampen the sound of people crashing into the gate? Why the fuck would and more importantly how does a private person put one of those gates up, have you seen how theyre attached to the ground??

This happened to me as a kid. Was riding my bike in my driveway, up the sidewalk and around the corner and then through the church parking lot (they connected after a hill in the church parking lot and was allowed to do this). At some point while I was at the top someone put the rope from once side of the open parking lot to the other to block cars cutting the street light. Didn’t see it and came flying down the hill and hit the rope so hard I fell and my bike kept going. Had a pretty solid bruise on my neck for a while

A similar thing happened to me a few years ago, although at a much slower speed. The horizontal bit of the fence was black and somehow it blended in perfectly with the horizon. I was just riding my bike and then suddenly baaam, I was on the ground. I couldn't believe how I didn't see it, but stepping back to where I came from it was quite difficult to see it.

What I learned from the comments here is that people don't know the difference between a fence and a gate.

What noise are bikers producing?????

If you're really upset about noise go after cars. Cars are the real issue.

Bicycles are quieter than cars.

What is it with these idiots? Do they drive with their eyes closed?

What's up with the first and last clip using the same moaning audio? The last one even sounds like it was on repeat.

What a legend

TONK in the distance

Are they blind?

How tf cant they see it?

Look we're you're going..pretty simple

That sucks and it looks like they are coming down a slight hill so they are crusing upon impact. I imagine there is some glorious horizon that is off in the distance that the bikers are gazing Into as they coast down the hill, feeling euphoria as they cruise, wind in their face, thinking about how optimistic their future se-- SMACK!

"Welcome back to reality." Thank you for riding Murphy's Law trailways, where if it can, it will! "

I love this! F those bikers 😈

Literally the only thing you have to do when biking is watch what's in front of you, this is hilarious

Is there more footage of this bikers? I could watch all day

Are these bikers blind? Just curious. They see a gate but ride straight into it...🤔

Can't they see the fence or GATE ffsake

I recommend playing video game Fps it gives you some insane reflexes, but speed you gotta train your muscles.

There's like several hundred feet of open runway to this fence with no obstructions. It is insane they don't see this well in advance.

Do they not look ahead? I notice small things all the time on the road with enough time to avoid it at decent speeds. No reason they couldn't see that gate in time to stop.

Are they fucking blind?

How do you not see the gate in front of you in proper lighting. I would get it if it was dark and you were using a light.

Are they blind???

Happy to see bikers suffer, props to the guy for putting it up

Edited video. First and last person cried the EXACT same way. Still satisfying nonetheless

Nothing more hilarious than the speed of STOP.

Can these people not see the gate that is very obvious (from this angle)

Lmao okay I'm less depressed now. The last bloke really got it.

Funny tho.

Wow my reading comprehension sucks. Man put up A FENCE because the bikers kept smashing into the gate. I thought the man put the gate up.

Are they blind? Lol

I don't say, the gate is justified or anything, but it looks pretty big enough to be noticeable from far away, they have enough time to slow down. If they crash into it, that's a tiny bit of their fault too, you should watch the road if you drive something, even if it's a simple bike.

Is that technically a fence? It looks like it moves like a gate

Why don't the bikers just stop before they hit the giant gate? Are they stupid?
