More importantly...I'm amazed the that the biker seemed sufficiently unrattled that he doesn't miss a stroke of the pedals or even slightly vary from the track of his course...

It's really difficult for me to tell; don'tcha think it might be one of those Chinese MINI clones?

Smells fake, not the accident itself, but the biker. I call shenanigans.

I watched the video over and over a few times. You have to look really close, but the boot glass has too much curve to it. It's NOT a MINI.

The car that gets hit has 4 doors, you can't see the drivers side of the car that does the hitting, what is assumed to be a MINI.

The one which didnt stop BRG or metalic green with white roof and dual front lower fogs.

Amazing how the bicyclist and the bus driver just continue on like it was just a normal incident.......like those folk are all programmed robots.

It's not a MINI, I agree with Doug W, it's one of those Chinese clones. The 4 doors is the key.

You are looking at a 5 second segment of life. Sometimes, during extreme conditions, such as this, everything just keeps moving along for a short while until the actual occurrence's momentum has had a few seconds to slow down and then stop. Then the realization hits (pardon the pun) everyone, and the body begins to react to what just happened.
