Shock moment cyclist shoves wheelie rider out of the way and gets instant karma – so who’s in the right?
THIS is the shocking moment a cyclist gets instant karma after shoving a wheelie rider out of the way – but who’s in the right?
A group of cyclists are seen travelling in a cycle lane beside a single carriageway when two of the riders suddenly clash.
Footage shows a rider with a backpack and blue helmet approaching a young man who is doing a wheelie.
With his front tyre up in the air, he continues pedalling forward as the concentrated cyclist comes up behind him.
The young man turns his head and sees the other rider getting closer, but he turns into his path.
As the two almost collide, the cyclist from the rear attempts to shove the young man out of the way, but loses balances and crashes onto the asphalt.

He tumbles along the ground before managing to stop and sit upright on the pavement.
Cyclists are advised to give others plenty of room when overtaking as the other rider might not hear or see them.
Cyclescheme says: “You don’t want them to be surprised and wobble – into you or the kerb.
“Don’t swing left too soon after you pass. If your back wheel clips their front wheel, you’ll knock them off.”
‘WITNESSING KARMA’
With more than 22,000 views on Twitter since the clip was posted on Wednesday, viewers were divided over who was in the wrong.
One person said: “As a rider myself – the amour of other riders who overtake without a bell to warn you is unreal – a quick ring woulda stopped this.”
Another said: “The two cyclists here describes 99.9% of all cyclist.”
Someone else shared a meme of Morticia Adams – from the Adams family – drinking tea which was captioned “witnessing karma like.”
Others bluntly summed up the incident, with one person writing “cyclists make me laugh” and someone else saying “legend”.
It comes after a Toyota driver was filmed pulling out in front of a cyclist, leaving just inches to spare.
