Luckily, the cyclist managed to break just in time, narrowly avoiding being knocked off her bike.

Uploading the video to Twitter, the woman warned other cyclists to take care against drivers who 'don't even bother to look'.

She tweeted: "Those #cycling on West Bar roundabout take care, on there this am with bright flashing lights x2 but they mean nothing when drivers don’t even bother to look before flying out! Grrr @CycleSheffield #sheffield #westbar @syptweet"

Cycle Sheffield replied: "Terrible driving and terrible road design. There is so much wasted space around there which could be used to create safe Space for Cycling
