A screen grab from the video.
Lansdale Borough Police are emphasizing bicycle safety following the release of a video of a cyclist being struck by a vehicle on Monday night.
The incident occurred at 7:58 p.m. at the intersection of East Main Street and Greenwood Road, and involved a cyclist—who was riding against traffic—being struck by a vehicle, which caused him to flip onto the pavement.
“People, especially juveniles, often give the proverbial eye-roll whenever police discuss bicycle safety,” reads a statement from the Lansdale Borough Police Department, via Facebook. “Cyclists must adhere to the rules of the road the same as a motor vehicle operator, including riding with the flow of traffic, not against it.”
