In the clip his legs and his bike, which also tumbled into the back, can be seen poking out the truck.

The man, who appears shocked, then lies between rubbish bags until the truck stops and three passers-by rush over to help him.

The cyclist was uninjured, but the fate of his bike is currently unknown.  

The driver reportedly hit the binbags with such force that his helmet fell off, according to CornwallLive.
