The incident took place near the Liverpool International Business Park after the cyclist apparently did not hear the biker approaching.

Uploading a video of the incident to a public Facebook group at the weekend, Michael posted: ‘I wasn’t even hammering it. Lol’
As the cyclist then begins to move into the centre of the road, he spots a car pulling out to the right but does not hear the bike behind him.
The cyclist can be seen turning his head just as the pair collide and knock each other off their vehicles.
Michael calls the cyclist a ‘f***ing clown’ and exclaims ‘f***ing hell man’ as the cyclist responds ‘sorry mate, I didn’t see you’.
The biker then scolds the cyclist: ‘You should look behind you, you know’.
