In the video the cyclist can be seen approaching a set of traffic lights which changed from amber to red. The cyclist had enough time to stop within the bike box at the junction but was knocked to the ground just as he stopped.
From the rear facing camera we can see just how close the bus was travelling behind him and it looks as though he expected the cyclist to run the red light with and was ready to run the red also.
The bus involved in the incident belong to Go Ahead London and was operating on the 355 route from Brixton via Clapham Park, Balham, Tooting to Mitcham which is a total of seven miles.
Attention all ye 'cash for crash', 'where's the red light', etc. No cyclist has EVER thrown themselves under a bus for profit. Sheesh. pic.twitter.com/tzpERastw6

So what exactly was this bucket of steaming good for the veggies excuse?
That bus driver was clearly going to take the amber light, no way he wanted to stop for a red.
“Professional” driver?!
right in the blue box.
Why is it that people who are paid to drive are generally the worst at it!!??
Polak driving?
Most cyclists are twats in my experience
The cyclist in this video clip obeyed the law and stopped at a red light. Does this make him a “twat”?
Thomas Clark you are a person of substantial unintelligent substance and should keep your stupid thoughts to your self. Or simply put for you to understand… You’re a twat too!!
Most Thomas’ are absolute thundercunts in my experience.
Thomas, you’re obviously a cyclist.
Er and you follow this page because …..?
Sound more like the real twat here is Thomas.
In my experience many buses are far too close to my rear to stop if anything happens no matter what mode of transport I am using.
Bus drivers have a huge responsibility for the safety of their passengers. Therefore they should be more observant to the road ahead and to what is going on around the vehicle.
This driver needs to be reminded of that.
On many occasions, I have seen London buses running red lights.
Agreed. I rode quite a bit when I was in London. Bus drivers & lorries hate cyclists
Do we know what happened after the crash? Did the bus driver get held accountable?
Bus drivers are terrible, do they get their licences from cereal boxes?
When i passed my PCV 13 years ago i had to go through a series of tests.Not sure if you can still get them given over breakfast,twat.
Great work by bus driver not to run over dickhead who pulled in the middle of the road lane obviously not worried about big things travelling behind and cannot generally pull up as fast as a bicycle ..
bus was on the blue zone, bike rode in the lane to surpass, then this happened
Why does the blue zone take up all the road right where vehicle will pull up .. death traps .. cyclist need think ..
Read the Highway Code please. That cyclist was following it to a ‘T’.
Try to take an objective view and then comment.
Your a Bogan
Brendon Asprey .. two lessons for the uninitiated .. wear gloves .. know what the traffic is doing .. it’s called survival .. yeah .. I guess if you are dead people will say .. but he stuck by the rules ..
