Got to be the van. He's on the wrong side of the road, although that bike looks about as stable as our defence.

Technically I reckon the van may be at fault. But it doesn't matter because that particular cyclist deserved it.

It’s a DPD van and as I understand it, that means it has automatic right of way over all other road users, especially those from the 1800s.

As much as the penny farthing rider deserves it. Would have been far more impressive if he was on a Grifter, I have an irrational hatred of White Van Men, goes back to my days repping in my mondeos, so definitely fault lies with the van

It has to be the van, the cyclist swerved a little to try and miss him but failed miserably.

Where is the farthing going? Doesn't look like he's turning enough.

What’s more shocking is that Hackney has been so gentrified it has a whole foods market.

DPD drivers seem a law on to themselves, dangerous three point turns, park where they like, block drives and so on. In my view the driver of the van entered the side street too fast without a clear view into the side street to enable him to safely manoeuvre into it unimpeded. It does seem he was forced to brake for unknown reasons thereby not being able to clear the junction without danger to those riding or driving in the oncoming direction. He has forced them to alter their course by his reckless actions and driving.
In defence of the DPD, any Hipster, woke, lefty , Hackney gentrified idiot riding a Penny Farthing at speed like that dope, in a built up area is asking for trouble. I don’t think they have any brakes in such reproduced contraptions.

This was just up the road from my shop. The rider was just riding along and the van swiped right across him. He wasn’t badly hurt but he was pretty shaken. Typical delivery driver, tbh.
The bike is a fixed gear so legally it doesn’t need another brake for road use, btw.

Yeah, because he’s riding a vintage bike he deserves to be run off the road.

Was any of the Ling family involved in this incident?

Cyclict understeered and underbraked into the corner and therefore clipped the back of the van

Van should have waited but the cyclist steered into the van

When you're out of argument, use peer pressure.
