Sydney delivery cyclist lucky to escape injury after colliding with driver's door

A Sydney delivery cyclist has captured the moment he slams into a driver's door which opens out in front of him on a busy city street.

Rider Jake Cunningham was cycling along Market Street in the CBD when the driver unwittingly opens his door.

While lucky to escape serious injury, the Deliveroo cyclist's bike wasn't as fortunate.

The $1000 ride had only been serviced just hours before it was totalled in the crash.

And the pain didn't end there for Cunningham who says police have told him he is at fault for the crash.

Cunningham said he wanted to film part of his 120km weekly Deliveroo service and share his experience on YouTube when he captured the crash.
