He may have managed to avoid serious injury, but Byron Bay cyclist Anthony Condon can confirm he was the star of a YouTube video that shows his dramatic flip over the handlebars while cycling in a bunch at 50km/h.

"I've got the bruised bum to prove it," Condon said.

Byron Bay cyclist Anthony Condon's dramatic crash.

The 55-year-old was riding with a group from the Byron Bay Cycle Club when an out-of-place aluminium bar forced his wheel to lock up, which caused his body to flip over the handlebars and onto the road.

Fortunately the cyclist walked away unscathed, except for a few bruises and minor cuts.
