Polish cyclist gets a soaking YouTube stillVideo: Why you shouldn't ride through big puddles - Polish cyclist gets a soaking
As you may have noticed, there is an awful lot of water around at the moment, and not just in Britain – Poland seems to have had some recent downpours too judging by the size of the puddles in this video, filmed earlier this month.
What follows is a cautionary tale in why you really shouldn’t ride through water if you don’t know what is underneath the surface – in this case, we’re guessing, a large pothole that brings a cyclist to a shuddering halt as he passes queueing traffic.
The result? He's thrown over the handlebars and sufers a good soaking, although from his reaction afterwards hopefully nothing more than his pride was hurt.

Although you can hear sound, no chuckling from the driver. Must have been a pro.
