Brakes are very difficult to adjust on racers but it's well worth learning how...

Even better, don't ride a bike that has no brakes fitted.

I should have added that being born without eyes doesn't make you an ideal candidate for cycling.

I have a few thoughts on this
There is something that sounds like a car horn as he starts his slowing down - that could reasonably be a crap old brake pad on a steel rim, or any brake pad on a chrome rim.
It is a weird one, because it looks like an ancient set of drop bars. He might have "Suicide levers" which would explain the shit stopping in rain.
But I didn't see any drop bar brakes at all, I couldn't make out caliper brakes on this video, so it is possible he is riding a fixie beyond his ability. The cassette looks a shade anaemic.
That would explain him losing the backend before impact, not using the front brake enough will do that. If he had a front brake... It is a legal requirement, but not all fixie riders care. I think it might be a fixie, because it looks like he keeps cycling up to the last minute, but that could be him ineffectively resisting the momentum with the pedals.
Seems to be riding completely beyond his ability, in bad conditions.
The guy us extremely lucky his head wasn't popped open.

Stop it at 7 seconds...
there are clearly zero cables to connect any brakes.
What is most annoying about prats like this is the psychological damage they will do to the bus driver who eventually kills him.
They need to install lasers on red lights to incinerate all red light jumpers.

Supposedly the cyclist has commented
saying his front brake cable snapped. That would explain the squeal stopping.
Nevertheless, if you can't stop safely under any conditions, you are driving recklessly, and that probably deserves a fine.

What a prick.
That junction has 3 lanes of traffic where the bus came from and is one way, if he'd have gotten further than the bus he would have just been taken out by a car in one of the other two lanes.
Knob.

How can you ride a bike on the roads of London
and not take extra care?

This video is in Manchester on Oxford Road.
I ride down it quite a bit, it's fucking awful, you need to be very careful, especially as there are massive bumps all over the edge of the road, it's easy to fall off your bike into traffic due to hitting one of them.
I try not to ride in London, i really hate it.

I spent way too long thinking it must be Edinburgh because of the bike festival and the accent
but it just looked like Manchester, so I googled the Gentings Casino in Manchester because I had to know. And here you solved the mystery hours earlier.

I agree, not necessarily get mangled by one, just splat into the side of one and humiliated in front of lots of people.

I hope the guy who ran up to him after hitting the bus just stood there, pointing and laughing at him.

I ride through red lights all the time on my bike
but it's more treating them like give way signs. Slow down, look both ways, and if the intersection is clear, proceed. This bloke was just a poor rider.

because
you'd definitely never make a mistake and get nailed by a truck doing 35mph.
