Title: Train v cyclist. Only one winner. Poland.

This cyclist in Poland is very lucky not to have been a Darwin Award winner. Definitely in line though for a Darwin At-Risk Survivor nomination:

Miraculously he survived with just a few bruises. Half a second earlier onto the crossing and he would have been a very messy hood ornament.

Given the circumstances, could I be correct in concluding that this individual is (was?) a member of the 'IQ roughly equivalent to room temperature' group of cyclists who believe that listening to music via headphones while riding is a really good idea.

I saw that on the news last week and agree with you Bob Blakey
