On the way to the west coast, a bus ran a red light and took out this delivery guy. The delivery guy had no helmet and zipped out ahead of us as soon as the light turned green (a big mistake in Korea). He was instantly hit and knocked off his bike. I will never forget the sound or sight. Our group and a number of other riders quickly blocked traffic with our bikes, checked to see if the guy was okay, and called an ambulance. The delivery guy will have some bruises, but seemed mostly okay. Once he recovered from the shock, his first act was to scream at the bus driver, I don't blame him. If you look at the pictures, you can actually see where his head hit the windshield. He was one lucky guy.
This was not the best way to start off a trip to the coast. Thankfully the rest of the journey went smoothly. I met some great people and had a lot of fun. More trips to come.
(It is much safer and often more enjoyable to travel in a group. There is a system to it. You have a tour master who leads and you also have a driver who takes up the tail. The formation of the other riders changes depending on the hand signals of the tour master. Sometimes single file is called for, while other times a "zigzag" pattern is best. Riders also warn each other of road hazards by sticking out a foot in the direction of the hazard.)

Wow! Awesome biking shots! So, the man's head hit the windshield of the bus??? I am amazed that he was able to still confront the 기사님.
I am envious of the sea shots.
