I'd say he wasn't drunk. He walked okay and (allowing for the fact I don't speak the language) seemed coherent.
But why did he pull across the junction without stopping? Were ther traffic lights we couldn't see?
Yes, it is Greek according to a colleague of mine (who is Greek). He says something about she having a red light and he had a green light. And some bad words...
Looks to me like he had a green lght as there was no traffic crossing what looked like a very busy junction, Makes you wonder about protective gear, he had none got very heavily hit and did not seem to get injured at all,?

The guy's an acrobat, landed on his feet and started walking without a pause. If I had a green light and got hit like that by a car running red I would have some bad words to say as well.
I dont think he took the motorcycle safety course....
looks as though he took a course on how to be a cat.
one lucky guy.
I was at a house party years ago... and I heard the exact same screeching slamming audio... nasty!!
a really drunk woman on her bicycle took a very similar hit.... much harder impact. she was much much larger than the greek cat man. and I'm sorry to say that she never faired as well.
she was going in the same direction as the Honda CRX that hit her....
the really drunk lady swerved in front of the passing car... and smack.
by the time the car stopped.... the lady was lying 35-40ft in front of the car (which was doing about 45mph).
I figure the drunk cyclist was doing tops 5mph. I would say it was around a 40mph impact.
the damage was: caved in passenger side roof collapsed the A-pillar and her head went through the windshield.
a friend of hers (also very very drunk and on also on a bicycle) did stop and pick up her beer ... and encouragely yelled "hang in there Rosie!!!" as the ambulance attendants carried her away.
she was talking by the time they carried her away. but I think the little bastard drank her beer.
all right I think i'm done here.

I've seen this before, I still think it's amazing that the only thing that hit the ground was the soles of his feet. Dude ought to be in a Jackie Chan movie.
