Footage shows the moment two cyclists were involved in a head-on collision on one of London's 'cycle superhighway' routes, in Cable Street, earlier this month.<br /><br />The video, from the perspective of rider Cameron Primrose who says the crash was his fault, shows him crossing onto the 'CS3' route as a car turned along it - distracting him from the oncoming bike.<br /><br />The two then crash head on, falling to the ground and leaving the other cyclist clutching his head.<br /><br />Thankfully both escaped the incident uninjured and without damage, with commenters online pointing out the lack of appropriate markings and 'poor design' of the turning where it happened.<br /><br />When uploading the video on Tuesday, Cameron Primrose wrote online: "I still admitted full responsibility as it was my fault but in my (very week) defence/excuse, I was slightly distracted by the car that just turned down a cycle lane.<br /><br />"By the time saw the other cyclist approaching my thinking was, if I go left, he'll continue around the cycle lane left hand edge, keeping to his left and I might just get past in front of him and he go round my back. As he didn't follow the left hand edge my assumption put us on a direct collision course!! Whoops."<br /><br />In reply to one commenter, the filmer said "Wouldn't we all be hypocrites if we call out other people's mistakes but never acknowledge our own."
