Watch: Pedestrian Sent Flying By Cyclist - But Who Is To Blame?

This is the shocking moment a pedestrian was sent flying through the air after a cyclist looked away from the road for a brief moment.

The incident, captured on the cyclists helmet cam, took place during a bicycle festival where the streets had been blocked off in the city of Novosibirsk, Russia.

As a result of the collision the female pedestrian fell on the ground, probably damaging one of the devices she was holding.

Posting the video online, the cyclist wrote: “My friend and I were riding a bike as part of the bicycle column, when I turned a way for a second and a girl ran into the road.

“It is not clear who is to blame. On the one hand the girl walked onto the road that was specifically reserved for the cyclists.

“On the other hand, I was not focused on the road ahead and therefore could not react as fast as I might otherwise have done.”

The video has split opinion over who was to blame for the accident.

One person wrote online: “He should watch what is in front of him, not behind.”

Another added: “Two idiots met each other.”
