Based on the following tractors, it looks like the lead one did not
need to be that far out. It's a two lane road with a centre line
which does not disappear under the bridge.

I guess the cyclists' immediate concern was to give the pedestrians
space, which meant moving to the right of the riding line on a right
hand bend. Continuing to follow the curve while making a step move to
the left and mashing the brakes shows good control.


I think the cyclist was just going too fast for the prevailing
conditions, it wasn't worthy of a near miss of the day slot.


To be fair - the cyclist said as much.
