A late-night cyclist decided the flashing red lights and lowered gates at a railroad crossing were just polite suggestions.
Bad call
.In a raw video circulating under the “f**k around and find out” banner, the rider approaches the active crossing under cover of darkness. Gates down. Lights blazing. Train on the way.
Instead of stopping like anyone with a working sense of self-preservation, he ducks under the barrier, pedals hard across the tracks, and for a split second it looks like he actually pulled it off.
Then reality hits.
The bicycle goes down hard as the rider hits the second safety barrier. Rider and bike tumble across the asphalt right as a long freight train rockets through the crossing. The train doesn’t flinch. The bike ends up twisted near the rails while the locomotive blasts past at full speed.
