Chinese cyclist's lucky escapeVideo: Cyclist in China has very lucky escape after lorry runs him over
A cyclist in China had an incredibly lucky escape when he was run over by a truck in Ningbo, a coastal city just south of Shanghai.
Footage from CCTV cameras shows the cyclist riding up the inside of the lorry as it turns right, the driver evidently unaware of his presence.
Despite being run over by the truck, the cyclist gets up afterwards, apparently unscathed.
It's not the first video we've reported on this year showing a cyclist narrowly avoiding serious injury in a collision with a lorry.
In July, footage emerged of Russian teenager Natasha Bulova escaping with nothing more than bruises after being rin over by a skip lorry near Moscow.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Any chance you can delete this article after what's happened in Glasgow today ?
Hi guys, totally agree with the above, can this article please be removed?
That is one lucky guy.
Is his bike Ok?
Looks to me like the rear wheels of the semi ran it over!
Where was he going at that jaunty angle?
His helmet saved his life
I want him to pick my lottery numbers!
