Default London cyclist inches from being crushed by falling tree

A cyclist narrowly avoided being crushed by a falling tree in London in
this terrifying footage. They miraculously escaped being beheaded as the
routine tree-felling went horribly wrong. A blundering workman in hi-vis
sends the giant trunk flying into the residential road near Chalk Farm,
north London.

They were obviously distracted by the lorry that was swerving to avoid
the previous cyclist going past the red light at the junction just out
of shot.

It must be tough being a London driver, what with all that working to cure
cancer, and hindered by the communist cyclists.

Stop spreading disinformation. It's obvious from his riding style that he
was on his way home from the Post Office, after buying 'road tax' (sic).

Maybe he was on his way home from the insurance broker having purchased a new fridge/freezer.
