How can you laugh knowing you are also confessing complete absence of
empathy - to the whole world. Poor bike rider... and pity you.

And Holland is supposed to be so bicycle-friendly...

Is it just an unhappy coincidence (staged? photoshop'd?) that poor
crashin' bike person (ouch!, redux) has done his (apparently) poor
crashin' bike person thing diagonally across the road from a concert
hall where the final thingy-bit of Wagner's Ring Cycle" ("Der Ring des
Nibelungen"😉. the "Götterdämmerung" ("Twilight of the Gods"😉 is on?

Looks more like "Twilight of the Schnoz"...

Or, as Paul_MCMLIX said,
"Man, that wedding tackle is gonna be so SORE..."
so maybe "Twilight of the Cods"

I think it's the sight of that po-faced guy posing for the camera and
missing all the action happening behind him. It's still funny :-)

Richard.

Especially with that pretentious car ad. I'm wondering whether the wide
angle of the shot was to fit that in.

I hope you never watch funniest home videos. I actually dont because of the
reason you suggest. Although it might look funny some of those people look
like they get really hurt. I have to admit though I have laughed when I
have come unstuck similar to that but not really badly hurt.

The umlaut on the A in the car ad and the nl suffix on the web address
suggests the Netherlands (a.k.a. Holland) to me.

German bike paths are also usually a different colored concrete as well.

Forgot to mention: what is this Ouch! face-plant person doing riding a
full-suspension bike around city, anyway?

And just how long would he have that bike before it got stolen? Holland's
bike thieves are renkowned for their efficiency at separating bikes from
their owners. They say you don't buy a bike in Holland, you just rent it for
a while...

the "Der [Neue] Lexus" below it. The Dutch use either "De" or "Het".

Close but no cigar. It's Vienna. The building is the Staatsoper (Opera
House). If you look closely, the buses have Vienna sightseeing on them,
with a silhouette of the Prater ferris wheel.

They must be renovating the Opera House, judging by the scaffolding and
advertising hoardings that weren't there when I visited in 2000.

Appropriate the photo is in a German speaking country, as it's

schadenfreude

Aaah, Vienna, huh? I thought it looked a bit too hilly to be in Holland...

I reckon it could be posed. I think the backpack (or at least it's
contents) should rise higher up his back with the forward momentum.

I'm guessing that pretentious car ads in .au, .nl, or wherever they are
would be so pretentious as to stay in the language they were in, that is
the country the car was from. Especially in Holland, where folks would
get most of the gist of "copy" in German.

As I blunt-crayoned in clumsy block-capitals before, it might be that
the ad in German is what they put up in .nl ...

Spoil my fun, why don't ya... (which is also schadenfreude in action, I
guess.)
But of course, laughter means: being Schadenfreude but with a good
conscience. (Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, The Gay Science (1882). Book
III)

cartridge I can retro-fit my old MTB 1 1/8 inch headset with (a road one
would be fine)?
