Albatross Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Motorcyclist "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry......"
gummibear Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 It happened just after the start of the Red Hook criterium.Guys were on fixies and couldn't stop.
madbradd Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Wow that's a big pileup, hope the riders recover well. Apparently the pacebike stalled.... How were the riders going so fast with the pacebike going slow enough to stall?
Dieter! Posted May 2, 2016 Author Posted May 2, 2016 Why??????From Reddit : He was clearly trying to restart the motorcycle. In the second video you can see the light going off and doing its typical flash when you start the motorcycle with the lights on...It seems a mix of several unfortunate circumstances. Bad situation and timing...Edit: Someone has pointed out that in one video someone is yelling kickstand. The are a lot of motorcycles that have a security feature that allows you to start the bike in neutral with the kickstand, but it STOPS the bike when you put first gear. It is a good thing, it helped me several times.
Dieter! Posted May 2, 2016 Author Posted May 2, 2016 The real clip where you can hear someone shouting kickstand. The POV one.
gummibear Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 So those were mainly fixie riders, riding clipped in?All fixed and most with cleats but a few with straps.
scotty Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 That's some pileup, would need some real Sagan type moves to bunny hop that.
