Seemingly not noticing someone in front of him, the cyclist crashed into the PMA rider.

The impact knocked the cyclist off his bicycle, though the collision did not appear to affect the PMA rider.

The clip ends after the dashcam vehicle pulls over to the other side of the road.

 

Whether the two riders sustained any injuries is unclear.

Netizens blame both riders for collision

After watching the video, many Facebook commenters were confused as to how the cyclist was unaware of the PMA rider directly in front of him.
